Oct. 27, 2011


time to remind everyone  to get their brick for the November dog food chicken poo raffle.. click at the end of this dd--- or the web--- BUT CLICK ON --
IT IS FUN TO READ DOWN THE LIST OF BRICK OWNERS
vaylu --- barney and hudson-- the hawk--- arrow --- etc   along with a few people  in this daily doggie  group..
*****************
i went down to remove the buckets for charlie and bobby's surgery today
which brings up the issue...
( here we go.... george....)
i don't understand why i have to roar around in my jammies -- the dark removing buckets so there is nothing in their tummy's for surgery when george gives them a shot to make them vomit anyway-  it seems it is so george can tell whether i am following directions.... i can not tell you the  number of time he and i have stood over a pile of yellow goo with one tiny piece of cheese... and he says " i thought you told me they had nothing to eat"
however --- we are ready--- lori will babysit her bobby and anne will sit with charlie.
hopefully i will get the unused  chimney down from the back room so we can get the pot belly going in the nut house.
-----winter is beginning to chase us-

paul gets the gold star for  putting in a very long day yesterday- and then stayed on to dog sit while tom and i went to dinner with  daughter #1--  and he said he would be back on shingle detail with jim today--  which is why i have to get the chimney down--- it is easier to install that  before the shingles go on-
fyi  -- for those of you intending to get into the commercial dog house building business...... "IT"  is an extremely expensive 3' stainless steel insulated stove pipe which we need to go thru the wooden roof.

ears seem to be totally up on yellow bentley and opal

 priscilla  decided she could stand having olive go thru 3 more heat cycles so we could plan on another litter in about a year and a half.
with so much concern on all the today and tomorrow projects, it is the kind of thing of which we need to track ---
olive is bobby's daughter-- and bobby is being neutered today.
maybe the proper terminology is  "priscilla decided not to spay her for a while-" then we can see what happens next.

yesterday a woman appeared in he driveway- "i am with the church group"-i thought theresa  had arrainged something---( theresa is our church department---) she  had not.  if i had , i forgot--- whatever....
so all of a sudden we had 20 wet elders--- with umbrellas--- and fortunately chairs-- in th eliving room-- here to hear about SDP-  megan was gone- pups were all over the living room-- so as theresa corralled pups and tried to keep these people from being mauled by the happy--- heavy danes--- i talked-
but the shining star was bailey--- in a moment of panic when i needed a demo--- i put a basket on the floor-- and quietly said " bailey would you please get me the basket"  she sedately walked over to it,,, carefull picked it up,, walked back to hand it to me- i said "thank you"  and she turned and went back to bed.--
not one step out of line--- a job to do and she quietly did it 
i was impressed with the professional attitude of bailey
made me realize how far we have to go with all these pups
*********************
weird thing of the day
daughter #1 - gwen and husband ron  -- think cooking is fun--they talked about the  veal cheeks he got fedex'ed from california.  i never heard of them-- but he described pieces of leather-- that you did things to and then baked for 5 hours and they blew up to4 times their origional size--- and were chewable 
i never heard of such a thing.
has anyone else???
