todays alarming news
luna got stuck in the laundry doggie door
doesn't sound like much and might not be... except..
luna is the one we hope is pregnant with bobby pups..
and she has been going in and out that door for months.
COULD ALSO BE THAT SHE IS TOO FAT-- I SEE NO DEVELOPEMENT OF HER BOOOBS - HER'S HAVE ALOT OF MILES ON THEM ALREADY AFTER 4 LITTERS
(WHAT IS A DAILY DOGGIE WITHOUT BOOOBS OR SPERM OR STOOLS)
it is not what i would call the best time to have another litter... except it was the only opportunity to have another luna x bobby bunch..AND LUNA IS IN PERFECT HEALTH.
the last were great serv dogs.. bobby's bulk and luna's training
luna is an expert puppy trainer.
i am appreciating that---- as this chaos litter had a huge setback in cleanliness when we had to remove momma from pen so she cold heal without them hanging on to what as to have been very sore booobs.
CHAOS is now allowed back in the pen with supervision---she likes to lie on the sofa and watch them while keeping her midsection flAT AGAINST THE SOFA.
THIS AM - I OPENED UP THEIR PEN TO INCLUDE THE WHOLE KITCHEN WITHOUT FEEDING THEM --- AND THEY HAD A GOOD SESSION OF PLASTIC CUP CHASING (THOSE YOGURT CUPS ARE PERFECT.) AND HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP AGAIN.. PRAISES BE !!
*****************
STACY SENT US A SORELY NEEDED SUPPLY OF STUFF. PUPPY TOYS ETC..
***********************
AND CONFIGURATION WISE... THE BACK DECK IS NOW FOR THE 2 LITTERS DURING THE DAY.
OUR COLLECTION OF FENCING NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME.
I HAVE A PHD IN FENCING--
I TOOK A COURSE IN "ANIMAL SHIFTING" AT A LLAMA FARM.
A SYSTEM OF GATES MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO CLEAN AREAS WHILE NOT GETTING SMEARED UPON.
********************
AND WHILE ROBBIE DID A TERRIFFIC JOB REMOVING THE NUT HOUSE TO THE DUMPSTER--- I HAMMERED NEW DINING TABLES FOR OLIVE'S BUNCH.
THEY NOW HAVE TO STAND ON THEIR HIND LEGS TO REACH THE BOWLS
IT IS MY FIRST OPPORTUNITYU TO CHECK THE STABILITY AND FUNCTION OF THIER HIND LEGS.
JUST FEED THEM IN A ROW AND STAND BACK AND LOOK.
GEORGE WOULD DO XRAYS.
*******************
ANOTHER REMINDER -- WHENEVER YOU WALK BY ANY DOG AREA - GLANCE AT THE WATER PAILS /DISHES-
BIG ANIMAL HUSBANDRY RULE
ALL WATER DISHES MUST BE PLACED IN BEST/FULL VIEW OF ALL HUMAN TRAFFIC- SO EVERY TIME YOU PASS BY YOU CHECK THEM.
#1-- IS A BUCKET EVEN THERE
#2 --- IS IT FULL/CLEAN
WORSE CASE AS WE SHIFT ANIMALS AROUND BE SURE WATER BUCKETS ARE IN PLACE
***********************
STILL NO MEGAN--- MOLLY IS DOING A GREAT JOB-- SHE LOOKS COMICALLY TIRED AT THE END OF THE DAY-- DISCHEVELED IS A GOOD WORD-- BUT SHE IS GAME TO CONTINUE!!
MEGAN AND TROUPE ARE DUE TO LAND SUNDAY NIGHT
SO IS IRENE...
TO THAT END I AM GOING TO CALL CLEARSPAN TODAY AND SEE WHAT THEY ADVISE-- OPEN DOORS OR SHUT-- THAT LOVELY WHITE TOP WOULD MAKE ONE BIG SAIL.
MY BIGGEST FEAR IS TREES--- AND WE CAN NOT PREPARE FOR THAT---
LOOSING THE TOP WOULD BE ONE THING-- DENTING ALL THAT PIPE WOULD BE DEVASTATING.-
BUT WE'VE BEEN DEVASTATED BEFORE.
I HAD A FRIEND WHO WORKED ON THE OIL RIGS IN ALASKA AND HE SAID "WHAT MAN HAS PUT UP, GOD WILL TAKE DOWN"
ONE OF THESE "CLEARSPAN" BUILDINGS MADE IT THRU KATRINA- THERE WERE 2 IN THE AREA-- ONE TOP WAS LOST-PIPES OK-- THE OTHER SURVIVED 100%.
**********************
TODAY A MASSIVE COSTCO RUN FOR DOG AND PUPPY FOOD-- AND BOTTLED WATER.
WITH ENOUGH BUCKETS IN THE LIVING ROOM--- AND MY COLLECTION OF WET VACS... WE ARE AS READY AS WE CAN BE.
?SUNDAY STEW?? IRENE MAY HAVE AN EFFECT---- BUT IT WILL BE A SITUATION OF NEEDING HELP MANAGING THE DOGS WITH .. WHATEVER IRENE DELIVERS ....
THIS COULD BE A TOUGH ONE.
*************
FYI
TIL IRENE LEAVES, THE AMBULANCE WILL BE THE LUMBER STORAGE FACILITY.
***********************
REMEMBER ALL VEHICLES/ TRAILERS ARE EMERGENCY DOG HOUSES.
**********************
WE USED ONE YESTERDAY ----- AS I SAT WITH BOBBY I SAID TO KAREN " THAT IS NOT NOEL, IT IS JASPER-- IT HAS TESTICLES"
BOBBY AND JASPER HAD A VERY SIMPLE DISAGREEMENT WHICH THO NOISY AND MINIMAL BLOOD, WITH JANINE'S FEED SCOOP AND MY VERBAL SUGGESTIONS----THEY QUIT. I WAS SHOCKED.
ANOTHER ANIMAL HUSBANDRY RULE
ACCURACY IS CRITICAL WHEN HANDLING ANIMALS WITH TESTICLES
..........I BETTER LEAVE THAT ONE ALONE.
