2 QUICK UNCONNECTED STORIES
IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS WE HAVE HAD 2 VETERANS COME HERE - AND WHEN THE DETAILS WERE CLEAR---- THEY WERE DEPLOYED IN IRAQ AND WHEN THEY CAME BACK THEIR WIVES DIVORCED THEM
AND THE WIFE GOT TO KEEP THEIR DOG IN BOTH CASES IT WAS A DANE---
CERTAINLY DID NOT HELP THEIR PTSD.
******
AND
WHY USE DANES??
THE GUY IN THE WHEELCHAIR- AT A CONVENTION--- WITH A SMALL WHITE POODLE IN HIS LAP.--- I HAD A DANE WITH ME---
HE CAME OVER AND SAID "FIRST THEY BLOW MY LEGS OFF ME--- AND THEN THEY GIVE ME THIS DAINTY LADIES FOO FOO- I WANT A DOG LIKE YOURS."
**************
I TOLD YOU THEY WERE DISCONNECTED STORIES

PUPS....
FOR SOME REASON VANILLA SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE KITCHEN-- WITH THE 2 LUMPY DOGS ---HILLARY THOUGHT SHE WAS MOVING A LITTLE SLOWLY-- I SAW NO SIGN OF THAT WHEN SHE TACKLED STANLEY---
THE LUMPS LOOK A BIT BETTER-- NOT GONE-- BUT BETTER--
********************
SHE FELL RIGHT IN WITH THE EARLY MORNING OUT TO PEE AND COME BACK TO BED FOR A COOKIE...
I DO NOT MEAN TO IMPLY THAT SHE DID NOT RELIEVE HERSELF AT ANY OTHER TIME---
WE NEED NEWSPAPERS LEFT IS CERTAIN PLACES IN THIS HOUSE WHERE THE FLOOR TIPS IN AN UNPLANNED DIRECTION... NAMELY IN FRONT OF THE OVERFLOW ROOM AND FRIGE...
NEXT HOUSE I BUILD WILL HAVE A PLANNED TIP
MAYBE NOT AS TIPPY AS THE NUT HOUSE- WHERE YOU CAN BARELY SET YOUR COFFEE DOWN ON THE FLOOR.
SOMEONE SUGGESTED ALL WE NEED ARE MIRRORS FOR A REAL DIZZY SPELL.
************
JACKY AND HUSBAND MARK WERE AROUND YESTERDAY TO NEARLY FINISH THE SECOND LAYER OF PLYWOOD FLOOR..
MARK HAD A VERY DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION METHOD. HE MEASURES THEN KNOWS IT WILL FIT.. ------I SAW AND WAIT WITH GREAT ANTICIPATION TO SEE IF IT FITS.,
************
AT ANY RATE WE ARE READY TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE FLASHING BETWEEN WALL AND FLOOR
FYI---- THAT NICE TIGHT ROLL OF METAL FALSHING IS VICIOUS ---
CUT THOSE RESTRICTING TAPES AND THE ROLL UNWINDS IN A SPECTACULAR FASHION--- WITH IT'S SHARP EDGES...
A LEARNING PROCESS
********************
STEWING TODAY--
TODAY IS IN PREP FOR CRAZY HAT DAY --- NEXT SUNDAY--- EARLY SANDY AND THERESA HAVE ALOT PLANNED-
I KNOW BECAUSE 2 HUGE BOXES OF DONATED POTATO CHIPS HAVE ARRIVED---
ALL I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR IS AN IMPROMPTU $100 CHICKEN RAFFLE JUST FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO PAY $10 TO COME IN AND HAVE A HOT DOG
that is not to be confused with the on going puppy food raffle - i hope it may prove to be an introduction to the monthly online raffle.
************
IT IS WONDERFUL TO HAVE PEOPLE COME PLAY WITH THESE PUPS-- SO I CAN DEAL WITH HAMMERS AND NAILS...
I HAVE A NASTY FEELING WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET MANY MORE DAYS LIKE THIS--- AND WE BETTER GET THE NUT HOUSE WEATHERPROOF.
there are a lot of pups to keep warm.
reminder--- go do the online thing --- we are slightly behind statistics for November's "pooing"
