puppies are much better organized now....
5am procedure ( there are a couple of you who are actually using this nonsense as a puppy raising manual)
shove the 3 hats and adults out the front door anD shut it before they see it is raining.
set a big bowl puppy food soaking/with some canned and 2 glugs of pepto bismal
clean and towel the kitchen pen area
set out 7 NON TIPPABLE BOWLS/FOOD (ANOTHER HANGUP OF MINE TO BE DISCUSSED LATER)
SET OUT HANDFULL OF CARDBOARD SQUARES AND A COSTCO BUCKET LINED WITH GROCERY BAG
LET IN THE 7 CHAOS PUPS WHO WILL DASH FOR THE DISHES
SHUT THEM IN THE KITCHEN--
SET OUT TIPPABLE DISHES IN COSTCO BUCKETS /FOOD FOR "THE HATS"
LET IN THE FRON T DOOR BUNCH WHO ARE BY NOW --- WET AND VERY HAPPY TO GET IN. SO THEY CAN MOVE THEIR BOWELS ON THE VINYL FLOOR--( IT IS RAINING DANES DO NOT DO RAIN WILLINGLY)
CHAOS WILL JUMP IN WITH HER PUPS--- SHE IS VERY HAPPY TO HAV THEM WHERE SHE CAN PLAY WITH THEM--- AND HOPEFULLY TRAIN THEM A LITTLE BETTER.
THEY ARE LEARNING THE BASIC COMMANDS
GET AWAY
DON'T STEP IN IT
GET YOUR TOENAILS OFF MY LEG
DON'T STAND ON THE FENCE
DON'T CHEW AND SHAKE YOUR LITTERMATE
AND STOP FENCE FIGHTING WITH BENTLEY
SCRAWNEY HAZEL IS PERFECTLY ACTIVE-- EATING WELL BUT SLOWLY-- PREFERS THE MORE LIQUID FORM- AND NEEDS A BIT OF SPECIAL HANDLING -- THERE IS ONE BROTHER WHO IS TWICE HER SIZE--- WHO WOULD EAT THE BOWL IF HE COULD GET IT IN HIS MOUTH.
THERE ARE 4 BLACKS
SO HERE WE GO WITH THE NAME CALLING PROBLEM
I KNOW THE BLACK/WHITE FACE IS "ORDER" BUT THE OTHER 3 NEED TOENAIL POLISH OR SOMETHING.
FOR YOU NEWCOMERS .... THAT IS "ORDER" OUT OF "CHAOS"
AND THE TIPABLE BOWL PROBLEM
IF YOU SET OUT THE USUAL DOG DISH WITH HAPPY JUMPING PUPS, AND THEY STEP ON IT RIGHT, IT WILL SNAP UP AND HIT THEM IN THE FACE OR BREAK A LEG--- SO AROUND HERE....IF A DISH IS ON THE FLOOR, IT MUST BE THE WIDE BOTTOM VARIETY--- AND WE HAVE THEM.
THE USUAL DOG DISHES FIT PERFECTLY IN THE COSTCO BUCKETS--MAKING THEM RAISED( IF YOU LIKE THAT THEORY) OR EASIER TO PICK UP (MY NOTION)
SOME PEOPLE THINK THE RAISED DISHES PREVENT BLOAT-
TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE CAUSE OF BLOAT IS UNKNOWN....
BUT THE INTERNET IS A WONDERFUL DISPENSER OF RANDOM INFORMATION.
I REMEMBER......
THERE WAS AN INTERNET RUMOR THAT FABREEZE WOULD KILL A DOG- AND THAT FRIEND OF MINE WITH THE BLUE DOGS IN NEW YORK WAS/IS ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THAT IS TRUE.
I BOUGHT A CAN YESTERDAY
IT HASN'T KILLED ANY DOGS
IT ALSO HASN'T HELPED as an air freshner.
BUT THAT IS WHY FABREEZE ADS ALWAYS CONTAIN A DOG....
AT LEAST SO FAR.

wondering how karen is doing way down in new york--- i hear it is the monsoon season there?????

another report --- here is why we do this--
Good afternoon Carlene,
Hey is a trooper! Even with the rain he guided me across the parking lot to the automatic doors. We made it inside and then began the walk along the corridor to the elevator. We had students walking on both sides of us and Hey quickly learned the term "no sniff'". Elevator etiquette was perfect on both entering and exiting. Our next adventure was to go through the cafeteria at lunch time. Lots of voices, strange sounds and smells but he maintained his professional demeanor. He is a prominent fixture in my office and students and staff alike came to visit. All of them were polite and asked permission to pet him. When we are out and about, this request is not allowed as we are working. Leaving the building, students held doors for us even though they are automatic. A service dog brings out the chivalry in people. Arriving home, he had his lunch of a piece of cheese and then snoozed on the couch. Looking forward to more adventures with him.
WOOF
Hey, Gay and Jerry

TIMID DANE LOOKING TO THEIR OWNER FOR REASSURANCE IS A GOOD THING- AS IN BAILEY GETTING IN THE SHOPPING CART WITH THE WIRE BOTTOM.
MANY LAB/GOLDEN DOG TRAINERS DO NOT SEE THIS... AND REJECT DANES AS TOO FEARFUL.
AND THEN THERE IS TESS - WHO IS BOLDER-AND DOES NOT NEED ANYONE'S HELP-
AFTER AN HOUR IN COSTCO WITH HER --- MY SHOULDER THOUGHT TIMID WOULD BE ALOT BETTER.
THAT COA VAN IS WONDERFUL --- YESTERDAY 5 PEOPLE -- ON SEATS-- 4 DANES-- AND IT WAS PERFECT.
THE LEATHER DRIVERS SEAT NEEDS REPAIR--- AND WE HAVE A STITCHING AWL-- SO SOMEONE HAVE AT IT.
**********************
P.S THE STOOL REPORT--- HOW COULD I FORGET???
THE CHAOS PUPS--HAVE DRASTICALLY IMPROVED- WE DID GIVE THEM PEPTO... COTTAGE CHEESE... AND 1/8TH A FLAGYL IN THEIR DINNER LAST NIGHT. THERE WERE MOUNDS,... MOUNDS WITH CYLINDARS ,... AND 2 WITH CYLINDARS !!! ONLY ONE PANCAKE... PROBABLY HAZEL
