HAVING ADDRESSED THE PERRY PROBLEM YESTERDAY, I WILL NOW GET INTO A REALLY
DANGEROUS DISCUSSION.
IT IS ABOUT POO.- AND THE COLLECTION THEREOF.
IN YESTERDAYS WALKAROUND I ZEROED IN ON A TIDY PUPPY PILE OF POO AND NOT
ONE OF YOU QUESTIONED ABOUT THE SEQUEL TO THE PRODUCTION...
THIS S A VERY SERIOUS DISCUSSION.....ON A TOPIC ON WHICH I CONSIDER MYSELF
AN EXPERT.
YOU SAW ONE LITTLE 1/3 CUP PILE- SOUROUNDED BY 16 PUPS WHO PRODUCE AT LEAST
5 OF THOSE PILES DAILY- BOTH AT CONVENIENT AND INCONVENIENT TIMES
AT THE CONVENIENT TIMES, WE REMOVE THE PILE BY THE SCRAPE, LIFT, AND
DEPOSIT METHOD- WITH 2 PIECES OF CARDBOARD.-- OR THERE ARE A VERY FEW.... ON
THE GRASS----WHERE WE GRAB AND INVERT THE GROCERY BAG...
NOW BECAUSE OF THE GENEROUSITY OF ALL THE CAMERA PEOPLE COMBINED WITH THE
RELAIBLITY OF THE UPS TRUDK WE HAVE A LARGE SUPPLY OF CAREFULLY CUT BROWN BOX
TYPE CARDBOARD.
PERSONALLY, I KNOW THAT THICK CARDBOARD WORKS ADEQUATELY -- AND A SIDEWAYS
SWIPE OF THE CARDBOARD OFTEN SAVES THE ADDITION OF A PAPERTOWEL ON THE INDOOR
PILES. BUT THE CADILAC OF POO PICKING IS THE CEREAL BOX CARDBOARD.... CAREFULLY
CUT INTO RECTANGLES 3" X 6" ( AND INDEX CARDS ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE-- TOO
FLABBY)
I HAVE STUDIED THE SIZE--- IT IS VERY SPECIFIC 3" WILL FIT IN MOST BLUE
JEANS BACK POCKET, AND 6" WILL ACCOMODATE BOTH PUPS AND THE ADULT DOGS... WE
HAVE 30 ISH ADULTS COMING AND GOING.
FOR THOSE ADULTS- INCLUDING THOSE IN TRAINING- WE MUST BE PREPARED FOR AN
INCONVENIENT PRODUCTION - DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN-- BUT ONCE WILL BE ENOUGH.
THE 3" WIDE CARDBOARD ALLOW US TO USE THE CARDBOARD TO STUFF 2 PLASTIC
BAGS INTO OUR BACK POCKETS- SO THAT IF AN EMERGENCY ARRISES WE CAN YANK THE
PLASTIC BAG AND THE CARDBOARD IS DELIVERED FOR IMMEDIATE USE.
THIS TECHNIQUE WAS BEST DEMO' THE DAY PAUL AND I EXITED AN ELEVATOR IN
THE LAHEY HOSPITAL AND THE PUP WE HAD WITH US VOMITED
- WE BOTH YANKED AND SCOOPED AND THE TIME START TO FINISH WAS 6 SECONDS- PEOPLE NEVER KNEW-
- WE BOTH YANKED AND SCOOPED AND THE TIME START TO FINISH WAS 6 SECONDS- PEOPLE NEVER KNEW-
OTHER PROFESSIONAL TECHNIQUES INCLUDE SLOWLY MOVING A SHOPPING CART OVER
THE PILE SO YOU HAVE TIME TO BE CASUAL.
AS FOR MALES AND FLUID PRODUCTION-- BOTH MEGAN AND I HAVE TRIED GRABBING
THAT FIREHOSE TO SHUT IT OFF- THAT DOES NOT WORK. IT IS VERY AMUSING TO THE
SURROUNDING PUBLIC BUT THAT YELLOW FLUID KEEPS COMING.
SO BACK TO THE PROBLEM CARDBOARDS...
WE CAN EAT JUST SO MUCH CEREAL- BUT... THERE IS THE CAMERA CROWD !!!
I CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO DISRUPT THE GENEROUSITY WITH THE MONEY
DONATIONS ... BUT LETS LOOK AT THE NUMBERS OF CARDBOARD NNEEDED...
16 PUPS 5 PILES A DAY + 2 PIECES OF CEREAL CARDBOARD = 160 FOR JUST THE
PUPS DAILY
ANOTHER 30 ADULTS WITH MAYBE 2 PILES EACH X 2 CARDBOARDS = 120
A FEW LOOSE STOOLS AND WE ARE LOOKING AT 300 PIECES OF CEREAL CARDBOARDS A
DAY
DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY
THE OTHER DETAIL IS ONE SIDE OF THE CEREAL CARDBOARD SHOULD BE STRAIGHT-
TO BE A BETTER SCRAPING DEVICE.
THEY FIT IN A #10 ENVELOPE -- I REALISE WHAT I AM SAYING-- BUT WE HAVE A
NEED FOR MANY.. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO SEE IF I HAVE TO STOP THE MAILING.. ...
LETS SEE HOW THIS WORKS
SH#T HAPPENS-- WE DEAL....
