June 9, 2011


I AM STARTING A BIT LATE--
 
MANNY IS PROGRESSING
 
WALKING BEAUTIFULLY WITH BERNARD-- PAUSING AT CURBS--- STAIRS  ETC  
 
APPARENTLY --FAIRLY NORMAL IN THE HOUSE-- BUT IN THE T-TENT, HE WENT FROM
1. " IF YOU HAVE THAT LEASH IN YOUR HAND I WILL NOT GO NEAR YOU EVEN FOR LIVER---"
TO
2 WITHOUT THE  COLLAR...MAYBE A CAN SNEAK IN AND GET THE LIVER
3 TO "I'M HERE AS YOU CALLED--- WHERE IS THE LIVER?"
4. ?GOT ANY ?
5. TO HECK WITH THE COLLAR IN YOUR HAND-- THAT LIVER IS ADDICTIVE.
*********************
PROGRESSIONS DO WORK
******************
WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON VERY CONTROLLED SPOON FEEDING  WITH  THAT WAIT-- PARTICULARLY  CALLING FROM  A DISTANCE
 
IT WILL BE HOT-- SO MAYBE  DO THAT TOMORROW- AND SPEND THE DAY TRYING TO KEEP OURSELVES AND THE DOGS COOL.
 
WE HAVE MISTERS LINED UP FOR THE KENNEL DOGS'
 
*************************
 
VETS...
WE HAVE A NEW VOLUNTEER-   TONY -- VET WHO SPENT IRAQ TIME WITH THEIR BOMB SNIFFING DOGS  30 GERMAN SHEPHARDS- INTERESTING
HE HAS TIME TO SPEND HERE SAT AND SUNDAY
HE PASSED THE FIRST TEST AS WE--- ALL--- HAD COLLAPSED IN THE T-TENT MISTER  AND  PI NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT DOWN FROM THE HOUSE
SO WITH ONLY THE INSTRUCTINS OF " THERER IS A PUPPY IN THE HOUSE WITH A FUNNY THING ON HER HEAD WHO NEEDS TO COME DOWN HERE..."
AND HE GOT HER !
 
HE ALSO SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANY THING LIKE THIS HEAD GEAR--- WHICH LOOKS EVEN MORE WIERD BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF BLACK ELECT TAPE  SO IT IS MULTI COLORED.
TONY HAS HAD - I THINK - ALOT OF EXPERIENCE IN THE "NORMAL" DOG WORLD-- SO HE SHOULD BE AN INTERESTING ADDITION.
 
SUDDENLY FACED WITH THAT HAT-- HE ASSUMED I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT ALL THE WHITE TAPE ROUTINE-
AND GEORGE  OFFERED TO SHOW ME MORE TAPING...
I HAVE BEEN THRU MILES OF TAPE--,TAMPONS--,COLLAR STAYS --, TIE WRAPS-- AND BREATHE RIGHT STRIPS.......
 BUT AS I LOOK THE SITUATION OVER  I THINK I WILL TRY STAYING WITH THE COAT HANGERS-- SHE IS VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE RIG--- AND I THINK IT IS A VET/HUMAN TENDANCY TO GET IT ALL COVERED UP WITH CLEAN LOOKING  WHITE TAPE-- I AM NOT CONVINCED IT IS BETTER FOR THE DOG.  IT JUST LOOKS MORE ORGANIZED THAN BLACK ANDN YELLOW PADDED COAT HANGERS
 
THERE IS NO INDICATION  HER EARS ARE BOTHERING HER AT ALL
 
IT IS AN OUT OF THE BOX SITUATION--
***********************
MEGAN IS BACK
 
SCHEDULE TODAY
 
GO WITH MANNIE AND BERNARD TO SOMEWHERE AIRCONDITIONED AND PRACTICE
 
SUDBAY IS ON THEIR WAY WITH A SHUTTLE TO PICK UP TOM AND PAUL TO GET THE COA VAN...
 
LET US PRAY THE A/C NOW WORKS...
