puppy progress
the 12" section is a joke- they go over it as fast as they go thru the open gate right next to it
we are learning to fence fight IT IS SOOO much better than actually getting chewed up..
i decided it is like drivers who curse and swear aT OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY -- PERFECTLY SECURE INSIDE THEIR VEHICLES... THEY RAGE ON-
I BET IF SOMEONE DID A STUDY THEY WOULD FIND IT IS NOT AS COMMON WHEN CARS ARE PARKED AT A TRFFIC LIGHT AS IT IS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY--- AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT SOMEONE MIGHT GET OUT AND ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING.
ANYWAY...PUPPIES---
THE PUPS HAVE ALSO LEARNED THE SLIDE-DRAG-TEAR MANEUVER -- SO MY NICE TIDY PILE OF NEWSPAPERS IS EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED ALL OVER THE FLOOR.... THEN SHREADED...---- WHICH WOULDN'T BE BAD--- EXCEPT REMEMBER LAST WEEK THEY DECIDED "NEWSPAPERS? PERFECT POOING PLACE"
I ALWAYS SAID "TO SUCCESSFULLY RAISE ANIMALS -- BENG OBSERVANT IS THE MOST CRITICAL TRAIT." LIKE..."HOW CAN A PIECE OF TWIG BE SO ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT?" NATURE DOES NOT DO 100% STRAIGHT AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE A NAIL--OR SOME OTHER MAN MADE OBJECT-
ANOTHER STUDY COULD BE --- HOW MUCH OF THE DANVERS ANIMAL HOSPITAL IS SUPPORTED BY DOGS SWALLOWING A MAN MADE OBJECT?
******************
IN KINDERGARDEN--- THE SONG "BEND AND STRETCH-- REACH FOR THE SKY" THAT IS WHAT WE NEED NOW--- OR PREFERABLY YESTERDAY-- ALL THE WHITE BUCKETS ALL OVER THE GREENISH AREAS ARE TO PICK UP ANYTHING BESIDES GREEN GROWING THINGS--- LIKE ROCKS,, OR HEAVEN FORBID--- A HAY STRING... IN PREPARATION FOR THE FIRST MOW.
HAVING TOPSEEDED THE BARE SPOTS== THERE ARE MANY ROCKS WHICH NEED TO BE REMOVED-- THAT MOWER CAN SEND ONE SIDEWAYS WITH THE SPEED OF A BULLET.
IF LIFE WAS A PURE WORLD ONE MIGHT ASK-- IF THE TOPSOIL IS FROM THE MANURE PILE AS OF 3 YEARS AGO... WHERE DID THE ROCKS COME FROM?.
I KNEW A CONTRACTOR WHO SAID "GOD CALLS THE ROCKS FROM THE DEPTHS TO THE SURFACE" WHATEVER ,,,
I HATE TO THINK OF ANYONE STANDING IN THEIR FAMILY ROOM BENDING OVER REPETITIVELY NOT ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING..WE NEED "BENDERS" AS ROCK PICKERS
THAT FLAT FIELD LOOKS SO NICE WHEN IT RESEMBLES LAWN.
I HAVE NO SPECIAL HEALTH TO REPORT--
WHAT DD WOULD BE COMPLETE WITH OUT SOME POO OBSERVATIONS..
THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE DIAMETER OF THE POO OF CHARLIE,CRIMSON AND PI COMPARED TO XL AND CORKY
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU NEEDED THAT--- BUT..... ALL THAT CUT CARDBOARD WORKS BEAUTIFULLY AS PICKER UPPERS.
AS I CAREFULLY BALANCE THEY CYLINDERS TO BE DEPOSITED IN THE RECEPTACLE - I AM REMINDED OF COLLEGE DORM LIFE AND "SH#T ON A SHINGLE"
******************
WE DID GO TO THE DODGE DEALER TO MEASURE THE MINIVANS WE HAVE ON ORDER FOR THE TRIP TO NY GALA-- I AM GLAD WE DID THAT.
RE THE 3 SEATS IN THE BACK----- 3 PEOPLE CAN RIDE IN THE BACK ONLY IT 2 OF THEM WEIGH LESS THAN 50 POUNDS.
SO THAT PUPPY VAN COLD BE 2 IN THE BACK-- ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND 2 IN FRONT TO BE COMFORTABLE- AND ABLE TO MANAGE THE PUPS.
AND THE BARRIERS (WHITE SHELVING )WILL HAVE TO BE 6'LONG NOT 8' AND WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED NOT TO BE AGAINST ANY WALL--- SO WE ARE A RANDOM ?OCTAGIONAL SHAPE APROX 12 X 15
WE ALSO BOUGHT A NEW TARP-- DARK BROWN- WHICH I REMEMBER WORKED WELL ON THE DARK CARPET OF THE GALA DINING ROOM--- IT DOES HAVVE SOME TEXTURE AND WILL BE FINE IF WE BREAK IT UP WITH SOME COLORFUL THINGS--- LIKE A FEW TOYS AND A BATH MAT OR TWO,

