JULY 9, 2013

BENTLEY NOW OP[ENS THE BACK DOOR AND LET EVERYONE INTO THE FRONT DOOR.

GRRRRRRRRRR

 TODAY IS ACCOUNTING DAY-- WHICH MEANS A GREAT DEAL OF THE DAY THE RED LIGHT OVER MY HEAD WILL BE ON-- TO SCARE EVERYONE AWAY.

****************

THIS MEETING WE HAVE STARTED HAVING AT 9AM WITH WHOEVER IS AROUND IS GETTING ALOT DONE.

IT IS ALSO POINTING OUT ALOT OF THINGS I HAVE NOT DONE.

I WAS MY MOST EFFICIENT WHEN I CARRIED A DAILY 5X8 CARD FOLDED IN 1/3's WITH PEOPLE I HAD CALLED/NEEDED TO CALL

ETC ALL DURING ANIMAL EPISODES-- THERE ARE SHOEBOXES FULL OF YELLOW FOLDED INDEX CARDS WITH NOTES LIKE

FIND 2 MICE TOMORROW -

CALL THE SNAKE LADY - FOR TUESDAY-COPLEY PLACE
GO SEE MR RICHARDSON ABOUT BORROWING HIS COW.
     DON'T CALL - HE HATES PHONE CALLS

 THINGS LIKE THAT-- POINT BEING WHAT I DIDN'T GET DONE I JUST COPPIED ONTO THE NEXT DAYS CARD.

 I TRIED--- YESTERDAY AT OUR 9AM MEETING.. I HAD 12 THINGS TO GET DONE-

I AM HAPPY TO REPORT EARLENE AND BLUE GWEN DID STRAIGHTEN OUR THE UPSTAIRS WITH ALL THT SHIPPING PACKAGING-

 AND MARIA GOT AN AIRCONDITIONER

 THE OTHER 10 THINGS I WILL CARRY TO TODAY-

AT THIS RATE I BETTER NOT EVEN GO TO THE 9AM MEETING.

**************

SHELIA TOOK OPAL AROUND WITH HER AND MANAGED TO GIVE OUT 10 BUSINESS CARDS---

AND ( THIS IS THE INTERESTING PART...) WHEN SHE CAME BACK BERRY WAS IN THE HOUSE--

YOU REMEMBER BERRY WHO HAD ZERO LEASH TRAINING-- AND SATURDAY I PUT THE FIGURE 8 ON WHILE SHE SCREAMED AND FLIPPED AROUND-- IT TOOK ME FOREVER BUT EVENTULLY SHE STOPPED AND LOOKED RIGHT AT ME AND STOOD STILL- TAIL WAGGING SHE CLEARLY SAID "OH YOU WANT ME TO WALK NEXT TO YOU?".. LIKE HELEN KELLER AT THE WELL FIGURING OUT THE HANDS MEANT "WATER" ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE WAS TRAINED..

SO I HAD HER IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY INTENDING TO DO REPEAT OF THE LESSON TO BE SURE SHE HAD IT... BUT I DIN'T GET AROUND TO IT.. SHELIA CAME IN -SAW THAT BERRY NEEDED CONTAINING - SLIPPED THE LEASH ON HER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM. I WAS TOTALLY SHOCKED-- BERRY WAS HAPPY, SMILING, AND SO PLEASED WITH HERSILF THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD .

SHE WAS AS BAD AS BOBBY .. AS A VERY YOUNG PUP FIRST TIME IN HARNESS , HE HAD THE SEMI NORMAL FLIPPING AROUND GAGGING, CRASHING INTO FURNATURE-- IT WAS SO BAD THAT A VOLUNTEER HERE REPORTED ME TO THE SPCA---

BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN BOBBY STOPPED TO THINK " LET ME TRY SOMETHING ELSE" AND WAS PERFECTLY TRAINED EVER SINCE

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT OFF LEASH FOR HIS ENTIRE LIFE- HE HAD SO MUCH MORE FREEDOM BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE SAID TO HIM- HE LISTENED...

SOMETIMES WHEN A PUP DOES NOT CHALLANGE THE RESTRICTION OF THE ROPE, THEY DON'T TOTALLY GET THE SAME PICTURE- SOME PUPS JUST NATURALLY BEHAVE 94% OF THE TIME AND DON'T QUESTION THE ROPE. SOMEHOW THOSE PUPS DON'T EVER GET THE 100% THAT A FEW OF OUR DOGS HAVE HAD. BOBBY-- THUMPER-- ETC

 I CAN NOT SAY BAILEY-- SHE WILL TELL YOU WHAT SHE THINKS OF WHAT YOU HAVE ASKED HER TO DO BEFORE SHE RESPONDS...SOMETIMES SHE NEEDS REMINDING.

BAILEY IS DOINV VERY WELL -- I.E. SHE IS NOT GETTING ANY WORSE-- AHD COME CAMERA PEOPLE HAVE SENT A FUNNY HANDLE TO KEEP HER REAR END HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION... MUCH BETTER THAN TH E USUAL BECH TOWEL...

***************

TODAYS PLANNED ACTIVITIES...

SHELIA WILL BE HERE----- I WOULD LOVE TO GET A SMALL TIPI SET OF POLES UP INTHE PUPPY AREA

THERESA IS BACK FROM VACATION AND MAY STOP BY ( WTH GREAT EFFORT EARLENE CLEANED OFF HER DESK)

 ANN WANTS TO RETHINK THE WEB-- AND WE ARE CARRYING THAT SHIPPING CHARGE AFTER WE SAID NO SHIPPING.

I AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING GRACE'S UNICORN HAT FOR BAILEY-- THAT WILL BE A GOOD PHOTO

 WE COUL.D NOT LOCATE THE ENTIRE BOX FOR THE PUPPY BREATH MANUFACTURING BUSINESS--SO ANKLE ANNIE TOOK HOME A BUNCH OF VIALS TO PREPARE..
