in my professional opinion... moxie will deliver thursday- she 
is extremely comfortable and lying on the sofa snoring... but she has to do 
something soon...
meanwhile chaos tribe is up and walking-- they -- and chaos-- 
are getting to the point where we could ease off on the 24 hr surveillance--- 
except for the camera..
connors mother sat with her last night-- and i had to re-start 
the camera only twice-- so i got some sleep - problem was moxie seemed to think 
i should  stay with her... so i slept in the chair-- which i can do pretty 
well-- that allowed me to observe her casual nesting--- nothing really serious 
yet.
having declared that ,,,, she will now have 6 pups by noon ( i 
don't really  think so)
there is an awful lot going on in this house--- and it is 
getting full-- there are things like...  the extension cord  that could go from 
the generator to the big freezer in the cellar-- winds around the kitchen sink 
and goes down cellar thru the  hole made by last  winter's  resident rat .. 
gisselle
yesterday 4 of our very competent youngsters fed all the 
dogs-- did a fine job-- the fact that an empty soda bottle was  on the floor in 
the bathroom  is incidental..
there is a collection of current projects on nearly ever 
square foot of this place
my organized battery collection has been disrupted by a bunch 
of paperwork AND THE DRYED  ALFALFA
we are nearly to TILT--  today we must  take an hour and get 
back to some degree of organization.
there is just soooo much going on.
trying to LOCATE A BATTERY ... I  DISLODGED 3 BOXES OF  STUFF 
SOMEONE GAVE ME TO CURE WHATEVER AILS THE DOGS-- I HADN'T USED IT YET--I HAD NOT 
EVEN READ THE INGREDIENTS..  WELL I HAVE NOW  -- IT IS DEHYDRATED ALFALFA AND 
SWEET POTATOES....
 I OFTEN WONDER HOW PEOPLE DISCOVER THINGS-- LIKE ASPRIN COMES 
FROM THE BARK OF SOME TREE.... WELL---- WHO HAD A HEADACHE SO BAD THAT THEY 
STARTED KNAWING ON A TREE.
OR IN THIS CASE   WHO DISCOVERED ITF YOU GROUND UP ALFALFA AND 
SWEET POTATOES AND PUT IT IN A LITTLE YELLOW BOX... SOMEONE WOULD BUY 
IT.
MAYBE THE PERSON WHO WATCHED DOGS EATING MARY 
POO---
AT ANY RATE  I DECIDED TO USE IT SO I COULD GET TO MY 
BATTERIES.
THE WHOLE HOUSE IS LIKE THAT --- FULL OF SOONERS AND 
LATERS
*********************
BECAUSE OF THE STORM-- MEGAN OPENED KENNEL 9 TO THE PUPS-- I 
REALLY SHOULD GO DOWN AND SEE IF WE COULD ARRAINGE IT SO THEY COULD HAVE THAT 
4X8 RAISED AREA AS SLEEPING ROOM AND STILL HAVE CAMERA ACCESS TO 
IT.
THIS EXPLORE.ORG HAS CERTAINLY WIDENED OUR HORRIZONS-- AND 
DONOR FIELD-- BUT IT IS NOT WITHOUT EFFORT.. I AM TRYING NOT TO WEAR OUT OUR 
VOLUNTEERS AND HOPE TO GET SOME AGREEMENT WITH EXPLORE ABOUT DEALING WITH THE 
EXTRA EFFORT THE CAMERAS INVOLVE..   LIKE MY SLEEP.
AT LEAST I AM NOT GOING TO LOOSE SLEEP OVER THE OIL BILL FOR 
NOVEMBER--- THE "CAMERA PEOPLE" HAVE CHIPPED IN VERY NICELY AND WE CAN APPORACH 
WINTER WITH FULL TANKS.. I CAN SEE THE POSSIBILITIES -- SO WE WILL CERTAINLY 
HANG IN THERE.
IT IS THE DRYED ALFALFA CONCEPT WE MUST ADDRESS 
TODAY.
JUST THE CONTENTS OF MY DESK COULD TAKE ABOUT 2 HOURS TO 
RESOLVE.
SO I BEST HAVE AT IT.
