WE ARE GETTTING ORGANIZED
FIRST THING I DO IN THE MORNING ( AFTER DRESSING OF COURSE-- -- ALTHO IN MY JAMMIES WOULD BE POSSIBLE-- WE DO LIVE IN THE WOODS..) -- I GO FOR A MORNING WALK-- OF ABOUT 30 FEET-- TO THE NUTT HOUSE.. WHERE I TURN UP; THE HEAT AND PUT A MATCH TO THE FIRE IN THE POT BELLY STOVE THAT SOMEONE BUILT FOR ME YESTERDAY.. THEN FOR MENTAL ACTIVITY, I WATCH THE THERMOMETER CLIMB FROM 49 TO 95- I SIT AND WATCH TH E POT BELLY STOVE DO NOTHING EXCEPT WARM THE WALLS CEILING AND FLOOR TO 55 DEGEES--- THEN I GO IN THE HOUSE AND LET THE PUPS OUT--
YOU WILL NOTICE I FORGOT A CRITICAL THING-- FOR TRAINING PURPOSES I SHOULD TAKE A BOWL OF DRY FOOD WITH ME AND DUMP IT ON THEIR BEDS OUT THERE SO THEY HAVE MORE DIRECTION WHEN I TURN THEM LOOSE.
CONSEQUENTLY TODAY NOT ALL THE 15 MADE IT TO THE NUTT HOUSE WHICH MEANT COUNTING BLACK PUPS IN THE DARK-- A VERY MENTALLY TIRING EXERCISE...
MAGGIE WAS NEITHER IN TH EHOUSE OR NUTT HOUSE.. BLESS HER... SO I LEFT HER OUT ALONE TIL SHE FINALLY SCRATCHED ON TH EHOUSE DOOR... NEXT TIME I BET SHE COMES BETTER WHEN CALLED......FINALLY 15-- VERIFIED BY COLLEEN
************
NEXT TOPIC
2 VOMITERS-- BUT YELLOW GOO ONLY--- NO ONE VOMITED THE MISSING MITTON-- THE ONLY ACTIVITY COLLEEN HAD TO REPORT WAS THE UNUSUAL NOISE WHILE ONE WAS POOPING-- WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE ROCKS HITTING THE VINYL FLOOR-
SHE SAID IT WAS PEE STONE- SO WE HAD A LOOK ----- PEE STONE IS... I THINK--- LESS THAN 1/2 INCH SMOOTH ROUND--- THIS WAS THE 3/4 " CRUSHED ROCK THAT WE HAVE ALOT OF AROUND HERE---IT WILL HENCEFORTH BE CALLED WHAT IT IS... POOP STONE.
SINCE NO MITTON YET--- WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WATCH THE DOGS--- BECAUSE I CAN NOT KEEP THEM ALL IN TO SEE IF IT PASSES-- WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WATCH FOR A BIG BELLYACHE.. WHICH WE DO ANYWAY-----LETS HOPE WE FIND IT NEXT SPRING WOUND AROUND THE BLADE OF THE MOWER.--- THE OTHER WAY IS IF IT BECOMES A SURGICAL BELLY--
AND GEORGE IS IN AFRICA.. ( HE HAS COVERAGE-- DO NOT PANIC)
*****
THT REMINDS ME -- WE HAVE NOEL DUE-- AND I NEED TO PICK UP SOME OXYTOCIN IN THE REFRIG JUST IN CASE-- THEY( VETS) USUALLY TELL ME WHEN AND HOW MUCH TO USE UNDER WHATEVER SITUATION DEVELOPES-- IT CAUSES UTERINE CONTRACTIONS- AND SEEMS TO BE USED AFTER YOU THINK THEY ARE ALL BORN TO SORT OF CLEAN OUT MOM-- VERY OFTEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY PROCUSES ANOTHER PUP OR TWO.
AS FAR AS I KNOW-- THERE IS NO NORMAL.
-**************
I WAS ALL SET TO GET UP AND PLOW THIS BIG 12" STORM WITH THE TRACTOR...-- BUT INSTEAD I USED THE BROOM AND WENT BACK TO DRINKING COFFEE ...
************
BOB MCCARTHY SUGGESTED WE GET A "COUPLE" CAMERAS CALLED "GOPRO" WITH A STRAP TO PUT IT ON MY HEAD--- OR A DOG'S HEAD--- THAT COULD JUMP START OUR PROJECT OF VIDEO TAPING SOME OF THE STRANGER THINGS AROUND HERE.
