THE NEWS SAID WE HAD 4+ INCHES OF RAIN LAST NIGHT-
I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE--- THERE IS NO MORE THAN 1/2 INCH INTHE LIVING ROOM .
I NOTICED IT AT 3AM--- AND TRIED TO BLAME CHAOS- BECAUSE SHE HAD EARLIER REFUSED TO GO OUT IN THE RAIN - PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED ON THE SIZE PEE PUDDLE SHE CAN MAKE-- SO WADING AROUND IN THE DARK I WAS SURE IT WAS HER.
THEN IT HIT ME
ACTUALLY IT DID HIT ME--
DRIPPED RIGHT ON MY HEAD... FROM SEVERAL PLACES- BUT BLESS THAT NEW ROOF... IT DID NOT DRIP ON ANYTHING ELECTRONIC-- OR ALIVE ( THAT I KNOW OF---- I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CHIPMONK THAT MAY BE LIVING UNDER THIS DESK.)
IN MY FIRM BELIEF IN FATE-- I CAN ASSUME SOMEONE SOMEWHERE DECIDED OUR FLOOR NEEDED WASHING --- SO AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST WHEN FACED WITH A SEMIFLOOD--- YOU ADD A LITTLE DISH WASHING DETERGENT... A DROP OR TWO OF CHLOROX- AND VACUUM IT UP--
TO BE PERFECT--- IF YOU DO THAT MID STORM-- YOU CAN VACUUM IT AGAIN AFTER THE RINSE CYCLE.

PUPPIES---
ONE BUNCH SHUFFLED OUT--- ONTO THE THE BACK ROOM/COVERED DECK ACCOMODATIONS-- WHILE MOM( OLIVE) OVERNIGHTS WITH PRISCILLA
THE CHAOTIC TRIBE HAS NOW ENTERED BARKING/GROWLING PRACTICE PHASE. THEY DO NOT YET HAVE ANY CONCEPT OF APPROPRIATE TIMEING OF "THE BARK"
CHAOS HAS CLAIMED THE 2 "PEOPLE PILLOWS" ON THE SOFA AS HER PERSONAL RETREAT- I CAN Hardly blame her-- while i was bottle feeding themn yesterday one crawled up my shirt and bit me--
in the confusion of shirt climbing the pup ran into something resembling a circle-- grabbed it and bit -- hard...
i hesitated to share the location with the assembled group of volunteers- but let me assure you-- those teeth are sharp.
I WONDER HOW I COULD WRITE UP THE WORKMANS COMP ON THAT ONE.
AND WHAT KIND OF PHYSICAL THERAPY WOULD BE COVERED BY INSURANCE....
I BETTER QUIT THERE.
I HAVE A SKIN DR APT TODAY AT LAHEY-
I WILL GET DANIELLE TO INSPECT THE WOUND.
DARN PUPPIES--
THAT DOES IT-- THEY ARE GOING IN TO DISH LAPPING 101 TODAY-

THE INDY REPORT ---- DOIN GREAT !-
I AM VERY GLAD HE HAS INDY-- SHE IS DEFINITELY NOT A STAY AT HOME TYPE
Tuesday
Indy, my son and I got a late start after breakfast and went to the barbershop. She did great with all of us waiting our turn and seems to have an uncanny knack for deciding when I'm a bit uneasy and helping with that as well. She was a bit unsure of what was what when it came time for me to get in the chair and get a haircut. She was very intent on every move the barber made but with some reassurance she decided it was OK and was back to checking who else had been to get a haircut recently. Later that afternoon we were off to a Veteran meeting and passed out many Service Dog Project cards. She was a star there and shined bright. when it started she layed right down beside me. Even when things got rather loud and animated she stayed right there quiet beside me.
BUD WAS CONCERNED ABOUT VETERANS MEETINGS WHICH CAN BE "ANIMATED"
I WOULD LOVE TO IMPLY IT WAS OUR MARVELOUS TRAINING--- BUT IN FACT IT IS PROBABLY THE SAME THING THAT MAKES THESE DANES VERY POOR ALERT DOGS FOR THE DEAF. NOT MUCH IS WORTH DISRUPTING A CHANCE TO SNOOOOOZE.
