WE COULD HAVE A CHEERS AND JEERS SECTION OF THIS DD
CHEERS TO THE CHICKEN SH#T PROJECT-- 1/5 OF THE BRICKS ARE SOLD ALREADY- SO WE ARE BEYOND THE POINT OF PAYING THE PRIZE NOW WE ARE MAKING PUPPY FOOD MONEY FOR REAL....
I RECIEVED AN EMAIL FRO,M AN OLD FRIEND (ACCENT "OLD" ) WHO SAID "I HAVE HAD A LIFETIME OF FUNDRAISING SCHEMES BUT THIS ONE TAKES TH E CAKE)-
WE-- AS IN THE SDP VOLUNTEERS WHO SIT AROUND AND DRINK COFFEE--- DID DREAM UP THE ENTIRE THING SEVERAL YEARS AGO--
I SUGGESTED WE PROMOTE THE "PACKAGE" TO OTHER CHARITIES--- AND PROBABLY STILL COULD-- BUT WE JUST NEVER GOT ROUND TO IT.
THERE ARE NOW SEVERAL THAT GOOGLE--I HAVE NOT LOOKED THEM OVER-- IT IS A SOMEDAY THING
I REMEMBER CRINGING BEFORE THE FIFTH FORMAL SH#TTING AT THE IPSWICH COUNTRY CLUB WHEN I BIT THE BULLET AND BOUGHT THAT VINYL FLOOR WITH THE 3 INCH SQUARE PATTERN- IT WAS $300- BUT IT HAS MADE US OVER $8,000 SO FAR,
IT IS A LITTLE TIRED LOOKING--- THOSE QUICK DRY ERASERS- DO NOT ERASE QUICKLY---
RE THE MEMSAIC BOARD
THERE IS A SLIGHT CONFUSION WITH THE FINAL YES/NO UPLOAD-- I HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER OF MATT WHO WROTE THE PROGRAM-- HE ASSURED ME HE WOULD FIX IT ON SUNDAY WHEN HE WOULD BE BACK IN THE OFFICE.. HE INDICATED IT WAS A NEW PIECE OF HARDWARE THAT WAS CAUSING THE "NO" BUT THE REST OF THE TRANSACTION WAS "THERE"
IT IS AN AMAZING PROGRAM- THIS IS THE FIRST BUG I HAVE SEEN
IT PRODUCES A LIST PEOPLE WHO PURCHSED BRICKS WITH EMAILS AND SNAILMAIL ADDRESSES AND DROPS THE INFO ONTO AN EXCELL SPREADSHEET.
AND MATT IS MARBLEHERAD--- NOT INDIA--
JANINE WAS THE ONE WHO FOUND THIS PROGRAM-- SHE IS SOME KIND OF EXPERT--- SHE TRUSTS COMPUTERS--
I --AM ALSO AN EXPERT-- I PRINT OUT A HARD COPY EVERY FEW DAYS SO IF THE CHURN PADDLE STICKS WE CAN STILL MAKE BUTTER.
****************************
DOGS---
MEGAN DELIVERED BARNEY TO KEITH IN ATLANTA ON SCHEDULE AND THEY WERE SETTLING IN-- HUDSON WAS ENJOYING BARNEY.S COMPANY- THANK HEAVENS I WAS WORRIED--- HUDSON IS SO DEVOTED TO KEITH I WORRIED HE MIGHT BE JEALOUS-
I EAGERLY AWAIT THE DETAILS WHEN SHE GETS HERE AT 8:00. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME AMUSING MOMENTS-- YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITHOUT SOME NEAR DISASTERS --AKA challengeS.
**********
POOR CHAOS WITH THOSE HUGE FEMININE APPENDAGES--- STILL RUNNING A TEMP- LAST NIGHT 104 AND I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TODAY YET. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH GEORGE WHO SAID HE WOULD BE THERE AT 8AM TODAY
GEORGE IS ALWAYS THE PESSIMIST-- BUT HE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE CORRECT.
WE ARE ASSUMING HER TEMP IS COMING FROM THE MASTITIS-- BUT REMEMBER SHE IS THE ONE THAT PASSED CLUMPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM
THE PUP THAT GURGLES IS NOT DOING ANY BETTER- WE SHOULD HAVE GEORGE LOOK HIM OVER AND BE SURE WE ARE NOT MISSING ANYTHING THAT COULD BE FIXED.
*******************
AND PEOPLE THINK HAVING PUPS IS A SIMPLE THING.
*******************
OLIVE STILL HAS A MINOR DRIP AND THOSE PUPS ARE 7 WEEKS OLD- MAYBE PRISCILLA CAN MEET US THERE--
PRISCILLA----I WILL CALL WHEN WE GET ORGANIZED
WITH BAILEY WHO 'S FEET ARE BETTER--- WE STILL NEED TO RIG SOME KIND OF SHEEPSKIN BOOTIES FOR HER-- ANYBODY GOT SOME SMALL SCRAPS AROUND FOR US TO TRY-- ?? DO NOT GO BUY ANY--- THERE MUST BE SOME AROUND
***********************
WITH MEGAN BACK WE CAN GET BACK ON TESS'S CASE.--- SHE IS DOING WELL BUT NEEDS SOME MORE "ONE STEP" TRAINING.
AS DOES PISTOL AND TUCKER WHO ARE BECOMING OUR AAT - THERAPY- DOG SPECIALAITS- TUCKER IS NOT AS GOOD AS THUMPER...YET
******************
WHAT A SCREWBALLED JOB MEGAN HAS---
FIND A STORE YOU WANT TO GO TO - THEN GO THERE WITH A DOG.
