DOGGIE DAILY  AUG 31, 2013
LORD THY SEA IS SO GREAT AND MY MIND IS SOOOOO SMALL--- OR WHATEVER THAT IS.

I AM MANAGING THE NEW COMPUTER-- IT IS NOT ALOT WORSE THAN THE OLD ONE AND ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAD WITH THAT...

SIMPLE THINGS LIKE THIS SIGNATURE AT THE BOTTOM  SAYS WE HAVE 22 DOGS OUT-- AND WE HAVE 55  PLUS MOBILITY  IS SPELLED WORNG-- SO I CHANGE THEM BY HAND WHEN I REMEMBER  BECAUSE I CAN NOT TAKE THE 3 HOURS TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE IT OTHERWISE..

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

AND THEN THERE IS QUICKEN...  

 I WANTED TO START A NEW SYSTEM  SO  I COULD GET A BETTER LINE ON THE CATAGORIES-- ESPECIALLY TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SDP EXPENSES AND MY PERSONAL  ONES .

154 YEARS AGO I WROTE MY OWN PROGRAM TO MANAGE MY EXPENSES AND THAT OF THE WANT ADVERTISER MAGAZINE FOR WHOM I WAS GAINFULLY EMPLOYED.    IT WAS BEFORE WINDOWS  OR EVEN A COLORED MONITOR...  BLACK AND WHITE AND SIMPLE TO PROGRAM...  WELL BEHAVED-- WAS MOR LIKE IT.

BACK THEN 

  CATEGORY 38 WAS  MY PERSONAL UTILITIES  EXPENSE  AND 381 WAS WANT AD RELATED---- SIMPLE THING TO HAVE SDP UTILITIES BE 381  WHICH IT HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS....AUTO IS 10 AND SDP AUTO 101  -- insurance   18 AND 181  --   etc----IN MY HEAD ...THAT IS JUST HOW IT IS...  

 

BUT FOR REPORT MAKING   AND SORTING PURPOSES  THE UTILITIES FOR SDP SHOULD BE  CATAGORY 138  WITH THE 1 IN FRONT-- THEN THEY WOULD SORT BETTER/FASTER.

SO I TURNED ON QUICKEN  START UP LESSON.....- AND WITH DIFFICULTY I FOUND THE NAME OF MY BANK-- AMONG 7 OTHER BANKS WITH THE SAME NAME...  AND PRESSED CONTINUE./

I NEVER SHOULD HAVE- 

 ALL BY ITSELF  in less than 10 SECONDS  ----IT DECIDED I WANTED TO DOWNLOAD ALL  MY RECORDS, PUT CHECKS IN CATAGORIES TOTALLY UNFAMILIAR,, ADD THINGS, SUBTRACT THINGS, AND GIVE ME A REPORT IN PINK,GREEN AND PURPLE  DECIDING MY CLOTHING EXPENSE WAS OVER BUDGET LAST JUNE.

TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL.  I WANTED TO SIMPLY ADD ONE CHECK AT A TIME FOR 2013 -- WITH MY OLD CATAGORY NUMBERS THAT are seared in my head.  

I DO NOT WANT IT TO TELL ME IT IS TUESDAY, THE FRIDGE NEEDS DEFROSTING AND VAN NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE..  JUST DO THE BOOKEEPIPNG  PART OF MY LIFE.

TALK ABOUT INVASIVE....

SO IF ANY OF YOU COMING HERE KNOW THIS NEW QUICKEN PLEASE HELP ME.. 

 IF YOU ARE NOT 100%  FAMILIAR WITH IT, EVEN DISCUSSING IT WITH ME WILL MAKE ME WORSE.

I CAN LEARN... BUT AS ALL AROUND HERE WILL TELL YOU, IT IS A PAINFUL PROCESS..

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

I CAN HEAR THUNDER

I LIKE THE RAIN-  

I CAN STILL LAY FLOOR IN THE RAIN...  THOSE PILE OF COBBLESTONES ARE CALLING TO ME...  IT IS LIKE HAVING A SAND BOX IN WHICH TO PLAY IN THE DIRT.

I HOPE EARLENE AND PAUL CAN COME OUT TO PLAY TODAY... 

THE T TENT NEEDS MASSIVE REORGANIZATION  WITH THE NEW EXTENSION/ANNEX

BIGGEST CONSIDERATION IS HOW TO ORGANIZE IT SO IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WE CAN PUT THE CHICKEN SH#T TABLE UNDER COVER THERE SOMEHOW AND STILL HAVE IT ON CAMERA-- WHILE MANAGING TO FEED 100 PEOPLE IN THE SAME AREA... 

 EARLENE !!!!!!!!  HELP!!!!!!

******

SPEAKING OF HELP

WE HAD A NASTRY MISHAP WITH THE MAIL LAST NIGHT---

 UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF TH E PACKAGES UPS DELIVERED WAS MARKED

    WHOOPIE PIES

THIS WAS APPARENTLY NMOR THAN OUR  MAIL ROOM STAFF COULD HANDLE

AND THE PACKAGE GOT OPENED  BEFORE MAIL CALL AT 5PM...

WITH SEVERAL WHOOPIES MISSING.  EVEN THO THE PACKAGE WAS ALL RE-SEALLED

THE FACT THAT SOMEONE HAD FILCHED A FEW WAS OBVIOUS..

SO WE HAVE A WHOOPIE PUZZLE TO FIGURE OUT...

THERE WERE 2 PEOPLE NOTICEABLY MISSING FROM MAIL CLL

NAMELY TRACY AND SHEILA... WHO HAD BOTH RUN OFF LEAVING A FAINT TRAIL OF WHOOPIE CRUMBS

I AM TOLD THEY ALSO HAD WHITE FUZZY MUSTACHES...

TO BE CONTINUED

********

WE DID MANAGE TO GT THE  LEXAN WINDOWS ON THE PORCH AND SEVERAL SHELVES IN PLACE TO HANDLE OUR GROWING OVERFLOW.

PROBLEM IS-- IT IS ALL STUFF WE NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO 43% OF THE TIME--  THE REST OF THE TIME IT IS STUFF OF WHICH TRIP-OVERS ARE MADE.

PARKINSONS LAW - OR ONE OF THEM--- CLUTTER WILL ACCUMULATE TO FILL AVAILABLE SPACE

WE NOW HAVE MORE SPACE.

*******

SHOULD BE A BUSY DAY-- AND SH#TTING IS TOMORROW...

THE NUMBES ARE PRINTED -- AS IS THE LIST OF DONORS... SO I AM READY

I LOVE IT WHEN IT IS SOLD OUT-- FOR SEVERAL REASONS-- ONE BEING, I CAN PRINT THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK BEFORE THE DAY OF...  THIS IS MUCH LESS STRESSFUL

TO NEED A LIST OF DONORS IN ORDER TO TELL WHO WON. AND HAVE THE PRINTER RUNOUT OF INK, IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO ATART A SH#TTING DAY..

SO I AM READY TODAY...

OTHER THAN THAT......

daily doggie  aug 30,2013

IN CASE YOU DON'T REALIZE IT-- I AM NOT A VET-ERNARIAN....- AND MY EXPERTISE COMES FROM HEAVILY RELYING ON GEORGE...  WHO HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE CORRECT  OFTEN...

I CAN NOT REMEMBER ALL THE DOGS WHO CURRENTILY HAVE SOMETHING  WIERD GOING ON... MOSTLY SKIN, AND TOES.  AND THESE ARE NOT DOGS LIVING  HERE  BUT ONES WHO LIVE HUNDREDS OF MILES FROM HERE AND ARE NOT NECESSARILY DIRECTLY  RELATED TO EACH OTHER...

MY ASSUMPTION IS ALLERGY'S

I WOULD ALSO CONSIDER-- GREAT DANE PUPS GOING THRU A GROWTH STAGE OFTEN GET SOME SKIN THING  WHICH RESOLVES WITH BASIC CARE.

