finally the house is organized--the count?
lets see-- in the tv 12 x 20 room we have 18 danes 2
recliners 2 sofas 2 ropes to stabilize as you walk around---the tv--- a table
for the laundry... and the explore.org camera
so the rest of the house is fairly normal-- 5 house dogs with
me in the "office" - with an in/out to the deck and back room/dog dorm. bailey
is sooooo pleased to be on the sofa in the house again...
because bently is now in here-- i had to place the cardboard
around the corners of the bookcases-- other dogs come and go in this "office
area" AND HE WANTS EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS HIS HOME TURF. SO HE FEELS
IT NECESSARY TO "MARK" ANY CORNER IN THE ROOM... IT IS AMAZING WHAT A DANE Can
do to a simple bookcase if you don't have it encircled with refrigerator
carton.
he is tall and struggles TO HAve every passing dog be
impressed with his height and aim.
maKES YOU BELIEVE IN NEUTERING.

maria came last night so i had time to get ready for
chair....( one of the recliners..) it wasn't too bad--- both recliners are
lined up so you can see both litters..and as long as the moms are lying down--
it is possible to sleep/nap. chaos is very vocal about her needs-- moxie is
quiet so i narrowed the space around my chair so she had to brush into it when
she got up and wandered.
educational statistic--- chaos went thru 2.5 gallons of water
overnight--- in 3 drinking sessions-- she is a very slow drinker-- so each
session took a while to take on the water to feed these children-- who are
beginning to look and act like puppies.
i have one comment about moxie's litter, she is having
trouble collecting them. she does not have th e knack of breathing in their
direction to call them back so when one crys and is lost i have been
picking them up and returning them--- i wonder if too much supervision is a
good thing- i will try putting them back within reach of her breath-- not
returning them to a nipple-
this whole process is a delicate thing-- they need help...
but not too much help
****
i am not happy with the arrangement of the fluffies..
currently the entire pen is fluffy-- and it needs to have a non fluffy area to
encourage the development of a rest room area,
***************
i am not really delighted to have an extra hour--- i am
looking forward to having all the volunteers arrive and take over this puppy
monitoring..
i spent soo o much time indoors lately that i missed running
around in the rain- and i am told we had some lovely mistY days-
but it did give me a chance to get organized for the 2
sh#ttings today..-
since you really need to know these
things..
we have some more of the old vinyl floor of 3"squares .. 4
squares PER FOOT......
there will be a test on this so pay attention,,,,
i like to enter each number at least twice in random placement
so no one gets stuck in a corner
and if we have our table 8'square
---- 8 x 4 =32 32x32=1024 which would allow
is to double a 500 number game... which is what the oil board
is...
dry eraser's lie--- they do not erase-- so we have opted to go
with little 3/4 inch dots
simple thing??/ avery has them and a template software to hit
the dots... right ... at $8.49 for 80 dots
so that was out.. and i went TO ULINE CATALOG--- THEY HAD
10,000 DOTS ON SHEETS FOR THE PRINTER FOR $30
THE BAD THING? NO TEMPLATE THAT I COULD FIND... SO I STARTED
IN WITH A SPREADSHEET-- AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS I GOT 500 NUMBERS printed ON
500 LITTLE DOTS. THESE ARE ALSO PERMANT GLUE-- SO WE CAN PILE THEM UP AND CUT
THEM OFF WITH A RAZOR ONCE A YEAR..... (AFTER COLOR CODING THEM---
RIGHT)
WHICH ARE NOW PRINTED IN PREP FOR RUNNING 2
BOARDS
I THEN HAD TO DO A CHART.... IF WE SELL 314 NUMBERS HOW MANY
TIMES CAN I ENTER THEM ON THE BOARD AND WHAT SIZE SQUARE THE ANSWER IS 3
TIMES PER NUMBER ON A 31X31 SQUARE
AND YOU THOUGHT DOG TRAINING WAS EASY...
***************
WE HAVE ALSO STARTED A WISH LIST-- NOW THAT WE HAVE SUPPORT
FROM ALL THESE CAMERA PEOPLE-- AND MEGAN HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH--
ANOTHER WASHING MACHINE-- COULD BE--- IN THE FEED ROOM... THERE IS A GOOD DRY
WELL THERE-- AND ROOM FOR MORE DRY WELL IF NEEDED.
THEN IT IS ABOUT A DRYER-- BUYING ONE IS ONE THING--- PAYING
THE ELECTRIC BILL TO RUN IT IS ANOTHER.. SO THAT IS ON HOLD---
BUT I LIKE THE WASHER IDEA... MAYBE WE COULD RUN A memsaic
wall FOR A WASHER??? THAT WASCOMAT COMMERCIAL WASHER we have was $3500 usED
AND $450 TO INSTALL IT ( in concrete) it has been worth every penny, i bought
that on the advice of a launrymatt owner..
i think the oil bill is set til january... so maybe a second
washer would be another "wall"
**************
]we hope have the sh#tting live on tv-- and theresa says this
is the link
I HOPE!!!!
remember we are professional sh#tters not profesional camera types... we will try
********************
i will now go back to chair to enjoy my extra hour
