GETTIN STRAIGHT 'WAY ONTO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER 16 PUPS TO FIGURE
OUT..
WE HAVE THE ROOM-- WITH THE NEW DOG HOUSE ETC... BUT WE NEED DISHES ETC-- I
WENT TO EBAY AND FOUND 15 STAINLESS STEEL BUCKETS MADE BY VOLRATH (I THINK ARE
HEAVY DUTY FOOD PREP MFG) AND BOUGHT THEM--- I STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DISHES
9.5" ACROSS THE TOP SO THEY FIT IN TH E WHITE BUCKETS AND OTHER DISH
HOLDERS...
AND THE 15 IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE TIME IS COMING WHEN WE TRY AND FIGURE
OUT IF THERE IS A PUP OUT OF THE 16 WE SHOULD KEEP"ENTIRE" IN CASE WE NEED TH E
BLOODLINES-- PATICULARLY OF CHAOS-- SO I WILL BE LOOKING TO "PARK" ONE OF THE
DOGS WITH A VOLUNTEER IN CASE WE NEED HIM/HER 2 YEARS FROM NOW.
***************
WE HAD A VERY TIDY VISITOR YESTERDAY-- A BUSINESS MAN FROM CALIFORNIA--
CLEAN AND PRESSED-- HE CLIMBED INTO THE PEN WITH CHAOS LITTER AND SPOON FED
THEM... I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HD TH EVIDEO RIGHTS TO WHEN HE SAT DOWN INTHE
PLANE AND WHITE DOG HAIR FILLED THE VENTILATION SYSTEM...
***********
CHAOS PUPS GOT THEIR FIRST SHOTS YESTERDAY NEXT WEEK WE NEED TO REMEMBER
MOXIE'S
***********
WILLOW - WE HAVE CUT DOWN HER MED ( PER GEORGE) 3 DAYS AGO AND SHE IS
STILL BOUNCING AROUND PLAYING WITH A BONE.. DOGS IN ANY KIND OF PAIN DO NOT
PLAY AND RUN AROUND LIKE A HAPPY FOOL.
***********
IT HAS BEEN REPIORTED THAT IVY IS STILL NOT GETTING UP ON THE SOFA... I
DON'T KNOW-- COULD BE--- IF IT IS A STRAIN MUSCLE... I KNOW IN A HORSE IT IS 8
WEEKS TO THE DAY BEFORE THEY GO SOUND AGAIN... COULD BE LONGER IF MEMORY IS
INVOLVED... HORSES ARE A LITTLE SHORT ON MENTAL THINGS..
*************
THE COFFEE IS SUPER TODAY 1/2 STARBUCKS AND 1/2
DUNKIN
************
IT IS GETTING TIME FOR MOXIE TO GO HOME AND JOIN HER PUP FROM LAST
TIME... THESE GUYS HAVE HAD A GOOD START AND ARE READY TO TACKLE THE WORLD
WITHOUT HER... I DON'T THINK WE DCAN MIX THEM UNATTENDED YET-- CHAOS BUNCH IS
JUST THAT MUCH BIGGER WE COULD HAVE PROBLEMS UNLESS WE ARE RIGHT THERE....
************
THERE ARE NO EXCITING TRAINING REPORTS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY THAT FAR
ALONG YET... WILLOW'S SIBLINGS WILL BE THE NEXT TO MATCH
*****************
PUMPKIN IS ON HER WAY BACK HERE-- MAJOR DISASTER HAS FALLEN AGAIN- AND IS
DUE TO BE HOSPITALIZED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME... JAMIE IS TRYING TO GET
HER MOM TO AGREE TO LET HER TAKE PUMPKIN HOME WITH HER.

Hi Carlene;
I want to give you an update on Hester and Abiah. Hester is due to be
released today from rehab. Since Abiah has been with her, the physical therapy
has gone very well. They have utilized the dog by her side in their occupational
and physical therapy. She said they have fitted her with a walker that is a
smaller size that she used on one side while having Abiah on the other and it is
working very well. In fact, she told me last night that the doctor is having her
give a little presentation to his staff and interns about the value of having
service dogs with patients to speed up their rehab!
This success is thanks to the fabulous work you and your whole team do to
prepare your dogs to really be of SERVICE to their owners!
Debbie

Fiona barks when someone comes in, but then quiets
down if they ignore her. I think that is good. She comes over to me when she is
done and does not bark any more and lets them approach her. Good
balance.
I have my card group coming on Saturday, so it is the
first time she has had several people in the house. I will have food on TV trays
and hope that she does not get into it. "Leave it" works well when I am eating
on her level in the rec room.
Today grocery store and tomorrow to Vet for booster
shots, then gas. She behaves like a dream in the car, usually laying down, even
when I get out to get gas.
I just love her and am grateful everyday that you have
given her to me to care for each other. Thank you. MARYLOU

ON WE GO