  CASPER HAS SOME OOZING TOE THING....  THIS DOES NOT EXPLAIN  BAILEY'S TOE---  SHE IS LICKING IT AND I NOTICED   THERE IS ONE PINHOLE WHICH IS DRIPPING OR OOZING BLOOD.  SHE IS 10 YEARS OLD- SO THERE GOES THE PUPPY THEORY..

MOST PEQUILIAR IS THE BIG FOOT THING.... FOR YEARS WE HAD ONE FRONT FOOT SWOLLEN TWICE IT'S SIZE--  TEMP- LETHARGIC- BY THE TIME I GOT ROUND TO GOING TO GEORGE ( 3 DAYS) THEY WERE  OFTEN BETTER...  ONE FRONT FOOT-- NEVER A BACK FOOT-- AND NEVER BOTH FRONT FEET...  ALL  THOSE DOGS WERRE RELATED TO TIFFANY - OF THE BMW KENNEL ( A VERY WELL KNOWN KENNEL--- AND OTHER  DANE PEOPLE HAVE COME  ROUND  IN THE PAST FEW YEARS TO CALLING IT   THE BIG FOOT..

EXCEPT ANN SAYS KARMA HAS A H UGE  BACK FOOT.... AND LAST NIGHT ALICE ( WITH PISTOL) SAID SHE HAS A BACK FOOT-- BOTH THOSE ARE GOING TO THE VET'S TODAY--- I DON'T KNOW...  IT IS NOT MY USUAL BIG FOOT SCEENERIO..

???? GEORGE?????--  SHALL   I GIVE BAILEY A BENEDRYL??

ACTUALLLY  BIAL;EY IS THE ONLY ONE NEAR DANVERS ANIMAL  HOSPITAL- AND THE PINHOLE IS NOT SPURTING ( MY CRITERIOR FOR TAKING HER TO SEE GEORGE) 

 IF I Ran down there with every pinhole around here we  WOULD NEVER BE HOME

 BUT   SOMETHING IS GOING ON....  

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

TODAY 

 LAUREN IS DOING WELL WITH  BORIS-- HE AHS A FEW HANGUPS -- HE IS YOUNG--- THE DEBATE IS -- DO WE SEND THEM HOME TOGETHER??  HE IS RIGHT ON GETTEIN HER  TO HER FEET WHEN SHE FALLS... HE 'S GOT THAT PART...  BUT HIS IS NOT A YEAR YET AND IS THE GAWKY PUPPY AT TIMES.

WE HAVE 47 TONS OF GRANITE TO ORGANIZE, THE FRONT PORCH TO ENCLOOSE AND SORT OUT... 

IN GETTNG THE SHELVING WE WERE ELIGIBLE FOR 2 WEBER GRILLS-- SO WE NOW HAVE 2 OF THOSE IN THE OVERFLOW AREAQS...

THERE WAS A THIRD- I ALREADY FORGOT...

AND HAVOC NEEDS TO TRY THINKING... I NEED TO SPEND TIME WITH HER.  SHE IS NOT LEASH TRAINED BY A LONG SHOT... I THOUGHT I WOLD TRY HAVING HER WALK UP THE LADDER-- JUST AS A VARITEY REQUEST...

AND SO IT GOES...

AUG 29, 2013
NOW IT STARTS-- VITAMINS FOR THE  MOM TO BE...  I GAVE HER A BOTTLE OF  VITAMINS FROM THE  SUPPLY THAT YOU CP'S HAVE PROVIDED.... WITH THE WARNING THAT SHE KEEP THEM IN THE ICEBOX ( FRIDGE TO YOU  YOUNG FOLK)  BECAUSE THEY ARE LIVER FLAVORED-- AND  IF SHE GOT INTO THEM IT WOULD NOT BE GOOD... SO KEEP THEM AWAY-- AND THE ICEBOX IS A GOOD  PLACE. 

ASK MEGAN ABOUT DOGS GETTING INTO STUFF THAT TASTES GOOD...

EXPERIENCE COMES FROM BAD EXPERIENCES.

SOOOO... WE TOOK SCARLOTT TO GEORGE-- WHO HAS A NEW ULTRASOUND MACHINE-  HE BENT DOWN AND FELT-- AND SAID SHE HAS WALNUTS -- WHICH IS APPARENTLY WHAT THE PUPS FEEL LIKE WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT 25 DAYS ALONG...PERSONALLY I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FEEL ANYTHING..  BUT THEN HE TURNED ON HIS NEW ULTRASOUND AND IMMEDIATELY SAID-- THERE'S ONE-- FOLLOWED BY TWO... THREE... AND FOUR-    THEY ALMOST ALL LOOKED ALIKE-- EXCEPT FOR SIZE.. AND THEREBY LIES A TALE..

JULY 26 OR WAQS IT THE 28TH??  ----YELLOW "COVERED HER"  THEN FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON HE QUIT SHOWING ANY INTEREST...  THIS WAS EXCEEDINGLY STRANGE  BECAUSE BOTH WALTER AND BENTLY SAID SHE WAS STILL VERY INTERESTING...  NOT WANTING TO MISS THIS CYCLE--- I DECIDED TO LET BENTLY HAVE A GO AT IT...  WHICH HE WILLINGLY DID---  LIKE    JULY 31-AUG4  .

I HAVE TO MENTION MY CONCERN... WHY SHOULD YOU CAMERA PEOPLE NOT WORRY WITH ME???

PROBLEM THERE IS  IF THEY BOTH SIRED PUPS,,,  THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GESTATION OF 63 DAYS AND 58 DAYS IS OFTEN SIGNIFICANT--  THE LAST FEW DAYS  DEVELOPE THINGS LIKE LUNGS...  GEORGE MAY CORRECT ME  BUT SOMEWHERE I REMEMBER THAT BEING SAID.

I DO HAVE AN OXYGEN TANK HERE-- MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE IT ON HAND WHEN SHE WHELPS???

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

WILLIAM HUBER CAME YESTERDAY TO DO SOME MORE POSSIBLE CAMERA SHOTS...  I ARRIVED ON THE SET AS EVERYONE WAS TOSSING SINGLE SHEETS OF KLEENEX ONTO THE GRASS-- LIKE 4 BOXES -- ALL OVER THE GREEN GRASS.... ADD PUPS AND HOPEFULLY HE GOT A USEABLE SHOT...

AND THEN WE WANTED TO DO THE GOLF CART FULL OF DOGS-- WE WANTED TO DO IT AT THE IPSWICH COUNTRY CLUB---  CAMERA MARK IS A MEMBER, AND I HAVE KEPT MY HUSBAND'S MEMBERSHIP UP ( SO I CAN EAT THERE)--  AT FIRST THEY SAID OK,  WE COULD USE THIER CARTS AND A SECTIO OF THE GOLF COURSE..  THEN THEY STARTED IN... "YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP THE DOGS ON LEASH"---  " IF ONE URINATES ON THE GREEN IT IS $20,000"---- " YOU MAY NOT PUT A DOG ON THE ROOF OF OUR CARTS"  THAT DID IT...RUINS ALL THE FUN-- SO WE DID IT HERE IN THE FLAT FIELD..   AND I THINK HE GOT SOME FANTASTIC SHOTS...  MARIAH WAS THE ROOF DOG...  LIFTED THERE BY MEGAN..

I AM NOT SURE WE COULD HAVE GOT THE SHOT AT THE ICC.   IT TOOK SOME  ENGINEERING...

IT IS LOOKING LIKE A GOOD CALENDAR-- WE HAVE ANOTHER 4 SHOTS TO DREAM UP..

**********

 WE ALMOST MISSED MAIL CALL--  AT 4:55 I WAS ZOOMING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TO PICK UP THE MAIL-- AND THE FEDEX MAN HAD NOT EVEN DELIVERED BY 5:PM...  SO IT WAS A BRIEF MAIL CALL.

