Dec 4, 2011


by all rumors mark and barbara have a bunch of food--- sounds good


and Mary's friend "AUNTIE" is said to have 3 deserts and 10 pounds of carrots


what more could we need????

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

for openers--- i think we should move the table eastward away from mary's nose-- at least once every Sunday she catches us not paying attention to her and she grabs the tablecloth as we all scream at her.

she waits for the diversion.. i can just hear her"here come those cute puppies--- and everyone will look at them so i can grab all the plasticware and get them to chase me to the barn."

****

i saw a tv show on pickpockets--- and all i could see was MARY's 4 steps.

1 wait for everything to look quiet and normal

2 create a diversion

3 grab the goods

4 run like hell.


happens every week

so much for comparative IQ's

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

kieth called... hudson had stopped jumping in his truck- in pain somehow---


now if i say that to 99% of dog owners---

they would say "dane hips are bad...--- dysplasia nothing you can do..."


luckily kieth did not go that road--

i don't know why he is better---

but a couple days on doxycycline

and a break in roughhousing with barney

and he is better... so it was either lyme or barney

or to be more correct-- could be neither but you certainly should not assume the statistically more probable of dysplastic hips.


i don't want to tempt fate--- but .....

***********

danes have sooooo many bad reputations-

sometimes it is comical


i listened to some guy tell me they got a cute little dane pup--- "it was so sweet-- it would jump up and put his feet on my shoulders and lick my face--- but eventually we couldn't handle him--- danes get too strong"


GOOD MORNING !!!

i wonder what his kids are like????

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

often when people see me in costco-- they offer me their grandchildren to get trained as well as the dog i have with me..


i turn that down....

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

busy day

get mary dressed in her pack saddle and faux xmas gifts ( will take many carrots to get that done)


put the chicken sh#tting together YOU HAVE TIL 2:30 TO BUY A NUMBER

2:30 is when i get the numbers off the computer.... and add any that we have sold here--- then number the table. and apply the chickens at 3:00.

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

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

tom has got off cycle-- he got up at 1:30 yesterday morning--- and went to bed at 4:00pm last night--

currently dressed and waiting for a ride to breakfast with nancy and george #2.

**********

so i willl go try and get the kennel partitions up.


i need help tightening them--- but that can be done after they are standing.

***
