I STARTED TO FEED OUT OF A DISH-- ONE AT A TIME-- AND THEY AS THEY LOST INTEREST THEY WANDERED-- ALL EXCEPT CHARLIE- HE IS GOING TO BE -ANOTHER HEY DAWG HE REALLY DOES NOT LIKE HIS FEET SLIPPING -- AND MUCH PREFERS A MAT
THE MERLE IS LIKE A DRUNKEN TANK TRUCK
XL IS A LOUD COMPALINER-- NEW CONDITIONS HAVE HER VOCALING AN OBJECTION- MCOULD NOT SETTLE UNLESS IN THE PEN WITH HER "BANKIE"
PI AND CORKY ARE INVESTIGATING-- BEING COBWEB COLLECTORS
**********************
LATER UPDATE--- PI CHARLIE AND CORKY SETTLED ON A MAT OUTSIDE THEIR PEN--- AND MADE A WARM PUPPY PILE
XL HAD TO BE PUT BACK IN THE PEN--- AND SETTLED RIGHT AWAY
CRIMSON STARTED COMPLAINING -- LONG AND LOUD-- WOULD NOT SETTLE ON THE PUPPY PILE OUTSIDE THEIR PEN-- AND FINALLY I HAD TO LIFT HER BACK IN- AND SHE SHUT UP AND SNUGGLED IMMEDIATELY
NOW LETS SEE IF THOSE PERSONALITIES HOLD
****************************
KAREN AND HUSBAND LEFT-- HAVEING MET SEVERAL OF THE BOARD AND VOLUNTEERS- SHE COULD WALK PERFECTLY AND A LONG DISTANCE WITH BAILEY-- WHO BEHAVED ON THE BUTTON-- SHE CAN--- BUT SOMETIMES NOT.
SHE GOT THE LECTURE FROM ME "JUST DON'T PLAN A THING TIL YOU GO DOWN THE DRIVEWAY WITH A DOG" BUT AT THE MOMENT IT LOOKS LIKE ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO. IT WORKS BETTER FOR HER IF SHE GOES ON VACATION-THEN COMES FOR TRAINING WITH THE DOG--THAT WOULD BE 1ST PART OF JULY... SO IT MEANS WE CAN TRY AND SQUEEZE OTHERS AROUND THAT-----MAYBE BEFORE--
************************
I MET WITH THE UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE YESTERDAY-
IT WAS INTERESTING...
MANY TIMES I WAS TOLD BY THE DEFENDENT " THE PROBLEM WAS ... ALL I HAD TO DO WAS XXXXXX"
**CHANGE HER EMAIL
**WALK TO THE BARN TO GET THE CAREFULLY STACKED TOWELS
**KEEP THE COLOR CODED LEASHES IN THE PREDESTINED SPOT-
**SIT DOWN AND HAVE COFFEE INSTEAD OF SENDING THESE DAILY DOGGIE EMAILS. ETC ETC
WITH ZERO REGARD THAT MY JOB WAS TO TRAIN AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO "MAKE THE PAYROLL"
IT WAS INTERESTING.
WE ARE TO HEAR IN 14 DAYS- AND THE "INVESTIGATOR" SAID IF WE DID NOT APPROVE WE COULD ASK FOR ANOTHER HEARING.
I HAVE A FEELING --IT MAY CONTINUE TO BE INTERESTING.
*******************
TODAY-
WE CAN NO LONGER WAIT FOR FRANKIE'S RABIES PAPERWORK
AND WILL GO TAKE HIM FOR ANOTHER...
ON OUR (MEGAN AND I ) WAY TO LAHEY WHERE I HAVE TO "OBSERVE" A DOG AS A THERAPY DOG.- IT IS CERTAILNLY 99% DANE- WITH A BEAGLE TYPE HEAD?? NICE DOG- BUT I AM ASSUMING LAHEY WILL FIGURE IT IS ONE OF OURS AND NOT FUSS IF WE DO A QUICK RUN AROUND.
ELEVATORS ETC.
AND WE WILL HAVE FRANKIE AND PROBABLY MANNY
*************
MANNY IS ONE OF THOSE DOGS WHO IS AN EVERYDAY DOG-- SKIP A DAY OF TWO AND HE REVERTS TO WHATEVER YOU WERE TGRYING TO OVERCOME.
APPARENT;LY HE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE LOUD BUZZER THAT ANNOUNCES THE ARRIVAL OF THE ELEVATOR IN NORDSTROMS. SO WE WILL BE THERE ALSO IF WE GET A CHANCE. MEGAN HAD TO PRACTICALLY CARRY HIM OUT OF THE ELEVATOR.
******************
THE COUNCIL OF AGING VAN LOOKS TERRIFFIC AND MAY BE OUR SUMMER VEHICLE-- IT SEEMS TO WORK GREAT-- I KNOW THE AIR CONDITIONG IN THE AMBU IS NON EXHISTANT-- I AM HOPING THE COA VAN WILL WORK FINE.- AT LEAST THAT WHEELCHAIR LIFT BECOMES AQ GATE SO I COULD LEAVE DOORS OPEN IN THE SUMMER ON MANY DAYS AND MANAGE TO TAKE 2 SETS OF DOGS FOR TRAINING.
IT WILL BE FUNNY IF THE A/C WORKS AND THE HEATER DOES NOTG/// BECAUSE THE HEATER IN THE AMBU IS FINE... SO WE MAY HAVE A SUMMER AND A WINTR VEHICLE.
- THERE IS ONE NEW TIRE AT LEAST.; AT THAT RATE FOR $1 IT IS A BARGAIN-=-
LOVELY BRAND NEW SEATS.. WE CAN SCREW THEM INTO THE TRAINING ROOM FOR BACKING IN PRACTICE... WE WILL MAKE IT WORTH THE $1.
*****************
PROBABLY PISTOL AKA CLARA CAN GO HOME TODAY--- I WILL HAVE TO ASK BOBBY FIRST. AND THEN LET HER KNOW.
