Sept. 22, 2011


ONLY DOG NEWS IS LUNA IS DUE FOR A CLEANING OUT AT NOON TODAY- AS GEORGE POINTS OUT-- SHE IS NOT AN IDEAL SURGICAL CANDIDATE. NOT YOUNG--- TOO FAT-- WITH DECOMPOSING PUPS IN HER.


I THINK WE ARE ORGANIZED.. PAUL IS ON DECK TO GET HER THERE IF I AM HELD UP AT A DR APT.

LORI IS SETTING UP THE INTENSIVE CARE AREA HERE (KITCHEN).

************************

1/3 THE ROOF IS TACKED ON THE DOG HOUSE.. I AM NOT SURE WHY WE DON'T SET UP SAWHORSES AND PAINT THE T-111 BEFOR WE PUT IT ON THE BUILDING.

CAN WE HAVE A PAINT COMMITTEE?? AND USE THE ARENA??


GREG SAID HE WOULD HELP NAIL TOMORROW-- BECAUSE ANYTHING I DO HAS ONLY ONE NAIL HOLDING IT WHILE IT WAITS FOR SOME STRONG ARM TO ADD NAILS.

HERE'S THE TESS REPORT..


Hi Gang, Just touching base. Tess and I are doing fine. Went shopping again Tuesday and Today. She's really falling into the swing of things around here. Today was supper market and to town hall to get Her license, She was stoked until She found out She couldn't drive.
After reading the doggie daily's I figured I'd better talk poop! Monday Tess's was loose, however I figured I'd give it a day or two as She had the 3&1/2 hour trip home and different surroundings. Tuesday morn it was a bit firmer and Tuesday night and today it was just fine or nice and firm in the parlance of poop. I told her it happens sometimes the stress of stuff and all it even happens to us humans. Wow my first email with poop in it I feel like I blend now lol, Talk to you all later. Sincerely Al & Tess

THIS IS NOT DOG RELATED BUT MAYBE SOMEONE KNOWS SOMEONE............
GWEN ( DAUGHTER) CALLS AT 5AM FOR A CATCH UP--- AND WE HAVE JUST HAD ABOUT AN HOUR OF THE PERILS OF TRYING TO HIRE HELP.
SHE WORKS SOMEWHERE OUT BY WORCESTER IN A SENIOR CARE FACILITY AND IS DESPARATE FOR HELP. SHE TALKS OF A "BLIZZARD" OF APPLICATIONS WHEN SHE RUNS AN AD- ONLY TO HAVE THEM JUST NOT WORK OUT FOR AN AMUSING VARIETY OF REASONS..
THE POSITION IS FOR SOMEONE COMPUTER SAVVY ENOUGH TO UNSTICK PRINTERS- CHANGE INK CARTRIDGES AND TURN ON TV'S FOR OLDER PEOPLE- AT ABOUT $20 PER HOUR.

SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE WOULD WANT THAT JOB.

ANYBODY KNOW ANYONE???


RE: EMPLOYMENT IN GENERAL-- HER BIGGESWT PROBLEM WITH EMPLOYEES IS RELIABILITY-

I HAD A SOLUTION FOR THAT WHEN I DID THE WANT AD MAGAZINE-- I HIRED HORSE OWNERS-- THEY GET OUT IN ALL WEATHER--- AND TO WHITTLE THAT DOWN IN GENERIC TERMS HAVING TO TAKE CARE OF AN ANIMAL AS A KID INSTILLS RELIABILITY. MY 1/2 THE WANT AD DELIVERY SYSTEM HAD FANTASTIC RELAIBILITY COMPARED TO THE "MAIN OFFICE" THEY WORSHIPED MY STATS... AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS HORSE OWNERSHIP.


SHE SAID HER BEST WORKERS HAVE BEEN MILITARY---


THERE IS A RELIABILITY FACTOR MISSING IN OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM.

I THINK THE ONLY THING I LEARNED AT COLLEGE IS THAT THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A DEADLINE.

LET US HOPE LUNA COMES THRU THIS WITH FLYING COLORS..
