what a way to start a Sunday morning besides the discussion of the control condition and consistancy of poo.
this service dog bit may be very poetic--- but much more time is spent dealing with poo production than training... ADI never mentions that.
THE CALL IS OUT FOR NEWSPAPERS---
NOT JUST RANDOM,,, IT REALLY HELPS IF YOU Eliminate the slipperies ( magazine/ad sections )
and if you cAN REALLY BE KIND ENOUGH TO PREPACK IT FOR IMMEDIATE USE----.. IT HELPS TO ELIMINATE THE THICK WADS AND HAVE A "GRABBABLE UNIT" OF 4 TO 6 PAGES.
*************
IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A NICE DAY-- CHAOS IS OVER HER HUGE HANGING OVERSTUFFED FEMININE APPENDAGES-- AND IS READY TO ENJOY HER PUPS AS LONG AS SOMEONE CAN KEEP THEM FROM TRYING TO NURSE... I THINK SHE IS NEaRLY DRIED UP--- BUT NATURE IS GENEROUS--- TOO MUCH PUPPY NURSING AND SHE MIGHT START UP AGAIN. AND THEY DO NOT NEED IT.
THEY NEED TO GET OUT IN THE SUNSHINE-- probably the grannie pen right outside the t-tent.
THERE IS A PEQUILIr odor to wet newspapers even if it is just water
and in this case it is not.,

hillary and molly did yoemans service yesterday- and on top of everything else--- she did mop/vac the "area" that used to be living room/office/kitchen-- and is now covered with a moppable mess daily
i could rant about mops--- and how "mop-up" is a misnomer-- unless you mop---vac and rinse----, they are only a "mop-smear".
which brings me to my obsession with the purchase of wet/vacs
i am to vacuum cleaners what imanda whoever is to shoes
costco had a neat stainless steel small roll around cheerful looking wet/vac for $30
which i could not resist. and if you forget the 12 inch wide pickup tool with it's fancy floor/rug switch-- and go straight for the down and dirty 4"wide tool--- it reallly works --picking up and hiding the mess in the pretty stainless steel tank.
must not forget it is there !!.

puppy training wise--here is another wild -perhaps ridiculous theory-
these pups have to be one of the messiest -- often getting only their front feet off the fluffy bed
the males are slightly better only because their plumbing is angled differently-
so i watch --- and i wonder---
is this bunch poorly trained because at a critical point in their lives mommy got mastitis and had to be removed ?-- so they no longer had her cold nose poking them as they tried to empty whatever - maybe she was not only cleaning up after them but steering them--- eventually they learned to get far from her for a moment of quiet relif.
i wonder how the mythbusters would test that one.
******************
the bigger pups ( olives bunch) need to have that feeder updated with a step- so they can eat on their hind legs-- one dish to a dog.
there is a 6 holer on the deck now--- and i think a 3 holer is around somewhere ??? near the dchickens??? at any trae we need it moved to the deck and a step added-
we hav plenty of lumber compliments of kristens builder as he sorts out the crooked boards.
crooked lumber is a blessing around here- it is a marvelous excuse for things that don't quite fit
************
speaking of which-- i got the next 2 posts set--- at least in place--- still need concrete etc- hopefully stewers will help today
thanks to the nearby tree's roots one of them is barely down a foot-- so somewhere in my interior design i will have to tie that to the 2x6' s of the floor in a triangle and let the building hold it up... the rest are down 3' so it should work.
reason #693 why i do not get on well with the building inspector. i used that solution in building the training room 15 years ago and it is still standing.
triangles are good.
they should have had more of them in indiana.
******************
moving dogs around--- or tryng to "park" some
janine's tenant who had a dog is moving out-- so she needs a dog-
she lives a a pretty random existance- but whatever-- she turns out a welll trained happy dog-- she basically trained bailey. she does not micromanage a dog- probbly because she can't ever find a leash and collar.
she is thinking... pistol or jasper-
pistol would be great because janine lives 1 block off 95 ---- alice could pick her for playtime variety-- and she would be close enough for me to "use" her in therapy calls.
jasper is a great dog tooo
but he would be best placed with noel-- and not too far away either.
******************
we are down to the pencil and paper breeding project-
who do we have where?--- and who is related to who?
and will there be a need in a year or two for another stud from europe?
a lot depends on if luna is pregnant with bobby's pups.
he--- or at least his masculine appendages- will be missed--- as george is recommending they be removed as soon as possible due to the infection/mass we are having trouble clearing up.

today/ stew's on etc
******************
i spoke to matt--- the guy who wrote the memsaic board we are using for the chicken sh#t bingo
it is functioning fine with the slight bug where it is giving people a no where it should be yes in completion
he said he would be in the office today..
you may not know... i use the term chicken sh#t.. because some people have filters on their computers to delete an email containing certain words-- so i have to spell them wrong
danm it