PLEASE NOTE--- IF YOU GIVE HER EXACT DETAILS SHE CAN GO ALMOST ANYWHERE WITHIN RANGE AND RUN ERANDS- SHOP-- PICK UP LARGE PACKAGES-- 12 ' LUMBER AND SIZABLE FURNATURE THAT WOULD FIT IN THE COA.
WE DO THAT FOR THE DANV ANIMAL HOSP-- AMY ( OFFICE MANAGRER) EMAILS ME AN EXACT COSTCO LIST AND WITHIN DAYS I CAN DELIVER IT TO THE BACK DOOR.
THAT BACK DOOR IS A WONDERFUL PRIVILIDGE ---
******************
**********************
THE WILD AND WOOLIE PUPS OF OLIVES SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE ROUND TRIP TO THE T-TENT A DAY--- AND IT IS ONE OF SDP'S MOST ENJOYABLE SCENERIOS
WHEN THAT IS HAPPENING YOU MAY COME TO THE GOLF CART PARKED ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY--
THAT MEANS EITHER DON'T MOVE OR PARK ANYWHERE- QUICKLY--
THE CHAOS PUPS ARE GETTING MUCH BETTER ORGANIZED AS SOLID FOOD IS SERVED IN 8 DISHES ON A "TABLECLOTH" ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR
YOU NEED A TABLECLOTH FOR TRACTION.
I HAVE BEEN CONCERNED THAT THEIR HEADS ARE TOO LARGE---THAT MEANS - USUALLY- THEY NEED MORE GROCERIES-- NOW THAT THEY ARE OFF CHAOS AND ONTO PUPPY FOOD AND ONE A DAY DOG VITAMINS- THEY SHOULD BULK UP
ANYONE WITH NOTHING TO DO--- COULD WEIGH AND RECORD THEIR WEIGHTS WITH DATE AND TIME--
WE HAVE TO STAY ON TOP OF THAT --- THAT COULD BE A LORI SPECIALITY--- IT IS HER SCALE...
ALSO--- WORMING WILL HELP-
ALL PUPS HAVE WORMS---- JUST ONE OF THOSE WIERD FACTS OF CANINE REPRODUCTION.
THIS DOES NOT TAKE THE FANCY WORMER WHICH IS FOR EXOTIC TYPE WORMS= THIS IS THE $2 A GALLON ROUND WORMER..
WELL........ IT IS NOT LIKE THE $682 BOTTLE OF "ALL WORMER"
**************************
? THE JEERS??
K3 WAS HELPING WITH THE NUT HOUSE "REMODELING" AND I EXPLAINED MY DELICATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE IPSWICH BUILDING INSPECTOR-
WHEN I WOULD NOT PICK HIS CONTRACTOR TO REBUILD THE ARENA HE SAID " YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE YOU ARE ONLY A WOMAN"
K3 HAD A SIMILAR SITUATION IN THE MILATARY WHEN HER COMMANDER SAID " I DON'T EXPECT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FINISH THE RIGORS OF TRAINING"
AND SHE RETURNED WITH ALL THOSE COLORED PINS THEY WEAR WHEN THEY FINISH TOP OF THEIR GROUP.
THEN I COUNTED THE NUMBER OF TINY 98 POUND VOLUNTEERS AROUND HERE WHO HAVE MORE STREGNTH AND STAMINA THAN MOST 200 POUND MEN I HAVE MET.
K3 BEING ONE OF THEM--- AND HILLARY--AND EARLENE---
THIS "ONLY A WOMAN " CONCEPT IS NOT DEAD- BUT THANKFULLY IS BEING SHOT DOWN BY THE YOUNGER GENERATION.
----HAVE AT IT.!

THE BUD2 AND INDY REPORT
Indy and I ventured in to the JP VA Wednesday for a bone scan. Indy was ok with arriving and going in. A bit unsure about the lab but she was ok enough to back up for me and lay down long enough for us to escape. The scan itself she was less happy about, first she wanted to be with me but eventual accepted sitting on Stephs lap so long as the machine stayed over by me. After the scan she was more than happy to show the way out. She was very brave considering what it all must have looked like to her. So today we took it easy and went for a short walk on a rail trail where others ride bikes walk and walk dogs . She really enjoyed sniffing about.
**************
THEN FROM SUZI - WENHAM
The purpose of my email is to see if there is any interest on your part to allow the seniors from Hamilton and Wenham help socialize your dogs and/or puppies.
If there is interest, I was wondering if on Monday's you could come to the Hamilton Council on Aging (Bay Rd/1A) for about an hour and allow seniors to be a part of your project. I would like to see if it might be possible to bring seniors to you, let's say perhaps on Monday's to help socialize the puppies.
***************
THIS IS WHAT I CALL GOOD USE OF AN ASSET.
IF THEY CAN COME AND ENJOY THE OUTDOORS/PUPS AND DOGS-- BY ALL MEANS
SELF SUFFICINECY IS THE WORD--- AS LONG AS I DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING- IT IS WONDERFUL MOST ANY DAY.
DIDN'T THE BLUE BUNCH SAY THEY MIGHT HAVE MONDAYS AVAILABLE O HELP??
MAYBE I COULD MATCH THOSE TWO--- AND KEEP ME INFORMED WITH COPIES OF EMAILS