**** 

I AM SLOWLY TRYING TO RECLAIM SOME OF THIS HOUSE... NAMELY THE FREEZER IN THE TOP OF MY FRIDGE... I NEED TO BUY SOME NORMAL FOOD SO WHEN  WE GET THRU MAIL CALL  WE DON'T HAVE TO ALWAYS  ORDER CHINESE FOOD BECAUSE THE FREEZER IS STUFFED WITH DOG FOOD AND UNIDENTIFIABLE LUMPS OF FROZEN VEGETATION. ( NOT TO MENTION THE FROZEN RODENT DELIVERY COMPANY STORAGE FACILITY...)   WE HAVE 6 FREEZERS IN TEH CELLAR  TO COPE WITH THE DOG'S BEEF  SO I AM TRYING TO HAVE ALL OF SDP RELATED STUFF GO THERE. 

IN ADDITION I PLAN TO BUY A SOFA FOR MY ROOM... NOT ONE THAT WE HAVE PICKED UP ALONG THE ROAD-- AN ACTUAL   PURCHASED ONE...   THAT IS CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT YOU CP's HAVE ONCE AGAIN SOLD OUT THEREBY SUPPORTING   THIS PROJECT TO THE POINT WHERE I CAN BACK OFF JUST A BIT AND MAINTAIN THE DIRE EMERGENCY FUND/BANK ACCOUNT...... AND FIRST GET MYSELF A SOFA .

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

AND YOUR FUN FUND OCTOBERFEST  DOLLARS WENT TO BUY SOME GRANITE WHICH WAS DELIVERED YESTERDAY-- IT IS FOR THE FLOOR OF THE T TENT EXTENSION  WHICH GIVES US SEATING FOR ANOTHER DOZEN OR SO PEOPLE ..

IF THIS OCTOBERFEST IS ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL WEATHER, WE ALWAYS HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM IN THE ARENA FOR HANGING OUT  WITH DOGS...

*******

DAN  GOT LOTS OF TRACTOR PRACTICE YESTERDAY BY TURNING OVER TH E COMPOST  PILE WITH THE BACK HOE... PERFECT PRACTICE PROJECT-- HE IS AN EXPERT NOW.

NO COPY AND PASTE TODAY.... 

AND SO  IT GOES.

aug 28 2013

 i fwond a biiger shot glass.happy to reprot..  by actual meausrement it holds twice the brandy of the other one  -plus the results... i slept 5 hours and got up and mopped the floor with my verry oiwn mop. so far brandy beats nyquil...

to be continued..

now on the topic of the fun fund and volunteers...i suggest i match the fun fund and we buy those kurig coffee makers for volunteers who have more that 500 hours-- there are about 12 of them-- plus costco has a special on them at the moment-- if we only buy 5 a day.

this book bit.. 

my daughter who shall remain nameless because she gets twitchy  about anything i put 

in this daily doggie ( immagine that  !!)  she does have her own home-- which at the moment is non functioning..she left here with an armful of bottled water to make coffee becausse in this remodeling phase... she has no running water..

she left the finished book which will now go for a final edit by someone who edits-- and then the printer/amazon. 2 people have sent $50 DONATION  TO BUY A COPY autographed by earlene, myself .. AND THIS AUTHOR WHO SHALL REMAINL NAMELESS.. WE CAN DO THAT... 

BLESS THE CAMERA CROWD

AND THEY HAVE BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE OF THE CHICKEN BRICKS THAT WE WILL TRY AND GET SCARLOTT  TO GEORGE's TODAY  FOR AN ULTRASOUND TO SEE IF SHE IS PREGNANT...  I HOPE SO... BUT YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER  MOMMY NATURE DOES NOT ALWAYS COOPERATE AS ONE WOULD EXPECT...  YU  DON'T COUNT PUPS TIL THEY ARE NURSING...   YELLOW TRIED ONCE-- AND BENTLEY FINISHED WHAT YELLOW STARTED.. BEIONG BROTHERS IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER EXCEPT I WANTE TO HAVE YELLOW PUPS.

*******

LAUREN ( FROM NY  ) IS HERE TO WORK WITH BORRIS-- WHO IS LOVELY  BUT A BIT OF AN AIRHEAD AS HE IS NOT A YEAR OLD YET...  IF WE ARE EXTREMELY LUCKY HE WILL SQUARE AWAY BY SATURDAY AND THEY CAN TAKE HIM-- OTHERWISE SHE WILL HAVE TO COME BACK...  HE JUST NEEDS MILES WITH HER...  GOT TO PLAY IT BY EAR...

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

SHELAI ATTACKED THE FRONT PORCH WITH GUSTO-- AND GOT  4 WINDOWS UP.. NOT AN EASY CHORE BECAUSE EITHER THE PORCH IS CROOKED OR THE T-SQUARE IS FAULTY--  THIS IS THE PORCH THAT IS PULLED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE BECAUSE 750 POUND MARY GOT UP ON IT ONE DAY LOOKING FRO A CARROT...

IT WILL BE YET ANOTHER  OVERFLOW  AREA...

********

I AM TOLD THIS NEW MACHINE IS CORRECTING MY SPELLING WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.. GOT TO STOP THAT  !!!

***

APPARENTLY WE WILL BE HAVING A PHOTO SHOOT THIS AFTERNOON .. HERE AD THEN AT THE IPSWICH COUNTRY CLUB GOLF COURSE...LATE AFTERNOON

*****

AND SO IT GOES

Good morning Carlene,

No, we did not jump off the earth just have been busy as everyone else. Our 12th grandchild arrived in May and paid us a visit on her day two of life. Hey Dawg heard her crying and came right over to check her out and make sure we were treating her with kindness. Also, he accompanied us with friends to Ithaki restaurant in Ipswich this weekend. We were first seated in the Pub but the head waiter thought we would do better in the the dining room where we were seated at a table next to a half wall. After putting Hey's yoga pad down, I asked him to back into the space. Having never asked this of him before I really didn't know what to expect except that he always tries to please. Yes, back in he did and settled right in until the first train went by. Up he popped, looked out the window and settled back down. Our waitress came over to say he acted just like the children do when a train goes by. Just has to see it. Great training is always rewarded. Many thanks to you and all.
With an impending birth coming, do you need clean towels? Have have a bunch from my Mom's things. We also have cut up cardboard and newspaper if you need it. Just let us know.
Many thanks.
WOOF
Gay, Hey and Jerry

AUG 27,2013
1 OZ BRANDY IS WORTH 2 HOURS SLEEP--A MUST  "CHORE OF THE DAY".... I HAVE  SOMEWHERE A BIGGER SHOT GLASS-.  THE CONCEPT OF BRANDY AT BEDTIME SEEMS TO BE A REASONABLE ONE-- SIMILAR TO NYQUIL WITHOUT THE MEDICATIONS JUST THE ALCOHOL.. STAY TUNED

THERE IS ALOT OF STANDING AROUND FIGURING THINGS OUT..LIKE FLOOR IN THE T TENT ANNEX...10 X 20 IS 200 SQ FEET WHICH IS ALOT OF COBBLESTONES. WE DID BUY A FEW  SHELIA AND I HAVE IT DOWM PAT.. SHE WORKS THESE SALES PEOPLE OVER WHILE I JUST SIT IN TH E CORNER AND GIVE HER CLUES BY FACIAL CONTORTIONS.    WE GOT IT DOWN TOI WHAT SEEMED A REASONABLE FEE--

 AND SHE STARTED IN  "DO YOU HAVE A SCRATCH AND DENT DIVISION?  I NEVER SAW A DENTED PIECE OF GRANITE- BUT IT WORKED OUT AND WE GOT 2 PILES OF STUFF  FOR $60  WE CAN WORK INTO THE FLOOR SOMEHOW...  IT SHOULD ALL BE  DELIVERED  ?WEDNESDAY?

IF THEY GET IT ON THE GROUND, PAUL CAN PLAY WITH HIS NEW FORK LIFT ATTACHMENT FOR THE TRACTOR.

