chaos pups win the prize for noise makers
now that i am up--- they are only snoring --
but they spent the night on bark and growl practice---- with the occasional wail of "that hurts" which gets me right out of bed to find one has another's ear-- or private part--- as often happens with this age group.
gurgle report- colleen fed last night and reported he snorted a sizable quantity of white--- presumably milk-- which must have been from nursing-- because i had fed him 2 tablespoons of puppy food ( brown)
since the snort was white... logic... etc...
so in an effort to give him enough to grow on... i fed just him at 9... 2:30... and then 5:30 just a bit-- ground up with goats milk--- lap out of bowl--- and it seems to have stayed down
careful inspection of the "linens" in the pen indicate that any brown marks were made by food already run thru the processing puppy gut units
i wish i had enough nerve to take him off mom's milk-- but since he does not know about water drinking, i am afraid the fluid management is beyond me.

chicken bingo
for political and possibly legal reasons i did not put on the memsaic wall the fact that the bingo prize was $500.
i think it is better odds than the mass lottery--- can someone verify that?? one chance in 420 of winning is far better i think ----- somebody check the back of one of those keno cards for the odds...
and i really want to run one a month... hopefully our bunch of daily doggers-- and their friends-- will buy a brick on our wall instead of a couple scratch tickets.
i will call the kayem hot dog people-- they have been very nice to give us hot dogs in the past-- so on the day of the sh#tting we can give the SUNDAY stewers a hot dog and ear of corn for their purchase of a "brick" on our wall.... as we sit around watching the hens "work" at picking the winner.
gwen--- do you have an email address for your kayem neighbors??
it would be fun and a huge help---
we are over $300 already so click away
OUR GOAL IS TO GET A LIVE WEB CAMERA GOING BY THE FIRST SUNDAY IN SEPTEMBER ---IF NOT, WE CAN SOMEHOW PUT THE RESULTING NUMBER/WINNER SOMWHERE ON THE WEB SO YOU CAN CHECK THE RESULTS STARTING 3:01 PM...

SERVICE DOG TRAINING....
IN PREP FOR THE BUS RIDE TO/AROUND THE AIRPORTS I LEFT MEGAN AND KAREN WITH BARNEY AND TESS AT NORTH SHORE SHOPPING CENER - WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS " GET ON THE NEXT BUS AND CALL ME FROM WHEREVER YOU LAND AND I WILL COME PICK YOU UP"
MEANWHILE I DID GEORGE'S VET HOSPITAL'S COSTCO SHOPPING.
CALL CAME FROM MEGAN-- SHE WAS IN CENTRAL SQUARE- BUT SHE DID NOT KNOW IF IT WAS CAMBRIDGE OR LYNN'S CENTRAL SQUARE.
IT DIDN'T REALLY MATTER BECAUSE SHE TALKED THE BUS DRIVER INTO CARRYING HER BACK TO THE SHOPPING CENTER FREE OF CHARGE--
THEY WERE AFRAID TO GET OFF IN CENTRAL SQUARE FOR FEAR THE DOGS MIGHT NOT GET BACK ON
BUT MEGAN CAN DEAL WITH THAT ON HER OWN TODAY...
******************

THE HAUL AND DRAGGERS OF THE DAY WILL BE LORI ANNE POLLY..ME-- THEN ADD HILLARY WHO WILL SWAP DRIVING TOM WITH BOB-- SHE WILL BE OUR PUPPY CHASER IF THEY GET LOOSE... WHICH MIGHT BE FUN.
THERESA WILL BE HERE TO SIT WITH PUPS-- THO THEY MIGHT BE FINE ALONE- WE CAN NOT KEEP UP THE 24 HOUR SURVEILENCE---HAVE TO RISK IT SOMETIME.
PISTOL CAN GO-- THEN A CARRIAGE WITH 2 OF THE OLIVE PUPS-- MAYBE PI- AND MAYBE TUCKER----BAILEY WITH SORE FOOT WILL HAVE TO STAY IN THE LOBBY WITH BOB AND TOM.
BUT HER ATTENDENCE WAS SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED... SHE CAN NOT WALK FAR AND BE COMFORTABLE
BAILEY MANAGEMENT WILL BE TO CARRY HER IN THE GOLF CART TO THE GRASSY AREAS WHERE SHE CAN EXERCISE WITHOUT HURTING THAT FOOT.
THE FOOT HAS NO "PAD"- JUST SOFT PINK SKIN-- NOT TOUGH ENOUGH.
GEORGE IS GUESSING CURES--- AND WE ARE ON IT.

THE NEW NUT HOUSE BUILDING -- PROGRESS
WE NOW HAVE 3 POSTS SET- AND CAN START ON SOME EXCITING PARTS--- LIKE PEICES OF THE FLOOR.
WE CAN PUT IN THAT 4TH POST LATER..
I BET WE CAN PAINT THE T-111 AND RE-USE ALOT OF IT
THE INTERIOR WALLS HAVE TO BE DISMANTLED CAREFULLY AS THAT POLYMAX ( WASHABLE)SIDING IS PROBABLY STILL GOOD

idiot problem of the day...
here i have a chance to solve the worlds mosquito problem-- and my poor memory has done me in.
fact--
1. this house has a few- but i would not say "is loaded with" mosquitos.
2. i often eat supper etc out of a cup in my chair- and set the cups on the bookcase to eventually get to the dishwasher.
3. this morning.. lightly floating in a cup of yellow airy foam were 12 nearly dead mosquitos
4. i can not remember what was in that cup that would foam up with a yeasty smell.. but whatever it was it pulled in most of the mosquitos in the house.... well, 12 is a lot in one cup
in this house, cups of foaming/ fermenting substances is not totally unusual--- but this looked fairly current...
if i could only remember...
there goes another of my inventions---
