Nov. 18, 2011


thanks to AOL , computers and other terrorists-- i had about a dozen emails in my spam folder that did not belong there.
 
i will flip thru it more often now... if you are writing to  me use "dogs"   as the subject- regardless-- so i can spot the emails
 
and if any of you want off this daily doggie list -- just let me know...
it terrifies me that all of you might actually  read this.
*************
************
RECORDS  AND MEMORY STUFF--
 
 we do talk... megan colleen and i--  and we go over problems dog ARE HAVING. AND HOW TO ADDRESS THEM.
 
WE NEED A QUICKER MEANS OF COMMUNICATION ABOUT TRAINING--- MEGAN AND COLLEEN ARE LIKE SHIPS THAT Pass in the night-  they slide silently past each other 3 days a week.
 
I SUGGESTED IF THEY hAVE ANYTHING UNUSAL THAT THEY PUT IT ON A POST IT NOTE AND STICK IT QUICKLY IN THE PROPER LOOSE LEAF-- POLLY CAN EVENTUALLY STRAIGHTEN THE NOTES OUT.
 
************************
 
AND MY BIGGEST PROBLEM---  GIGI---  TRYING TO GET HER TO RELAX IN THE HOUSE IN PREP FOR HER "CONFINEMENT"
SHE WAS ASLEEP ON THE COUCH-- AND I WANTED HER TO GO OUT BEFORE I WENT TO BED.
 
SHE DID GO OUT--- IT HAD NOT OCCURRED TO ME THAT SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE SEEN A FLASHILGHT BEFORE ..  SHE WANDERED DECISEVILY TO THE BARN--- AND ONLY MY VAST EXPERIENCE WITH LOOSE ANIMALS-(4h kids)  I WAS ABLE TO HERD HER IN THE BARN--- THEN THE ALLEWAY-- THEN #8 STALL-- WHICH IS OUR GERIACTRIC STALL WITH THE GENTLY SLOPING RAMP TO THE SLEEPING LOFT. 
 I LEFT HER  THERE..
STRONG DOG--- NO WAY COULD I HAVE HELD HER-
A SCARED DANE IS A SCARED DANE
AND SHE IS BIG-
THAT CHEST IS 15" WIDE BY ACTUAL MEASUREMENT.
 
MEGAN  YOU HAVE SOME WORK TO DO THERE.....  WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE HER RUNNING AROUND THE YARD DROPPING PUPS HERE AND THERE BECAUSE SHE IS SCARED...
 
CALL CHEESE  ROPE-- PREFERABLY IN THE DARK WITH A FLASHLIGHT
IT IS CALLED  "PLAN  AHEAD"
*****************
TODAY
 
we forgot to ask george yesterday  what to do if Tucker ate 1/4 a bottle of liver flavored dog vitamins.. seeing as it is too late now---
 we will have to assume"     what gets down will get out  "  hopefully
*****************
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A STOVE LIGHTING CEREMONY TODAY --  THE PIPE IS IN... THAT TINY DREMMEL SAW IS A WONDERFUL THING...... SO FAR..... AND POWERFUL ENOUGH FOR ANYTHNG I WILL DO. 
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GIFT ITEM--
 
AND FACED WITH 2 DEAD DRILLS- I WENT AND BROUGHT ANOTHER $29   EL CHEAPO DRILL.
******************
PLAN IS TO HANG THE CHAIN LINK FRAMES FROM THE RAFTERS TO PLAN IN A DIDACTIC MANNER. 
MAYBE Add A LITTLE CARDBOARD and duct tape for a good look
***********
and the dogs can have access to it from nut hill today if it turns cold. 
probably the house dogs  bailey luna ---yellow opal and bently
 
should add    pi   she needs people handling...