THAT CAME IN USEFUL TODAY--  THE LEXAN ARRIVED FOR THE FRONT PORCH  SO WE CQAN MAKE THAT  AN OVERFLOW OVERFLOW UNHEAQTED  STORAGE PLACE...

FUNNY STORY THERE-- MARIA AND MEGAN CAME TO THE TRACTOR TRAILER SITTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVEWAY AFRAID TO COME UP THE HILL FO R FEAR HE COULD NOT TURN AROUND... HE SAID HE HAS BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES HE COULD TURN THE 53 FOOT TRAILER IN SOMEONE'S YARD ONLY TO HAVE TO BACK OUT.... SO I DON'T KNWOW IF IT WAS MEGAN OR MARIA WHO SAID.. "WELL IF YOU CANT TURN IT AROUND, THERE IS A 75 YEAR OLD WOMAN UP THERE WHO WILL TURN IT AROUND FOR YOU" --- GOTTA   LOVE  IT!!!  HE CAME RIGHT IN THEN...

I DID HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT INCREASING THE NUMBER OF BRICKS -- WHICH I DID...  THE NUMBER OF OUR VIEWERS HAS INCREASED TREMENDOUSLY IN THE PAST YEAR-- WE HAVE GONE FROM 100 CURRENT ON LINE- TO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 300 AND 900 VIEWERSAT THEMAIL CALL ON TUESDAYS......   I CERTAINLY DO NOT INTEND TO BADGER ANYONE INTO BUYING A BRICK FOR OUR SUPPORT IF THEY CAN NOT AFFORD IT-- JUST DON'T FEEL YOU HAVE TO DO THAT-- YOU DON'T- STAY INVOLVED WITH CARDBOARDS OR A PINK ENVELOPE WITH THE $1 FUN FUND-- DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO BUY A CHICKEN BRICK  IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH IT..  BUT THERE ARE ALOT OF YOU CAMERA PEOPLE TO WHOM A FEW $10  BRICKS ARE NOT A FINANCIAL BURDEN...  AND FOR THOSE PEOPLE-- PLEASE  DO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT US--  WE NEED IT WITH THE PLanning  OF KEEPING THE LITTERS COMING, WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU .

MAYBE I SHOUJD SAY BENTLEY'S LOVE LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

I HAVE BEEN IN THE POSITION OF NOT HAVING AN EXTRA $10 TO GIVE TO ANYONE.  WHEN THE KIDS WERE YOUNG I HAD A $40 BILL AT THE GROCERY STORE  -- WORTHENS MARKET IN LYNNFIELD---  IT TOOK ME MONTHS OF EMBARASSMENT TO GET THAT PAID OFF... SO I KNOW...

PLEASE-- STAY INVOLVED-- AND IF YOU CAN HELP SUPPORT THE PUPS-- PLEASE DO...

*********

I AM ON THE NEW COMPUTER AND NOT NEARLY AS NERVOUS AS I WAS YESTERDAY... I DID FIND OUT-- AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WITH APPLE ETC.. THE DVD PLAYER IS AN EXTERNAL ONE- AND SO HELP ME-- THE TECH SUPPORT TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO THE STORE AND COMPLAIN THAT WE WERE NOT TOLD IT WAS AN EXTRA.. AND THEY MIGHT GIVE US ONE... 

MARIA-- GO FOR IT...

********

WILLIAM HUBER SAYS THE LIGHT FOR THE DAY IS PROJECTED TO BE FLAT...

I BET THAT IS A NEW WEATHER REPORT FOR YOU --- SO HE IS SUGGESTING  THE GOLF COURSE LATER IN THE WEEK..   SUITS ME FINE  AS I THINK WE COULD SPEND ANOTHER MINUTE OR TWO GETTING THE DOGS READY...

AND SO IT GOES...

aug  26,2013

I AM ON THE NEW COMPUTER  AND VERY NERVOUS--   NO WAY CAN I ANTICIPATE WHAT SOME OTHER PROGRAMMER HAS DECIDED I WOULD LIKE THIS MACHINE TO DO...  

BUT SEEING AS I ONLY EMAIL 2 PEOPLE DIRECTLY NOW-- AND THE REST THRU CONSTANT CONTACT ( SO AOL DOESN'T DECIDE  THAT I AM SPAM)   AND THEN THE BLOG OFF OUR WEB  FOR ALL THE PEOPLE  WHO DON'T GET IT SOME OTHER WAY... I AM GONNA RISK IT.

FANTASTIC STEW YESTERDAY.. WITH GREAT EFFORT WE GOT THE FRAMING UP FOR AN EXTENSION ON THE T TENT-- AND MEGAN SAT ON THE NEWLY PAINTED TABLES - THUS PROVING  THE QUICK DRYING PAINT ACTUALLY DOES.

DOING THIGS  PIECEMEAL --- AKA  FERNOW--- GIVES US A CHANCE TO ADJUST AS WE GO ON.-- TEH ONLY TARP WE HAD MORE THA20 FEET-- TOI GO OVER THE  10 FOOT EXTENSILN  IS ON Y 8'WIDE-- BUT IN USING IT "FERNOW" WE DISCOVERED THE WHITE LETTING LIGHT THRU... BUT NOT SUNLIGHT TYPE -- OVERHEAD WAS VERY PLEASENT.. MEANING I SHOLD NOT HAVE ORDERED THE   GREEEN TARP FROM FARMTEK...  NOT A BIG DEAL- BUT I WILL TRY AND CANCEL IT TODAY AND GET  SOME LIKE THE ARENA.

THE Natural lighting of the arean  IS WONDERFUL-- 

THE OTHER ADJUSTMENT--- THE PILE OF COBBLESTONES SHELIA HAD PLANNED FOR THE AREA AROUND MARY-S  FINAL RESTING PLACE  IS DWINDLING-- WE NEED TO GO GT MORE TODAY... 0R TOMORROW-----THEY WILL BE NEW-- UNLESS......CRAIGS LIST HERE WE CFOME.

ALONG WITH USED SPLIT RAILS-- USED IS BETTER...

*******

I AM THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE THAT STEVE HAS BEEN JOINED BY DAN IN THE  MEAT PROCESSING DIVISION  ..  IF YOU REMEMBER  WE SHREAD THE NEARLY FROZEN BEEF  WITH A WOOD CHOPPER  IN A PROCESS OSHA WOULD NEVER APPROVE..  THE GARAGE WHICH ONCE HOUSED TOM'S SPOTLESS CAR- IS NOW DECORATED WITH A VERY LIGHT COIVERING OF  SHREADED BEEF.

STEVE ( ONE OF THE FEW WHO DARES OPERATE THE HOT PRESSURE WASHER) SAID HE WOULD TRY AND GET AT THE BACK DECK  BEFORE ANNE  REFUSES TO COME HERE TIL WE GET IT PAINTED... 

 WE ARE USED TO IT  BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT IT IS SHABBY.-- THE WHITE COAT OF PAINT WE PUT ON IT 15 YEARS AGO  WAS A "FERNOW" APPLICATION AND WE NEVER GOT TO PUTTING ON THE SECOND COAT.

***********

SO FAR  WE HAVE ALOT OF THINGS GOING RIGHT FOR US  

*******

SOME THINGS  ARE MORE THAN RIGHT--

THIS MAIL CALL   5PM   --- AT THE MOMENT WE NEED MORE PINK ENVELOPES WITH  A DOLLAR OR TWO AND A FUNNY PICCTURE OR SHORT SAYING WE CAN PUT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA..  WE HAVE ENOUGH FLUFFIES TO GET US THRU SCARLOTT'S IMPENDING CONFINEEMENT - SHOULD SHE PROVE TO BE "WITH CHILD" 

 WE CERTAINLY NEED TO HAVE THE BRICKS SOLD-- THAT IS OUR BASE FOR ALL PUPPY EXPENSES- WITH OLNE EYE ON SCARLOTT AND  OPAL SMILILNG INTHE REAR... WE HAVE TO STAY AHEAD OF IT-- AND THOSE FOOLISH BRICKS ARE WHAT MATTERS.

