THE BOOK HAS GONE TO JANINE... NOT THE PRINTER-- I HAVE DONE WITH IT..
PROBLEM IS LIFE KEEPS WRITING MORE TO THE BOOK..
I GUESS THE ALTERNTIVE IS AWKWARD
I KEEP REMEMBERING STORIES WHILE AT THE SDME TIME STORIES KEEP GETTING
WRITTEN N FRONT OF ME.
*************
LIKE YESTERDAY'S STEW WITH A FEW INTERESTING APPLICANTS... TO EXTEND OUR
BELL SHAPED CURVE..
CAUSING A FEW OF US TO SIT BACK AND SAY "WHO'S LIFE WOULD BE MOST CHANGED
BY WHAT EXPECTATIONS LISTED IN THEIR APPLICATION"
YOU ALL KNOW 57-- TEAL'S PARTNER WHO WEIGFH'S 57 POUNDS..
WELL ANOTHER HAS APPEARED-- PROBABLY WEIGHS 48 POUNDS
( IF WE START LISTING APPLICANTS BY THEIR WEIGHT, IT COULD GET
TRICKY...)
48 WALKS WITH DIFFICULTY-- BUT WALKS--, HE FALLS-- THAT IS NOT THE DEFINED
PROBLEM... THE PROBLEM IS HE CN NOT GET UP WITHOUT CRAWLING TO SOME CHAIR
ETC...
SO THE REQUEST THERE IS A SOLID DOG WHO WOULD PROVIDE THE STABILITY TO GET
UP.
WE ARE JUST BEGINING TO LOOK OVER THE NEW ( 8 MONTH OLD) PUPS THAT ARE JUST
BEGINNING THE ACHIEVED BOREDOM PHASE OF TRAINING... SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE
A DOG TO DO THAT OR NOT...
THERE WERE 2 OTHER INTERVIEWEES TO CONSIDER
A 98 POUND AND A 210 POUND...
********************
MEANWHILE-- AS OUR EDUCATION CONTINUES..
MARIA AND I BECAME PAINFULLY AWARE THAT WE MUST HAVE ALL OVERNIGHT SITTERS
BE INTERVIEWED BY MERLOW BECAUSE SHE HAS VERY DEFINITE FEELINGS IN THE MATTER
WHICH DO NOT RESEMBLE ANY IDEAS WE HAD. BOTH ANKLE ANNIE AND BUD--- TWO OF OUR
MOST GENTLE VOLUNTEERS GOT SPOKEN TO BY MERLOW-- SHE DID NOT DRAAW BLOOD- AND
SHE LICKED BUD'S HAND AFTER CLAMPING DOWN ON IT. IT WAS VERY CLEAR - YOU DO NOT
REAACH INSIDE HER PEN WITHOUT HER PERMISSION
ASK PAUL-- HE GOT HIS GLASSES REMOVED BY MERLOW TOO
SO WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHO WE ASK TO SIT WITH THE PUPS-- OR ELSE
MARIA AND I GET SUTCK WITH IT. MERLOW LIKES US--- ---PLUS EARLENE AND BECKY
1
AND ALONG COMES PI---
GOING TO BE A BIG WEEK.
*********************************
MERLOW'S PUPS LOOK GREAT AND ARE GAINING PROPERLY. BUT ARE THEY
WANDERERS. IN THE WILD- THESE WOULD NOT SURVIVE...
WHEN MARIA PUT UP THE WIRE SHEL;VING-( WHICH BECOMES OUR PUPPY BARRIER,)
I THOUGHT IT WAS WAY TOO EARLY-- BUT THIS BUNCH ARE ALREADY PUSHING AGAINST IT
AND THEIR EYES ARE NOT OPEN YET.
*************
ON A PERSONAL NOTE.. 2 THINGS
I AM NO LONGER GOING TO BED-- BUT TO CHAIR.. AND THT SEEMS TO BE MORE
CONDUCIVE TO SLEEP
.NOT FASCINATIONG?? TRY THIS
THIS ORGANIC COCONUT OIL WHICH SHELIA FOUND -- CONTINUES TO BE PRETTY DARN
STRANGE.- ALTHO THE CALORIC CONTENT IS LISTED-- IT WAS SUGGESTERD I THROW A
HANDFUL IN THE BATH WATER... -- AFTER 3 YEARS OF DERMOTOLIGISTS TELLING ME WHAT
OT SOAK IN, I HAVE TO ADMIT-- THIS IS DIFFERENT IN A POSITIVE WAY.
****************
BAILEY JUST REMINDED ME....
WE ALSO HAVE A NEW JOB FOR THE OVERNIGHTERS.. A GREAT DANE WITH AN EMPTY
TUMMY OFTEN VOMITS YELLOW ?BILE.
SO THER SHOUJLD BE A 5AM COOKIE DISTRIBUTION FOR AT LEAST ALL THE HOUSE
DOGS-
******************
WE HAVE NOT ONLY MERLOW'S PUPS, BUT PI'S IMPENDING DELIVERY, THEN A PARADE
ON JULY 4TH- WHICH TAKES A WHILE BECAUSE THEY LIKE TO HAVE US HANG AROUND ON THE
"GREEN" WITH THE DOGS ON THE BED..
THT MEANS SUPER COVERAGE FOR THURSDAY HERE AT THE HOUSE AND ON THE GREEN
IN BURLINGTON. MAYBE DEALING WITH HEAT ( MORE ICE)
****************
WITH BOTH TRACY AND THERESA ON VACATION-- STUFF IS PILING UP IN TH E
CORNERS- AND ALONG THE WALLS...
I NOTICED LAST NIGHT THRE ARE SEVERAL WALLS IN THIS HOUSE WHERE THE PILES
START 4 FOOT WIDE ON THE FLOOR AND TAPER UP TO MEET THE WALL S AT ABOUT 6
FEET.
IT IS ALL VALUABLE STUFF-- BUT IT HAS MET THE CRITICAL MASS OF THE STUFF
ON THE FLOOR-AGAINST THE WALL HAS BEEN MISSING SO LONG THAT WE HAVE TO BUY THT
STUFF NEW.
THAT IS WHEN THE REAL TROUBLE STAAARTS
WE ARE THERE...
