Nov. 1, 2011


the purchase of puppy food-- clickon's --
 getting there--
 it is always encouraging when we have enough to pay the $500 winner----- and we have that- and a bit more--
now we are really paying the food bill.
 
you know the song from mary poppins   "feed the birds- 10 cents a bag"
well----  these aint birds and the food is not 10 cents a bag--- it is more like $23 a bag.
 
but they look good---

re:   merle's-- the grey with black---  a naturally occurring color that happens when you breed harlequins
 
back when i started with danes-- the merles were considered "junk" pups and i was told by several "show" breeders   the akc said to put them down at birth as "inferior-- the wrong color-- produce deaf pups"
which is why we name ours the wrong color--- brownie--- purple--teal---olive-- and yellow.
brownie and purple were exceptional dogs--- bailey quality...  so much for the akc
 
today i thought i should check on exactly what the akc had to say about merles because the animal rights people must have done something about that by now.
after google--- i found akc said... nothing--  like merles do not exist--
 
good morning akc--- deaf dogs are produced by the very desirable harlequin coat color too---
 
for the akc to ignore merles as inferior--- as many breeders  will tell you---
 is another case of "say it long enough and everyone will believe it"
 
with the last litter we are running out of crayola names--- so here is another
cerulean-- resembling blue of the sky
******************
 
there are many activities  i can not put in the dd anymore  because i have forgotten exactly who gets this fool thing. 
 
 i would hate to be jailed for remodeling the dog house without a permit.. 
after all---- we are skating o n thin ice about whether our chicken poo'ing is a raffle, bingo, or bazzar
 
i can see it now...madoff and me---

jody  arrives late Wednesday night from texas   --- straight to the guest house--- i don't know what she considers late--- with me it it anytime after supper.
 
i suppose the least confusing route from manchester airport is
 93 south  one or two exits to
114 east  few  miles to
rt 95 north
to exit 53A
east one and a half miles to
left on linebrook a half mile
#37 boxford rd...IN IPSWICH( there are many boxford roads around here)
 
there is a shorter way thru the woods
but those woods are dark and deep with miles to go before you sleep
 
jody is here for the board meeting on Thursday
is there anything  you all would like us to discuss??

from the list of donors--- every time i nag you all--- about 3 people per day go buy a brick
 
better step that up--- the sh#tting is sunday--- at the moment the odds of winning  are 1 in 100
if all the bricks are sold-- the max odds would be 1 in 350  which is still fantastic odds
now go click