I AM TRUSTING YOU WILL ALL STAY WITH US--- AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW ON THE WISH LIST  WHEN SUPPLIES DWINDLE WHEATHER IT IS  PAUL NEWMANS DOG FOOD   OR THOSE COFFEE GIZMOS.. GIVE US A CHANCE TO USE UP WHAT WE HAVE...

I WILL NOW SEND THIS-- I HOPE---

 LET US PRAY  

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

For those of you who doubt what a SDP Dane can allow you to do have not met Charlie. Just a couple years ago I was restricted to a wheel chair and/or walker because of balance issues. After working and training with Charlie under the guidance of the SDP staff, I was able to walk a 3K fundraising event and able to be part of raising over 2 million dollars for veterans with TBI/PTSD.

THanks to Charlie, I am able to live my life just like everyone else. I ask for no special treatment other than DON'T MESS WITH MY BEST BUDDY! He is with me. Thanks to all the staff at SDP and will be scheduling a visit soon.

Steve and Charlie

AND I REALIZED WE JUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO PUT COBBLESDTONES IN THE TENT EXTENSION... THEY WON'T BE USED-- BUT WE COUDL DO IT... BLESS SHELIA'S DUMP TRUCK

**********

THE OTHER MOST EXCITING THING IS-- I DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHO IS HERE OVERNIGHT AND WHERE THEY SLEPT.. APPARENTLY EVERYONE FOUND A BED OR REASONABLE FACCIMMILE.

HAVING SPECTATORS FOR MAIL CLL IS ANOTHER NEW AND EXCITING EPISODE.

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

AS FOR EPISODES--- WE HAVE A CALL FOR SOME DANES FOR A PHOTO SHOOT NEXT FRIDAY-- JANINE WILL DO IT-- MAYBE WITH SPECTATORS -- YET TO BE DETERMINED IT IS FOR VELCRO-- SO WATCH FOR IT.

WE HAVE SEVERAL GOOD CALENDAR IDEAS AND WILLIAM WILL APPARENTLY BE ABLE TO TRY THEM NEXT WEEK..

WE CAN PRACTICE TODAY WITH THE GOLF CARTS.

******

NICE DAYS THE PUPS GO OUTSIDE-- TO THE AREA BY THE T TENT

SEVERAL CAMERA PEOPLE HAVE ASKED WE SOMEHO GET THOS E ON CAMERA TOO--- I DUNNO---

I WILL CHECK WITH TIM ABOUT CHANGING THE ANGLE ON THE LEAF CAMERA-- WHICH IS RIGHT WHERE THE PUPS ARE.

SHOULD BE A GOOD STEW DAY

IT WILL BE AN EXCITING STEW DAY IF THE PAINT IS NOT QUITE DRY ON THE NEW PICNIC TABLES

AUG  24,  2013

this dd started out painfully. we have 2 new apples-- i started the dd there will all kinds of confidence- and then an email i needed to read pertaining to a photo shoot in boston with a dane--- just disappeared... so maria took over and i ran for my old annoying one..

be forewarned the next few days could be strange as i try an duse the apple--- i have been ibm my entire computer life-- and we all know how easily i retrain....

HA !

 

WE ARE ENTERTSINING HE CONCEPT  OF HIRING ANOTHER FULL TIME KENNEL/HANDLER  TO HELP BOTH TRACY AND MARIA/MEGAN ( AND ME)  ONLY THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAVE A WELL BEHAVED DOG OF THEIR OWN NEED APPL;Y  ... THAT IS NOT TRICK TRAINED OR NECESSARILY OBEDIENDC SHOW TYPE,,, JUST HAPPY  RELAXED NICE DOG TYPE...

it will be quick-- today will be the day we increase the size of the t tent--- and the lumber is in the coa van-- but the posts are up. add a few nails and we should be covered by noon....

anyone seen with a level or t- square will be asked to shove it somewhere.

 functionality is the key word. --- and we will be covering it with tarp/canvas... as soon as i locate it.. i know we have an unused big brown tarp somewhere...

so here is a cut and paste to entertain you in the meantime...

 

You requested a paragraph describing the impact Priya has made on Linda's life. I think Priya's impact can best be illustrated by relating an experience we had a few days ago. We had been out shopping and were leaving the store to return to the car. As we neared the curb I sensed Linda wobbling a little, and reflexively put out my arm so she could use it to stabilize herself as she has done countless times before. But Priya sensed the wobble first. She had already braced, and Linda was using her to get balanced again before my arm was even in the picture. As they stepped down the curb together, Linda turned to me with a grin and said, "You don't need to do that any more. We've got this."

So I have lost my job, and I couldn't be more grateful. Priya has given Linda back her independence, and with that her confidence, and her self- esteem. Linda is doing things she hasn't done in a very long time because she knows she can.

There will never be enough thank-yous for that.

I JUST HAD TO BUY A SHEWEE-- ( SEE YESTERDAYS'S WOMAN'S URINIAL STORY) BEING ONE OF THE ORIGIONAL INVENTORS I HAD TO SPEND THE $18 OUT OF CURIOSITY..

THERE IS ALSO SOME $18 LESSON TO BE LEARNED-- BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS EXCEPT MAYBE "SHE WHO HESITATES IS LOST???"

I COULD HAVE DOZENS OF PATENTS BY NOW-- EXCEPT I HAVE NO FAITH IN TH E PROCESS... MY FATHER INVENTED THE RAMP YOU SEE ON ALMOST EVERY TRUCK TOWING A TRAILER WITH A BACK HOE-- I HAVE THE ORIGIONAL PATENT FOR THAT ON THE WALL SOMEWHERE--- 1945--- IF I HAD A PENNY FOR EVERY RAMP I SEE I WOUD BE EXTREMEMLY WEALTHY.

IT IS A RIGHT ANGLE THAT FLIPS DOWN TO MAKE A VERY STURDY RAMP...

SOME COMPANY CHANGED THE TYPE HINDGE AND BROKE THE PATENT RIGHTS SO FATHER NEVER GOT MUCH MORE THAN EXP[ENSES OUT OF THE PATENT PROCESS.

SO I BETTER STICK TO DOG TRAINING.

PAUL GETS THE GENU\IUS OF THE DAY AWARD FOR YESTERDAY.

SEEMS LIKE SOME DANM FOOL'S ( ME) VERSION OF DIG SAFE IS TO TURN OFF ALL THEH BREAKERS AND DIG ANYWAY.

 THERE ARE SO AMNY WIRES AROUND HERE FROM 30 YEARS OF "FER NOW" APPLICATIONS..

YESTERDAY STANDING LOOKING IN T HE HOLE I WAS DIGGING WHERE I HAD PULLED UP A WIRE, IT THEN BECAME-- WHICH END IS LIVE? I.E. DOES THE "FEED" GO TO THE POST-- THEN THE CHICKEN COOP-- THEN THE T TENT- OR T TENT, POST THEN COOP-- OF EVEN POST T TENT THEN COOP...

A LIFE THREATENING LOGIC PROBLEM..

 WHICH PAUL FIXED

WHICH IS WHY THE HOUSE CAMERA WS OFF MOST OF THE DAY.

IT ALSO DEFINED THE PROBLEM OF WHERE TO LOOK WHEN THE HOUSE CAMERA GOES OFF.

 

ANYWAY HE FIXED IT WTH ANOTHER FER NOW -- BECAUSE JEFF IS COMING THE DAY AFTER LABOR DAY TO PUT IN A PROPER CONDUIT FOR A PROPER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO THE T TENT..

RIGHT NOW IT IS AN UNDERGROUND WIRE FROME THE BARN 150 FEET AWAY AND THE ELECTRICAL DROP IS SIGNIFICNT...

ALSO SINCE I PULLED UP THE WIRE-- IT IS KAPUT COMPLETELY..

