FROM DAWN WHO LOST VAYLU 5 WEEKS AGO
HE
GAVE ME A GREAT LIFE
I
GAVE HIM A GREAT LIFE
THEN
I LET HIM SLEEP.
IT HAS BEEN 5 WEEKS SINCE MY BOY HAS GONE TO SLEEP.LIFE WITHOUT A DANE NOT
GOOD. WHILE GRIEVING THE LOSS OF OUR VAYLU MY HUSBAND AL HAD A SUBARACHNOID
HEMORRHAGE=BRAIN BLEED. SPENDING TIME AT LAHEY BURLINGTON WITHOUT VAYLU WAS
AWFUL. AL IS HOME AND RECOVERING. IT WILL BE GOOD TO MOVE FORWARD AND HOPEFULLY
BE PARTNERED WITH ANOTHER DANE ~AN EXTENSION OF MYSELF.THE SORROW IS SUCH OF
LOSING PART OF YOURSELF AND YOU REALLY ARE.
JIM,ANN
& KARMA SENT A SPECIAL CARD AND LEFT US WITH THE WORDS,"HANG ON,GRIEVE &
THEN DARE TO LOVE & LIVE AGAIN."
DAWN
& AL
***
WELL
SAID
IT
IS A FACT OF LIFE-- EVERY SERVICE DOG WE DONATE WILL PROBABLY BE OUTLIVED BY
THEIR PARTNER--
THAT
WEIGHS HEAVILY ON ME- AND THERE IS NOT A THING I CAN DO ABOUT IT-
SO
I TRY NOT TO DWELL ON IT
***********
HOW
CAN I WITH THIS NONSENSE???
THERE
ARE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS I DO NOT DARE PUT IN PRINT---
PROBLEM
----THERE HAVE BEEN 2 PEOPLE WHO WOULD REALLY BE HAPPIER RUNNING THEIR OWN
ORGANIZATIONS- BOTH HAVE PEQULIAR DELUSIONS ABOUT RUNNING SDP--- FROM ORDERING
OTHER VOLUNTEERS AROUND- TO THE LATEST-- HAVING THEIR OWN SDP SHIRTS MADE---BOTH
HAVE BRAGGED ABOUT HELPING AND VOLUNTEERING WHICH THEY HAVE NOT DONE.
WHAT
EXACTLY IS THEIR GOAL????-
I
RECIEVED 4 NOTICES LIKE THIS....
I STRUGGLED
WITH WHETHER I SHOULD BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION AT ALL, BUT AFTER GIVING IT
SOME MORE THOUGHT, I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF SOME COMMENTS THAT
WERE MADE OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON THE EXPLORE CHAT EARLIER TODAY, OR IS IT
YEATERDAY, THE FOURTH. ONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS HAD MADE THE COMMENT THAT SHE WAS
THINKING OF GETTING T-SHIRTS AND RUBBER BRACELETS MADE FOR HERSELF, WITH YOUR
ORGANIZATIONS NAME ON THEM. EVEN AFTER SHE WAS TOLD NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THIS WAS
NOT A GOOD IDEA-SHE WAS EVEN TOLD ABOUT COPYRITE INFRINGEMENT-SHE WAS VERY
INSISTENT THAT AS LONG AS SHE HAD THEM MADE, IT SHOULD BE OK. I REALIZE THAT SHE
HAS FINANCIALLY SENT SOME GIFTS AND SHE DOES VOLUNTEER, BUT TO ME SHE WAS WAY
OUT OF LINE IN THIS ENDEAVOR.
.
I REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR HANDS FULL RIGHT NOW, AND DO NOT NEED
ANOTHER ISSUE TO TAKE CARE OF, BUT I THOUGHT THAT IF YOU COULD NIP THIS IN THE
BUD BEFORE IT BECOMES A MAJOR ISSUE IT MIGHT BE EASIER NOW RATHER THAN
LATER.
OH
I HAD HEARD THIS. UNBELIEVEABLE I DON'T READ THAT WEB- AND DON'T HAVE TIME..
BUT QUOTES GET SENT TO ME.
LET
ME MAKE ONE THING PERFECTLY CLEAR-- THERE IS A TERRIBLE
MIS-USE OF THE WORD VOLUNTEER BY 2 PEOPLE ON THAT SITE WHO DO
NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORD. A VOLUNTEER IS A PERSON WHO COMES
HERE, ASKS WHAT THEY CAN TO TO HELP AND THEN DOES IT. A VOLUNTEER IS NOT A
PERSON WHO USES OUR COMMUNITY TO LECTURE ON THIER ACCOMPLISHMENTS WHILE STANDING
AROUND DOING NOTHING. A VOLUNTEER DOES NOT USE THIS PROJECT TO AMUSE THIER
ASSOCIATES WITH FILMS MADE HERE WHILE PERFORMING NOT 2 MINUTES WORTH OF ACTUAL
VOLUNTEER WORK. THERE ARE A FEW VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO SPEAK FOR
SDP... THOSE HOWEVER ARE NOT THE 2 MAKING ALL THE NOISE ON THAT CHAT
LINE.
NOW
THE LATEST ABOUT THOSE SHIRTS.... VOLUNTEERS HERE EARN THOSE SHIRTS BY WORKING -
SOMETIMES UNDER IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS.. THEY ARE A BADGE OF HONOR.
MY
COMMENT TO BOTH THESE PEOPLE IS-- GO START YOUR OWN PROGRAM AND DO WHATEVER YOU
WANT--- YOU HAVE MY BLESSING..
THE
OPERATIVE WORD IS "GO" ... DO YOUR THING..
JUST NOT HERE.
*****************
I AM HOPING FOR A QUIET DAY
THERE ARE ALOT OF (REAL) VOLUNTEERS WHO SEEM TO HAVE
THE DAY OFF--
I THINK OLIVER IS COMING DOWN FOR A RUNAROUND WITH
MEGAN AND ME
AND EARLENE MENTOINED DEALING WITH BUBBLE WRAPPING
PUZZLES
THE NEW FENCE AROUND "v"V IS CLOSE TO BEING READY TO
STAND UP
AND---
PREVIOUS OWNERS OF SERVICE DOG HAVE A HIGH PRIORITY IN GETTNG ANOTHER...
SO
WE NEED TO FIND--- NOT ANOTHER VAYLU-- BUT A DIFFERENT DOG FOR DAWN...