TODAY'S SCHEDULE??
CUTTING AND PASTING
Hi Carlene,
I wanted to thank you for letting Ben, Hadley and I come by and visit SDP yesterday. We had such a wonderful time getting to see all of the dogs and the pups and really feel that what you all do there is incredible. Once we got home, Ben and I started talking about coming to help out on a more regular basis. We are available on Saturdays and Sundays all day and would be willing to help out anyway we could – you just tell us what to do.
Also, Ben works for a division of GE in Beverly and was selected to be part of the C.I.T.E. community service/charity group at Electric Insurance. This morning he sent the following email to one of the executives in hopes of helping to raise some money for your organization:

Morning Rob,
I was wondering if we could do a jeans day, make a donation, or something for this local (Ipswich) charitable organization, “The Service Dog Project”. Their goal is to train and provide service dogs (Great Dane’s) to mobility challenged veterans and other individuals.
My wife, daughter, and I spent Sunday at the farm, an incredible experience, meeting everyone and we plan to offer our assistance with chores/help on a more regular basis going forward.
Please find attached below a link to their website as well as a short montage video of their mission.
Thank you for considering it.
Benjamin

You know Carlene, I woke up this morning looking forward to hearing your opinion about Bin Ladin being killed. I was little let down by your omission of the event in the Doggie Daily. But Ann's note about selective hearing made me think. Kate is way better about that now as she now thinks being called is the best thing that could happen. I always give her a big rub down when she comes to encouurage the behavior so now when I call her she comes over with her tail wagging. The bad thing about that is that if she does something wrong and I call her over in a stern manner to give her a talking to, my heart just melts when she comes over with her head hanging in shame but her tail wagging like I am holding a steak.
I wish you the best of luck in finding a timely match for Bernard, he deserves it.

WELL I HAD THOUGHTS ON BIN LADIN- B UT MOSTLY I ONLY HEAR SNIPPETS OF THE DETAILS--- WHICH I AM SURE WOULD BE FASCINATING.
LIKE--- THE DETAILS OF COMPARING HIS DNA TO HIS SISTERS BRAIN DNA-- I WONDER WHAT PART OF HIM THEY CUT OFF FOR A SAMPLE.
AND FEEDING HIM TO THE FISHES WAS BRILLIANT I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO THOUGHT OF THAT........ - SOLVED ALOT OF PROBLEMS-- I KIND OF WISHED MAYBE HE WAS NOT DEAD WHEN THEY REMOVED A PIECE OF HIM THEN TOSSED HIM -- BUT THAT IS CHILDISH ( I SUPPOSE).
DO I DARE WISH OUR COUNTRY HAS DECIDED TO ATTACK A PROBLEM WITH INTELLIGENCE ??