 *****************

SO THE HOLES FOR THE 3 POSTS ARE DUG AND PIECES OF STRING FROM MY MONKEY FIST DEPARTMENT ARE STRUNG WAITING FOR SOMEONE ?SHELIA? ?MEGAN? TO APPEAR TODAY TO SLIDE THE POSTS IN PLACE AND TIE UP WITH THE STRING SO WE CAN SET CONCRETE.

A 150 POUND POST CAN BE HELD IN PLACE WITH DENTAL FLOSS AS LONG AS IT IS PERPENDICULAR.. ALL THE WEIGHT IS ON THE BOTTOM.. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET THE BOTTOM IN THE RIGHT PLACE, ADD STONES AND A BAGO OF CONCREETE AND WE SHOUJLD HAVE ANOTHER 10 FEET OF T TENT FOR THE 2 NEW TABLES... COVERED WITH A TARP "FERNOW"

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

AND THEN THE REALLY BIG NEWS -- TOWER OF HOPE IS GOING TO SPONSER 3 GRADUATES BECKY-- JIM -- AND MAUREEN- THIS WILL ENABLE US TO TRY AND FIND/ HIRE ANOTHER ASSISTANT TRAINER-- NOT GOING TO BE EASY-- BECAUSE WE TRAIN DIFFERENTLY THAN THE USUAL CLICKER FANCY WORD BUNCH.

I WOULD LOVE TO INTERVIEW ANYONE WITH A WELL BEHAVED DOG THAT IS MY CRITERIA FOR BEING A TRAINER...

 

MARIA -- MEGAQN-- AND I ALL AGREE THE NEXT BEST WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT ARE DEVLIN AND LAURA -- WHO UNFORTUNATELY ARE 13 YEARS OLD AND HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL. -

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO'S DOGS ARE PERFECT- AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE YOU WOULD THINK WOULD HAVE PERFECT DOGS- AND DON'T.

 ANN GETCHELL IS ONE-- SHE HAS - AT ANY MOMENT 3 TO 7 DOGS WHO ARE HAPPY BOUNCY DOG S-- SHE WAS THRILLED TO SHOW ME SHE HAD TRAINED ONE TO SIT FOR A COOKIE. LOVE HER DEARLY -- BUT THIS IS NOT WHAT WE NEED TO HIRE FOR A TRAINER... THERE IS ONE OUT OF THE HORSE WORLD - GAIL WONG - I BORROWED HER DOG FOR A COMMERDCIAL ONCE--GAIL NEVER SAYS MUCH TO HER DOG AND IT BEHAVED PERRFECTLY. BUT GAIL IS MY AGE--- WE NEED SOMEONE YOUNGER WHO CAN ALSO PICK UP THE SLACK OF GROUNDS KEEPER TYPE HELP TOO.

SO KEEP YOU EYES OPEN----

MUST HAVE PERFECT DOG -

AND PREFERABLY NEVER READ A BOOK ON DOG TRQAINING.

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

AND THEN THERE IS THE COMPUTER-- WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DONATION TO REPLACE THIS THING WHICH UPSETS ME EVERY MORNING-- AND IS SOOOOOO SLOW. AND ORNERY.

MARIA IS A COMPUTER GURU AND SHE HAS DECIDED WHICH TO GET...-

 THERE IS A SHORT WINDOW HWERE-- WHERE THE DESK INTHE OVERFLOW ROOM IS AVAILABLE TO TAKE THIS COMPUTER WHILE WE SET UP THHE OTHER-- THAT DESK SHOWS SIGNS OF ATTRACTING CLUTTER-- YOU KNOW THE OLD

"CLUTTER WILL ACCUMULATE TO FILL AVAILABLE SPACE" ROUTINE.. SO WE BETTER GET THE NEW IN HERE AND GET IT OPERATIONAL..

 A BIG PROBLEM IS QUICKEN-- I WOULD LOVE TO START A NEW QUICKEN-- THE OTHER WORKS BUT IS SOOOOO GUMMED UP WITH EXTRA CRAP---- BEST WORD... CRAP---

LOTS OF FERNOWS LIKE IS IT THE--- COOP--- OR ESSEX COUNTY COOP -- OR SEVERASL MISSPELLED VERSIONS LIKE ESEX CO COOP-- OR COOPERATIVE .. ALL THE SAME ACCOUNT... STUFF LIKE THAT.

**********

AND THE BOOK-- I THOUGHT I WAS DONE-- AND JANINE CAME UP WITH SOME TRAINING PARAGRAPHS WHICH PROVES SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WE DO ANYWAY-- SHE TURNS OUT A WELL TRAINED DOG WITH NO KNOWN METHOD TO HER TRAINING.

 PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING

JANINE IS TOO HIGH POWERED TO WORK AROUND HERE-- SHE SHOWS UP TO USE THE WASHING MACHINE -- OR THE HORSE TRAILER- AND I JUST HOLD MY BREATH AS SHE ZIPS THRU MUTTERING ABOUT HER SON'S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE.

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

TODAY'S SCHEDULE?

PLANT THE POSTS-- A MUST DO. SHOULD HAVE DOEN THAT YESTERDAY --- SHELIA MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP TODAY-- THEY ARE SELLING THEIR HOUSE AND SHE HSS TO GET OUT-- WITH HER 5 DOGS--- ALL HANDICAPPED --- WE MUST BE ABLE TO FIND A PLACE FOR THEM AROUND HERE...

 EARLENE HAS BOUGHT A REFRIDGE FOR TEH T TENT - SO THEY MAY DELIVER IT -- OR WE COULD PICK IT UP-- SHE IS ORGANIZING THAT...

******

ALSO SINCE ANN HEQARD ABOUT THE TOWER OF HOPE SHE SAID "IF YOU DON'T PAINT AND DRESS UP THAT BACK DECK I WILL QUIT" SHE HAS A VERY GOOD POINT-- IT IS TERRIBLE LOOKING AS LESS THAN 1/2 THE ORIGIONAL PAINT IS STILL THERE--- ORIGIONAL AS IN 25 YEARS AGO ORIGIONAL ---WITH SOME OF THE PEALING PAINT HANGING IN THE BREEZES...

 IT IS VERY TIRED LOOKING... MAYBE MEAT STEVE CAN HOT SPRAY THE PAINT OFF SO WE COULD START AGAIN???

IF I SET UP THE SPRAYER I WOULD BE TOO TIRED TO ACTUALY USE IT... BUT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

AUG 22, 2013

AUG 22, 2013

I MISSED THE BOAT-- BY 2 WEEKS .

MAYBE I HAVE NOT TOLD THJIS STORY-- I AM SOOOOO UPSET...

AND I DON'T THINK IT IS IN THE BOOK...

SEE.... I HAD A 4 H CLUB OF ALL GIRLS-- AND WE CONSTANTLY WENT PLACES HAULING THE 53 FOOT TRAILER OF THIER HORSES AND PONIES FOR LONG DISTANCE TRAIL RIDING.

GIVEN ENOUGH GIRLS AND ENOUGH TIME SITTIN G AROUND WQAITIN G FOR THEM OUTSIDE LADIES ROOMS OR BEHIND TREES... I DECIDED TO INVENT SOMETHING TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS..

I TOOK A SMALL IVORY SOAP DISHWASHING DETERGENT BOTTLE AND SLICED IT AT AN ANGLE-- THIS GAVE ME A SHORT BUT EFFECTIVE IMATATION BOY'S PART......WITH A FEW ADJUSTMENTS IT WORKED VERY WELL--

AND I APPLIED FOR A PATENT--- IT PASSED THE BOSTON PATTENT OFFICE- AND WENT TO WSHINGTON... WHERE SOMEONE BEAT ME BY 2 WEEKS

IN THE MEANTIME---A FRIEND- HOPE NUTTER- AND I TESTED THESE THINGS OUT ONE NOTABLE NIGHT AT AUGISTINES RESTAURANT IN SAUGUS.... IT WAS A LITLE CROWDED THAT NIGHT- I STOOD WAITING AS HOPE WENT FIRST-- FROM THE SOUND I COULD TELL IT WAS WORKING... UNTIL THE WOMAN NEXT TO ME SAID----

"HIS FEET ARE POINTING THE WRONG WAY FOR A LADIES ROOM."

