Nov 11, 2011

mark is a nocturnal pup--- i thought it was only cats that stayed up all night
 
the shreading of coffee cups is far superior to plastic bottles-- especially at 2am
the graB scoot and chase is a lot quieter with the coffee cups.
PLUS ----  SERIOUSLY--- THOSE TOPS COME OFF--- AND CAN BE TORN INTO SWALLOWABLE PIECES--- ESPECIALLY THE BLUE "SPORT TOPS.
 
BRIGHT PUP THO--- HE DISCOVERED IF HE PULLED ON THE PLASTIC BAG LINER OF THE RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES  THAT LOTS OF THEM POURED OUT ALL OVER THE KITCHEN (READ NOISY TILED ) FLOOR ENABLING HIM TO DESIGN HIS OWN PUPPY SOCCER GAME...
 
it's TIME HE GRADUATED TO THE ROOM WITH THE 3 HATS.. HIS SKIN  IS SLIGHTLY BETTER- I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE PILLS ETC--- OR JUST A DAILY BATH.
WE SHOULD WORK ON INTRODUCING HIM TO THOSE 3-- HE IS VERY USED TO SLEEPING ON TOP OF ANOTHER DOG-- LIKE MOMMY..
 
THE HATS ( YELLOW, BENTLEY AND OPAL) MAY NOT TAKE KINDLY TO THAT.
********************************************
THE NUT HOUSE HAS AN UNSULATED  DOOR--- I MADE IT SLIGHTLY TOO BIG AND WHEN SOMEONE IS HERE TO HELP, I CAN JUST SAW IT OFF TO FIT THE HOLE./
BEAUTY IS IN THE FUNCTIONALITY ...
************
AND THE WALLS-- ALL CUT AND lined up  REady to be screwed in place
hopefully by some volunteer sitting on a milk crate----
i have to comment--- for all those of you in the construction business-- these crazy stainless steel  screws ---that came with the polymax walls ---with square holes instead of "phillips head"  do not get my stamp of approval.
*******************
continuing with the daily venting
*****************
nor does the household vairety front loader washing machine get any gold stars.....-.  the commercial wascomat we use on the dogs is a wondrous thing.  ... but the maytag version for household use  does not cut the mustard.
 
if you inadvertently try and wash a turkish towell - there is just not enough water to get it wet -- just damp- so when i wash towels i have to add another gallon by pouring it  in the little hole on the top and pray the rinse and dryer get the soap out.
***************back to the dogs
 
megan took pink and teal home for an overnight- to try and get pink to pay a bit more attention to her surroundings.
 poor teal--- he is beautiful--- but he looks like a girl.-- he also has a white coloration in his eyes  --- perfectly normal- especially in harlequin danes---which unfortumately looks like exudate from an eye infection--  i am constantly checking only to find it is his normal coloring.
 
and colleen says bobby is absolutrely no problem at home or work-- except he can not  figure out why he is there-
looking back.... he has not done much car travel-- and his last 2 experiences going to georges might have made some impression---even with anesthesia.
colleen "reads" a dog very well...
after years in the grooming business she has the insight not found in generic dog owners.
she is as good as cesar at describing how a dog feels about things--- like bathtubs and water.  cesar was a groomer too.

hi carlene
I just wanted to get your permission before I contact "Santa Frank" to have him appear the 1st Sunday next month as Santa Claus for the Chicken @#$% BINGO.  We can do some photo opps with him and the dogs.  Of course if anyone wants to have their children photographed etc.  I will contact him and see if he is available.  I will also take care of his compensation for the day.  What do you think?

Here is the link to the photos of Frank from last year's Christmas party:

now that is a good looking santa
 i say that from experience of  20 years of driving 8 donkeys with antlers into Boston's best  hotel ball rooms with inebriated santas that photographed best only from a distance.
 
of course i think it is a great idea to have him at the December sh#tting
 
which should remind you all--- click away--- the December puppy food wall is "out there" ready.
along those lines--- cnn had a story- from australia with the typical cow plop bingo   and  the cow did not plop
 
along with driving donkeys- as animal episodes,--- i provided shampoooed cows for several boston plops-- and i don't think one of them ever plopped
 
i realize i should not tempt fate- but we have a much better success rate
with considerable lower overhead...
 
is that a marketable fact???? pooing is better than plopping???
now go click