I AM AT THAT POINT OF LEASH TRAINING WHERE IT IS INTERESTING TO ME TO SEE A PUP TURN AROUND AND FROWN AND STARE AS HE TRIES TO THINK--- WHAT ON EARTH IS SHE SAYING TO ME.. THERE IS THAT MOMENT WHERE THEY FIGURE IT OUT-- AND ARE THEN REASONABLY TRAINED--
IT IS LIKE THAT MOMENT IN THE FILM, MIRACLE WORKER WHERE HELLEN KELLER FIGURES OUT THAT THE SIGN LANGUAGE HANDS MEANT "WATER" ----IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING FOR ME TO HAVE ONE OF THE GOPROS ATTACHED TO MY HEAD FOR THIS OPERATION IN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS...
I WILL WORK ON THAT CONCEPT... I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF STORES CARRY THEM.
*******************
TIM IS FEDEXING A NEW CAMERA AND 150 FEET OF CABLE WHICH SHOULD WORK IN AND AROND THE HOUSE--- BUT WILL NOT REALLY BE THE ROVING CAMERA WE HOPED IT WOULD BE.
THAT IS WHERE THESE GOPRO'S APPARENTLY EXCEL-- SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
RIGHT AT THE MOMENT COLLEEN HAS LET HTE 15 IN THE HOUSE ( SHE SAID SHE COUNTED) AND CASPER HAS PERCHED HIMSELF ON TOP OF THE GARD THAT KEEPS THEM FROM CLIMBING INTO TH E HEATER.. A GOOD GOPRO MOMENT --- HE IS CUTE-- BUT IT CAN NOT BE GOOD FOR HIS DRY SKIN ITCH
.**************
THANK HEAVENS FOR THIS CLOCK THAT TELLS ME IT IS TUESDAY--- LOVE IT !!!
I ALSO LOVE THE BATCH OF OUTDOOR BRASS 4" DOUBLE ENDED SNAPS- WHICH I HAVE ADDED TO MY COLLECTION OF THE NOT BRASS INDOOR KIND....- I THINK MAYBE... JUST MAYBE... I HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE NEXT 6 MONTHS... I NEVER IN MY LIFE THOUGHT I COULD SAY THAT.
PUPS ARE LOVING THE KONG COLLECTION-- THEY ROLL IN A CIRCLE (GEOMETRY WAS A FAVORITE OF MINE)
****************
I AM EXTREMELY ALERT TO ANY GAGGING NOISE ANYWAY-- BUT I HAVE JUST NOTICED HOW SIMILAR THAT NOISE IS TO CORNER OF CARDBOARD BOX CHEWING...-- THE NOISE EVEN FOOLED THE PUPS AS THEY RAN OVER TO SEE IF HE WAS GOING TO VOMIT ANYTHING INTERESTING.
HEY YOU WANTED A REALITY SHOW..
THAT IS REALITY.
*********************
TODAY?
LO SAID SHE WOULD COME ON TUESDAYS BUT THEN CHANGED IT BECAUSE OF THE STORM WHICH HAS NOT REALLY MATERLALIZED-- SO I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE THE 9AM HELP I NEED TO TRAIN THE PUPS.
I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THE SCHEDULING OF MORE HELP THANKS TO THE GRANT FROM EXPLORE...
SDP IS AT THE POINT SHELIA OBRIEN WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN SHE CERTIFIED US-- "SOMEBODY WILL GIVE YOU MONEY TO GROW-- AND YOU WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DO THAT---OR DIE THE SITUATION THEN BECOMES HAVING A BASE OF DONORS WHO WILL MAINTAIN THE GROWTH"
CHARLIE ADDED "TRICK IS TO MAINTAIN THE QUALITY"
MY PERSONAL CONCERN IS-- I HAVE ALWAYS RUN A BUSINESS WHEREHELP WAS RANDOM FUN MONEY FOR - BASIICALLY COLLEGE KIDS- WE ARE GETTING INTO A SITUATION WHERE IT MEANS THINGS LIKE PAYROLL FOR FAMILY SUPPORTERS--AND MEDICAL INSURANCE
AND THAT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS.
SUPPORTING MY KIDS THRU COLLEGE WAS AN EXTREMELY NERVE WRACKING CONCEPT... SO I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM,..
**************
IN CLOSING..... I DO NOT KNOW WHY I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS... BUT.....
IF DEER HUNTING IS A SPORT, THEN - TO EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD ----WHY DON'T HUNTERS WEAR TAN JACKETS AND WHITE FLUFFY HATS?
THAT IS WHEN GUN PEOPLE TELL ME THERE ARE TOO MANY DEER AND IT IS A WAY OF CULLING THE POPULATION.
WHICH IS WHEN I SAY " THERE ARE TOO MANY DEER HUNTERS AND THAT POPULATION NEEDS CULLING TOO."
*
TODAY SCHEDULE ??
I DUNNO
MAYBE THE CHAIN LINK FENCE WILL ARIVE-- I AM TRYING TO GET THEM TO DELIVER IT
THE DURANGO NEEDS ATTENTION AGAIN...AND THAT IS THE TRAILER PULLER.
AND THE COA IS GROANING.