THUS ENDETH MY TRYING TO PATENT ANYTHING..

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

TODAY I GOT THIS EMAIL FROM SHEILA

She said she trained police for 30 years

One of the things the cadets had to do was stand in the roadway for 14 hours directing traffic

Without leaving the spot.....the women would wear a she-wee

I SPENT TIME WITH ANNE YESTERDAY TRYING TO OUTDO MOTHER NATURE.

WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO SHOULD BE BRED TO WHICH TO TRY

AND ALWAYS HAVE ONLY ONE LITTER IN THE HOUSE AT A TIME

BREEDING A FEMALE EVERY 2 MONTHS AND HER HAVING 5-6 PUPS WOULD BE IDEAL

WE HAVE SCARLOTT BRED WITH UNKNOWN PREGNANCY.. QAND THERE SITS OPAL LOVING THE PUPPIES

MAYBE WANTING SOME OF HER OWN... SO I TOLD HER IT WOULD BE NICE IF SHE COULD MANAGE TO COME

IN HEAT IN MID OCTOBER.

SCARLOTT WILL BE DUE ABOUT THE TIME THESE PEOPLE ARRIVE FOR THE "RETREAT" WHATEVER..

AS I HAVE SAID-- WE HAVE A FARM, TO RUN FIRST AND FOREMOST... BUT IT COULD BE EXCITING--

PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO WATCH IT ON CAMERA

WHICH THIS MORMING IS OFF LINE...

AND I BEST GET T IT...

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

TODAY SCHEDULE---

IF MEGAN CAN GO GET ME 3 POSTS I WILL TRY AND STICK THEM IN HT GROUND

SO WE CAN EXTEND THE T TEN T AT LEAST WITH CANVAS AT THE MOMETN.

THERE ARE LOT OF "FER NOW" 'S AROUND HERE--

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

THE 2 PICNIC TABLES ARE NOW BLUE THANKS TO A BUNCH OF KIDS FROM IRELAND SHELAI BROUGHT ROUND...

THERE IS A GROUP OF 1/2 CATHOLICS AND 1/2 PROTESTANT SPENDING 2 WEEKS HERE WORKING TOGETHER

SO WHERE CAN WE PARK 36 CARS??? FOR THIS OCTOBER FEST???? JULIET SAYS TO EXPECT AT LEAST THAT NUMBER OF CARS--IT BEING THE TOPSFIELD FAIR WEEK WE CAN'T PARK THEM IN TOPSFIELD AND CARPOOL SO IT IS THE ROAD BEHIND THE ARENA OR THE FLAT FIELD...

KITTY CAN YOU HAVE THE JOB OF SEEING WHAT THE TOWN OF IPSWICH SAYS ABOUT HOOD POND AND/OR PONTECHERRY ROAD??? PARKING?? IT IS A TOWN ROAD I THINK...

THE FLAT FIELD WOULD BE FINE--- EVEN IF WE HAVE A MUDDY DOWNPOUR WE CAN GET PEOPLE PULLED OUT WITH THE TRACTOR. THAT HAS WORKED BEFORE...

 *****************

SHE ALSO ASKED IF I WOULD GET A GUEST BOOK- OR SHOULD SHE..

LET ME GET ONE THING STRAIGHT FROM THE START-- I AM NOT CAPABLE OF DEALING WITH DETAILS LIKE THE SELECTION OF THE COLOR OF THE COVER ON THE GUEST BOOK .

 I WILL FIGURE OUT THINGS LIKE PORTAPOTTIES AND PARKING-- BUT THIS IS A FARM WHICH HAS TO FUNCTION WHETHER OR NOT AN EXTRA 100 PEOPLE ARE WANDERING AROUND.

ALL THE VOLUNTEERS SEEM TO HAVE THE PICTURE THAT IT IS ALL HANDS ON DECK... WHICH IN ITSELF WILL BE ANOTHER 10 CARS OR SO... WHILE MAINTAINING AMBULANCE ACCESS.

AS FOR THE FOOD.. I WILL TAKE ORDERS FOR SAT NIGHT CLAMBAKE--- AND GET THAT ORDERED--

MARK SAID HE OR SOMEONE COULD GRILL FOR SUNDAY STEW... HE WOULD BE BETTER TAKING PICTURES-- I WOULD JUST PREFER A BIG POT OF CHICKEN AND VGGIES STEW OVER THE FIRE...

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

I THOUGHT OF A PERFECT CHORE FOR THE WEEKEND... RE-ARRAINGE AND REPLACE THE RAILS ON THE SPLIT RAIL FENCING. IT HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT EVERY 10 YEARS-- AND IT IS A RELATIVELY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY-- 50 PEOPLE WANDERING AROUND WITH 10 ' RAILS COUDLNT GET INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE IT DONE.

I WILL TRY AND ORDER A PALLETT-- JANINE ( DID THIS LAST TIME) POINTS OUT-- NEW RAILS ARE A BUGGER TO GET IN PLACE-- OLD- USED WOULD BE BETTER TO INSTALL... BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN FIND THEM.. WILL TRY.

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

NEWS?

MARIA NOW HAS THE WHATEVER MEGAN AND I HAD - LAST HEARD FROM SHE WAS NOT SURE SHE WOULD SURVIVE.

IT DOES MAKE YOU LOOSE WEIGHT I LOST 6 POUNDS-

UNHAPPILY I HAVE FOUND THEM AGAIN...

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

MEANWHILE-- TODAY'S GOAL

I HOPE TODAY'S CHORE OF EXTENDIGN THE T TENT WILL BE DONE BY NAP TIME.. IF SHELAI CAN COME ROUND WITH HER DUMP TRUCK AND WORK GLOVES I BET WE CAN DO THAT...

 THEN THOSE 2 NEW/USED PICNIC TBLES CAN FIT INTHAT AREA-- SOLVING ANOTHER PROBLEM

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

EARLENE-- WE ARE WITHIN DAYS OF NEEDING TO FIND A FRIDGE-- SO GET YOUR ADVIC READY...

***********

YESTERDAY'S DISCOVERY WAAS ... THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A ROLL OFF FREEZER THAT MCDONALDS ETDC USE.. A FREE STANDING-- I HAVE SEEN THEM BEHIND RESTAURANTS--

THAT IS REALLY FOR THE MEAT PROJECT--

I STILL THINK WE SHOULD HAVE ICE CREAM CAPABILITIES IN THE T TENT...I.E. A FRIDGE/FREEZER COMBO.

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

GOT TO 'TICK OFF' ONE LARGE PROJECT A DAY

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

JEFF MASTERSSSSSSSON WILL REDO THE DRYWELL IN THE BARN AND POUR A LITTLE CONCRETE HERE AND THERE -- STARTING THE DAY AFTER LABOR DAY.

HE WILL ALSO PUT IN A PIPE FOR ELECT FROM LAUNDRY TO T TENT...

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

AND PEOPLE ARE BEGINNING TO WRITE THEIR LIFETIME EXPERIENCE WITH OUR SERV DOGS.. HERE IS TODAY'S

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

Hi Carlene!

