this is going to be a big one..
and i would like all of you CP'S TO watch the feeding process-- and report to me...
megan has it down pat... she loads up with a pocket full of milk bones so after they have eaten
she asks each one to step into their kennel, no excitement just go in-- then THEY TURN AROUND EXPECTING HER TO GIVE THEM A TREAT-- AND SHE DOES-- HAND FEEDING THEM THE MILK BONE... THEY EXPECT IT AND THEY GET IT.
NOW... I HAVE SEEN OTHERS THROW THE MILK BONE ONTO THE FLOOR--UNACCEPTABLE !!!!
IT ONLY WOULD TAKE A SPLIT SEC OND MORE FOR YOU TO BE POLITE AND WAIT TIL THE PUP TURNS AROUND AND HAND FEED THEM THE TREAT.
AND I HAVE SEEN THE OCCASION WHEN THE DOG TURNS AROUND AND THE PERSON FEEDING JUST WALKS AWAY...
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE--- RUDE BEHAVIOR.
NOW MEGAN--- OCCASIONALLY FORGETS THE MILK BONES SO AS SHE IS FEEDING THEM SHE SNEAKS OUT A COUPLE PELLETS OF THEIR USUALL FOOD--AND THEY ARE DELIGHTED TO GET IT-- I HAVE ALWAYS SAID IT IS NOT THE QUANTITY. IT IS THE GESTURE--- AND IF IT IS THE GESTURE THEN IT IS EXTREMELY BAD TO FORGET IT.
IF ANYONE HERE DOES NOT HAVE THE EXTRA 4 SECONDS PER DOG ( I HAVE TIMED IT..) YOU JUST LET ME KNOW...
RULE -- EVERY TIME YOU PUT A DOG IN A KENNEL YOU MUST GIVE THEM A TREAT--OUT OF YOUR HAND... THIS MEANS---- BOTH STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS.... AND IT MEANS PLAN AHEAD....
AND NOW I HAVE ALL THE CAMERA PEOPLE WATCHING FOR ME--
***********
AS FOR MY HOT EYEBALLS--- THEY ARE BETTER... BUT SINCE BREATHING AND COUGHING ARE SUCH AN EFFORT, I GET TIRED...SO I AM AFRAID I WON'T GET TOO MUCH DONE TODAY EITHER..
*****
IT WOULD BE OVELY IF I COULD GET THE HOT POWER SPRAYER WORKING AND SHAMPOO THE INSIDE OF THE BARN SINCE THE OUTSIDE IS LOOKING SO "PURPLE"
I DON'T REMEMBE HOW TO WORK IT-- I DO REMEMBER SEVERAL OUT OF CONTROL EPISODES WITH THE THING... SOMETHING ABOUT FLYING FOAM...

IT IS NOW TIME FOR MY EARLY MORNING NAP
