WHAT A GREAT SANTA-- AND ALL THAT WHITE BEARD IS REAL!



WE had a great stewing on all levels

many new faces---

lotsa loose dogs--( no dog fights)

marks music

barbara's hams--in addition to lotsa other food -- mostly eaten

****

and bud won the $500 -- it is always fun to have someone win who is actually here so we all can enjoy the fun..

***

bud 2 was here with family and indy--wants to work on visiting vets with indy-- we can do that...

****

annie--- #401 ---the first service dog i put out--- was here with melissa-- so we had 3 of that litter annie bella and lindsay-

***

with so many creative people in attendence it rolled !


the rest of the pictures---- in tabloo form ---will be forthcoming


and people coming to work here for the next few days do not need to bring lunch--- we have barbara's ham in sandwich form---

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


i am delighted jade and pistol are doing soooo well.

jade intends to walk across the stage to get her diploma in 2 weeks -- and i do not doubt she can do it


but i am a nervous wreck...


i am scared the audience will stand burst into applause at which time pistol--- who has only been with jade a very short time--- will decide it is a fire drill or some such----and bolt out the door- dragging jade with her.


but what do i know.


i figure jade is destined to make the front page one way or another-- it is a great thing that jade is so cheerful- she can handle either with a smile...

Pistol is doing so good! We are flip flopping between going at a walking pace and going 90 mph. We have the one step crawl nearly perfected. We went for a walk yesterday and the pace was ideal. I have taken her to a bunch of events with clapping and she is completely fine with that. Now I am going to bring her to some really crowded events and confirm that she can handle graduation. We have 2 weeks to practice but she is so eager to please I am confident she could do it tomorrow. :)

steve is due in the guest house to meet the dogs... today probably around noon 3.5 hour car ride to get here
*****************
today is recovery day


things like get the amish buggy back in the arena

and all those christmas packages--- we should be able to do something creative with them... they have that final touch barbara and crew puts on things--- silver bows etc

i get them wrapped in red paper with duct tape--- but these have the final touch...

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

puppys to the fairground--- things like that today


and........ we made $1400 on last months wall


GUESS WHAT?




AND FOR THOSE MATH TYPES--- SINCE WE SOLD 140 TICKETS --- THAT GAVE YOU A CHANCE ON 1 IN 140 ON WINNING THE $500


EVEN IF WE SELL ALL THE NUMBERS THE ODD WOULD BE 1 IN 350


STILL FAR BETTER THAN ANY OLD MASS LOTTERY !!!


(don't figure it is me nagging--- these dogs insist on a square meal !!)