Harry and I are doing well. We are planning another visit to the naval hospital this week and he is excited to go make people happy! I noticed that you wrote that earlene would be looking for letters about how the dogs have improved our lives and my immediate thought was from early last week. There has been a bit of rain and I was laying on the couch in a lot of pain and very stiff. Nerve pain also is just in a world of its own. The joy of injuries like this are that they come and go but when they come they sure make certain that you know they are there. Well I was laying on the couch just terribly uncomfortable (I save the expression in pain for very selective moments now after what I went through) and angry,angry that I am far to young to be feeling this broken and then this giant black and white head just laid his head on the side of mine and snuggled closer to me. It is not an obvious fall down moment where a service dog physically gets you up but it is certainly a moment where he picked me up and reminded me how lucky I am and how he is here for me. I can't help but tell every Marine we run into about SDP because I feel so lucky to have become part of the group and I want the world to know! There are so many others who can benefit from this amazing group. there are no words to describe the benefits that I am gifted with because of your generosity!
-Harry and Beth-

I AM NOT YELLING-- I CAN NOT SEE the small print

Hi Carlene,

Woof! I thought I should paw out a line or two to let you know how things are going at my new job.

If I do say so myself and I do, I am doing splendidly. Thanks to my upbringing and training I am working out to be a fabulous service dog for my new partner! She is always telling me how good I am and how much I help her. I have stopped her from falling a few times, I help her up and down stairs ( something I'm getting really good at) and I am figuring out when she's having "shaky" days and stay close " just in case ". She's been at the hospital a bit lately and I've been a really good girl and laid patiently on my yoga mat while she got her treatment. I like my yoga mat!

I also really like my new family. When I'm not working I have 3 other dogs, 2 cats and 2 parrots to play with. I get to run in a huge yard and I'm so much faster than those silly retrievers. I'm still trying to figure out why the grey birds keep telling me to "leave it". If you throw me your food, don't tell me to leave it! And the cats? Well, I'm not sure what they do but, they are fun to follow around.

I also get to sleep on comfy beds and even the big bed when I want. All while being told how beautiful I am.

Yes, I think I like my new job and don't plan on resigning anytime soon.

Woof Woof,

Willow

I AM NOT YELLING-- I CAN NOT SEE the small print

AUG 19, 2013

IF A TREE FALLS IN THE FOREST DOES IT MAKE A SOUND?

DANM RIGHT IT DOES--- IT ALSO BLOCKS THE DRIVEWAY SND KNOCKS DOWN A FENCE.

GRACE SAVED EH DAY WITH HER TRUSTY LITTLE HAND SAW -- SHE CUT OFF THE TOP AND I SHOVED IT WITH THE TRACTOR... IT IS NOT OUT OF THE WAY 100% SO PAY ATTENTION

WHY DOES SHE CARRY A SAW-? HEAVEN KNOWS BUT IT CERTAINLNY WAS HANDY--

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

BIG STEW CROWD- LOTSA DOGS.. NO DOG FIGHTS--

SERVERAL CLOSE CALLS-- THEY CAN BE ALL FRIENDLY-- BUT IF THEY EVER GOT GOING IT WOULD BE A BLOODBATH-- SO I AM ALWAYS NERVOUS--

ALL IT TAKES IS THE EXCITEMENT LEVEL TO RISE-- LIKE A LOOSE CHICKEN-- AND THEY WOULD BITE THE DOG NEXT TO THEM JUST FOR FUN...THEN EVERY LOSE DOG WOULD PILE IN...

*******

I REMEMBER.....ALL TOO WELL.. I HAD 6 DOGS IN "A" I AS JUST CUTTING BRUSH-- NO BIG DEAL-- AND THE OLD ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER CAME UP THE DRIVEWAY WITH S BUNCH OF BARKING DOGS IN HIS TRUCK...

THIS LOVELY CASUAL GROUP OF MY 6-- NO WHERE'S NEAR HIS TRUCK STARTED IN- I DID NOT HAVE A WHIFFLE BAT WITH ME AND TRIED TO GET THEM SEPARATED WHILE HE STOOD AT THE GATE AND WATCHED... IT TOOK FOREVER--BLOOD FLOWED-- MINE TOO...

 BUT I FINALLY GOT THEM ALL TO QUIT-- HE SAID "I DON'T KNOW ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD HAVE EVEN TRIED TO DO THAT" - AND HE WAS RIGHT-- NO WAY SHOULD YOU GET IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOG FIGHT--

I ALWAYS TELL VOLUNTEERS IF THEY FIGHT-- GO HAVE COFFEE AND WE WILL DEAL WITH WHATEVER WHEN THEY ARE THRU---

WHICH IS WHY I SAY ONLY 2 DOGS LOOSE UNSUPERVISED AT A TIME... ONE ON ONE IS FINE-- IT IS WHEN 2 TACKLE ONE THAT ONE COULD GET BADLY HURT .

AND NO ONE DOG HERE IS INNOCENT--- BAILEY INCLUDED---

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

I ALSO REMEMBER LINDA ( NEW YORK DANE BREEDER) SHE WAS SHORT-- ROUND-- ITALIAN--AND FUNNY.

2 OF HER STUD DOGS GOT GOING AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO BREAK IT UP, ONE SPUN , GRABBED HER VERY AMPLE POSTERIER- AND HUNG ON.... AT WHICH POINT SHE YELLED "YOU'VE GOT MOMMY'S ASSTERIOR"

 A LINE I ALWAYS REMEMBER--

 DON'T GET IN THE MIDDLE.

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

AND IT WAS EARLENE'S BIRTHDAY--- LOTSA CAKE-- WHICH WE ATE...

FUN WAS HAD BY ALL..

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

LARRY WAS HERE FROM PENNA LOOKING FOR A DOG-- WE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME HELP BY INTRODUCING THE IDEA OF HANGING ROPES AROUND THE HOUSE FOR BALLANCE-- HE HAS GREAT UPPER BODY STRENGHT AND COULD GET UP OFF THE FLOOR USING A ROPE,.. A VERY STRONG ROPE-- BOLTED TO A BEAM IN THE CIELING... HE IS NOT LIGHT.. BUT IT WORKED.

*****

MARIA IS SICK-- WHATEVER I HAD ... SHE NOW HAS.. HER EYEBALLS ARE HOT..... MEGAN STARTED IT ALL COUPLE WEEKS AGO...

 *************

PLAN OF THE DAY

 

PLANNING FOR A MEETING WITH JEFF MASTERSON TUESDAY MORNING..

BIG PLANS AFOOT

 

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

 

HAPPY  19TH OF THE MONTH---

 

THAT TAKES CARE OF ALL THE BIRTHDAYS,ANIVERSIERIES AND PUBLIC HOLIDAYS I CAN NEVER REMEMBER

AUG 18,2013

this house was never cleaner-- that is a fact-- even brand new it was not this clean.... and a lot has to do with the new mops.- but it has even more to do with

several burdens i have carried since childhood could so easily have changed the course of my life.

drummed into me by my mother ( along with the 500 word spelling test) was "look at that beautiful hardwood flooring"---. "pick the pebbles out of those sneakers before they scratch my nice hardwood flooring"---- "we can't have a dog like that - it would scratchmy the beautiful hardwood flooring"-- danm hardwood flooring worshiping was a religion---

she had oriental rugs-- bless those--- you could spill anything and it would not show-- full plate of spagetti- blended right in..

 but then we moved and she had a wall to wall-- light grey-- perfect for showing any possible contaminant-- except for all the pollen and dust mites living under the sofa's that you could not simply slide out of the way and clean behind..

and when we built this place tom wanted wall to wall - which started my rather intimate relationship with mr oreck who made several guarentees no sane man ever should.

 so by 70 i have had vast experience with all those half vast concepts and now have spent ?10 k on plywood and vinyl-- which i am anxious to share the concept of cleanliness to all you dd readers. forget the beautiful ads about sunlight on a room with wall to wall. even a small dog with a baldder infection can ruin that in a matter of hours. and a wonderful dane would probably pull it up and shread it.

so it is not just the mops( thank ll you cp's -- i have one of my very own and enjoyed wshing the bthroom floor at 4am today) at 5am i had a very short serrvice to worship th e plywood and vinyl which has saved service dog project... without it we could not be...

so there

she had perfect 5 star reviews which she lost when she send in a new edition wirh corrected spelling.

so she needs people to sing the praises of the book again
