CAROL CALLED HAWKEYE IS DOING FINE-- I ASKED HER TO WRITE UP
THE EPISODE AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE ABOUT BLOAT... FOR ME TO COPYY AND
PASTE.
*****************
I WAS BEGINNING TO WORRY About having nothing to write in this
fool DD\\
and then yesterday happened
megan and i set out to buy/ get estimalte on the chain link
for "the house that jack built" aka new deagle house. i googled and
called -- got an estimate from ne fence -- and googled again for address--
same GOOGLE
different result----- the fence company in woburn was not
the one to make these things up-- they install--and charge for that - THE PHONE
# I GOT WAS SAUGUS---
lesson of the day --- installing panels of chain link takes 2
bolts per 2 panels-- and if you can't do that--- you should not be buying dog
pannels because the dogs will outsmart you.
so we went to saugus -- pannels will be ready on friday---(
that day when very many of us will be dragging around from being up aoll night
getting back from the toh gala at about 2am... )
and as i handed the man the credit card-- megan's phone rang
-- theresa had a man with a big truck and pallets of dog food refusing to drive
up the driveway
FREE FOOD !!
I SAID DON'T LET THAT MAN GO- GRABBED MY CREDIT CARD FROM THE
FENCE GUY AND RAN FOR THE DOOR. MEGAN HAD THE VAN HEADED FOR THE
HIGHWAY
WE GOT HIM ON THE PHONE AND I TOLD HIM WE HAD 53' TRAILERS IN
THERE ALL THE TIME( ONE BEING THE ONE I DROVE IN MY ANIMAL EPISODE LIFE) HE
WAS WORRIED - APPARENTLY A FACT IF HE GETS STUCK IT IS A $500 TOW FEE- FOR A
PALLET OF FREE FOOD I SAID I WOULD RISK IT..-- AND IF HE WOULD WORK THE
GEARSHIFT LEVER, I WOULD DRIVE IT OUT. HE SAID HE FIGUERED IF I KNEW ABOUT
THE NUMBER 53' TRAILERS, I MUST KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
WHAT I DID NOT TELL HIM WAS SEVERAL 53' TRAILERS HAVE SLID OFF
THE HILL AND GOT STUCK TRYING TO GET IN THE GATE-- AND ONE WE HAD TO GET
MASTERSON'S HUGE MACHINE TO GET HIM BACK ON THE DRIVEWAY.
MEGAN DROVE MUCH TOO FAST-- I WORRIED.. THERESA AND JACKIE
HAD NEVER ARGUED WITH THAT ELECTRIC GATE- AND I KNEW PAUL WOULD BE UPSET IF WE
CRASHED HIS LOVELY GATE JOB.
LUCKILY-- RAY HAPPENED TO BE HERE -- HE -- RAY-- BOUGHT THE
BMW- AND HAD 50 POUNDS OF HOT DOGS TO GIVE US..( HE IS KAYEM PRES/OWNER?) RAY
WAS USED TO THINGS LIKE BIG TRUCKS SO HIS ADVICE WAS VALUABLE=
SO WHEN WE FLEW IN THE DRIVEWAY THEY WERE UNLOADING IT ALL
INTO T HE AMBULANCE.. BAGS IF DRY AND CANS---- LOTSA CANS---
WE WAVED GOODBYE TIO THE NICE FEDEX MAN-- AND I RAN FOR THE
TRACTOR TO UNLOAD SOME OF IT BECAUSE THE AMBU WAS SITTING ON THE AXLES-- SO
HEAVY THE SPRINGS HAD QUIT... BUT WE GOT IT TRANSFRERRED BEFORE ANYTHING
BROKE.
ALL THOSE HOT DOGS ARE FIRST RATE PEOPLE QUALITY NOW FROZEN
IN ONE LUMP-- THAT CAN BE CAMERA MARKS PROBLEM.
AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING....
WE STILL NEEDED TO GO TO HOME DEPOT TO GET THE WIRE SHELVING
FOR TOMORROW'S TRIP TO NY WITH THE PUPS--, ORDER 2 VANS FROM ENTERPRISE, CHECK
EVERYBODY'S RABIES PAPERWORK, FIND THE FLOOR TARP .. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET
THE ROVING CAMERA CONNECTED TO JOHNATHAN --- IN PREP FOR THE EXPLORE
BROADCAST OF THE IMPENDING BIRTH...
AND THINGS LIKE THAT
*******
HAVING STASHED LULU ON THE DECK--- I DID NOT REALIZE SOMEONE
HAD LEFT A PLASTIC BAG OUT THERE WITH A HUGE PILLOW FILLED WITH BEAUTIFUL WHITE
FEATHERS--
SHE FOUND THAT VERY ENTERTAINING-- I CAN NOT DESCRIBE IT
EXCEPT TO SAY THE FEW I DID MANAGE TO COLLECT FILLED A HUGE BLACK TRASH BAG---
THE REST ?? I CARRIED OUT THE DOOR IN MY HAIR AND STUCK IN MY
NOSE...
*****
I CUT BEEF FOR THE DAY , FELL INTO BED( MAKE THAT CHAIR) AND
CHAOS STARTED "NESTING" IT HAS TO BE ONLY A TRIAL NESTING.. IT IS STILL A FEW
DAYS EARLY... WE THINK...
KNOWING HOW DEVASTATING A BIRTH CAN BE ON SOMETHING LIKE A
FUTON,,, WE HAVE 2 FUTONS STORED IN PREP FOR "AFTER" BECAUSE CHAOS IS HAVING
NOT ONLY PUPS BUT A GALLON OR TWO OF GOOP-- THE KIND WHICH YOU DON'T TRY TO
WASH THE TOWELS-- YOU THROW THEM OUT.
TWO EXTRA FUTONS -PILED HIGH ON TABLES ETC -- LOOKS STRANGE
BUT WE HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE- THEY WILL BE NEEDED.
*********
SCHEDULE FOR TODAY?
PILE EQUIPMENT FOR THE TRIP TO NY-- WE CAN'T PICK UP HT E VANS
TIL MORNING TO GET THE CHEAP DAILY RATE...
MEET WITH KITTY ABOUT THE CALENDAR AND FIGURE OUT TH EEXTRA
LITTLE SQUARES EVERY MONTH-- LIKE... NEXT MARCH STARTS ON A FRIDAY AND ENDS ON
A SUNDAY-- THINK HOW THAT FITS WITH LITTLE SQUARES...
WE WANT TO USE SOME OF THOSE SQUARES FOR SERVICE DOG
INFO/PICTURES..
THE CHRISTMAS SANTA SHOT IS BEAUTIFUL-- AND PERRY AS RUDOLPY
WITH THE RED NOSE IS PRICELESS
***********
I MUST GET THIS "ROVING " CAMERA CONNECTED TO JOHNATHAN AT
1:00-- IT WILL NOT BE BROADCAST-- THIS IS JUST A TRIAL RUN AT FILMING
CHAOS
BOY I HOPE ALL GOES WEL WITH CHAOS...L...
************
WE GOT AN EMAIL FROM BUD 1 - HE IS COMING TO WATCH EARLINE AND
PAUL WATCH CHAOS WHILE I AM ON THE NEW YORK TRIP.
*****
BUD 2 IS-- I THINK COMING TODAY-- THERE WAS A COMPLICATED
PROBLEM WITH WORDS LIKE "TODAY" AND "TOMORROW" IF HE EMAILED THAT AT
12:10AM-- JUST WHICH DAY IS TOMORROW?
SUCH PROBLEMS
BUT WE GO ON.
