NOW FOR THE DAILY VENTING....
IT IS A BAD THING TO GET UP IN THE MORNING AND BE MADE VERY ANGRY BY SOME EMAIL... BUT WHY SHOULD I NOT SHARE THIS AND MAKE ALL OF YOU ANGRY ALSO...
************
I have an unusual situation. I've just been informed by the UK Animal Reception Center that I will be charged approximately $550 to bring my therapy dog into the UK because she isn't registered with an organization affiliated with Assistance Dogs International.
I am currently traveling in Cambodia and have the relevant prescription from my therapist for my dog. We have traveled to many countries and this is the first time I've encountered this problem. Would it be possible for you to assess my dog via Skype so that she can obtain the requisite registration? I'm happy to send through the relevant documents so that you can see that she is a therapy dog.
***************
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CHANCES ARE THAT THIS IS A PET OWNER WHO IS SQUALKING AT PAYING $550 TO SLIDE AROUND A SLIPPERY SLOPE OF ENTITLEMENTS.
START WITH THIS PERSON DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW A THERAPY DOG IS NOT A SERVICE DOG-- A THERAPY DOG IS A PET DOG THAT WILL PROBABLY KEEP ALL 4 FEET ON THE FLOOR AND LET NURSING HOME PEOPLE PAT THEM WITHOUT BITING ANYONE.
AND FROM THERE...
WHY DOES THIS PERSON THINK THAT A PIECE OF PAPER ( WHICH I COULD PRODUCE ON MY COMPUTER IN 14 SECONDS) WOULD INDICATE HOW WELL THE DOG IS TRAINED...
IT IS FROM HER THERAPIST NOT EVEN AN MD... WHO TRAINED THAT THERAPIST OR IS IT JUST ANYONE WITH A SOFT CHAIR?
WELL I COULD PRODUCE IT IN 14 SECONDS IF MY PRINTER COOPERATED... AND WE KNOW WHAT THAT IS LIKE.....
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT GOING INTO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND NOTICING ALL THE DIPLOMAS ON THE WALL WERE 8 X 10... AND SO EASILY PRODUCED ON A COMPUTER?
THINK.. "THE SHATUPON SOCIETY"
*****
MOVING ON....

GOD BLESS THE BRITISH-- WOULDN'T THEY HAVE THE
UK ANIMAL RECEPTION CENTER-- SOUNDS PLEASANT AND WELCOMING ---- HERE WE HAVE THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WHO DOES NOT CARE IF YOU IMPORT A DOG... HOWEVER IF YOU WANT TO IMPORT JUST THE SPERM YOU NEED ALL KINDS OF SIGNATURES... SOMEWHERE IN THE HISTORY OF THE DAILY DOGGIE IS MY EPISODE OF FEDEXING FROZEN SPERM FROM GERMANY AND HAVING TO PAY A USDA PERSON TO GO SIGN IN THE CANNISTER IN MEMPHIS ( OR WHEREVER)
******
THE OTHER POSITIVE THING ABOUT THAT EMAIL... I AM PLEASED TO SEE THAT ASSISTANCE DOG INTERNATIONAL ( ADI ) HAS THE PRESTIGE OF BEING THE QUALIFYING ORGANIZATION.. AFTER ALL WE... SDP... STRUGGLED TO BECOME ACCREDITED BY THEM-- AND WE ARE WAITING TO BE RE-ACCEDITED EVERY 5 YEARS.
*************
THE PERSON WHO WROTE THAT WAS PLEASANT...
I LOVE PEOPLE WHO SMILE ONLY WHEN THEY WANT SOMETHING... THEN GET NASTY WHEN YOU SAY NO.
******
SO THAT IS VENTING FOR THE DAY..
** WELL MAYBE NOT....
THE CHAIN LINK FENCE FOR THE NEW KENNELS WAS TO BE DONE YESTERDAY-AND WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP-- I WAS VERY GLAD I WAS THE ONE... BECAUSE I CAREFULLY ORDERED "KNUCKLE KNUCKLE" - MEANING BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM WER BENT WITH NO SHARP POINTS... I WROTE THE CHECK ( $6300 ) -- WHEN I BACKED UP TO THE PILE, I NOTICED IT WAS KNUCKLE/POINTED RIGHT AWAY AND SAID :"HOLD IT" IT WAS TO BE KNUCKLE KNUCKLE- AND THE MAN DISMISSED IT WITH " WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT ANYMORE -- IT ALL COMES IN THIS WAY NOW" AND STARTED TO LOAD IT... I QUICKLY SAID - "DON'T TRY AND CASH THE CHECK- THIS STUFF IS USELESS TO ME"-- .. NOW I KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO CUT OFF THE POINT AND BEND THE WIRE DOUBLE...-- $6300 WORTH OF FENCING IS ALOT OF CUTTING AND BENDING-- IT ALSO WILL NOW NOT REST AGAINST THE BOTTOM BAR... SO THEY SHOULD SLIDE IN A FLAT ROD=== OR ATTACH IT EVERY 6 INCHES...
THAT LEFT ME DRIVING AROUND IN MY LOVELY CAR WITH A PROPERLY ATTACHED HORSE TRAILER-- A VERY ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE I HAVE NOT HAD VERY OFTEN...
SO I WENT TO HOME DEPOT TO COLLECT THE FLOOR SCRUBBER TO START THE KENNEL FLOOR PROJECT WITH IT'S 23 STEPS.
I RENTED THE THING FOR A WEEK...
THE ARENA CAMERA WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP TRAC K OF MY PROGRESS--- OR LACK THEREOF
THE 23 STEPS??? DURALL.COM "HOW TO PAINT A CONCRETE FLOOR.."
HAVE AT IT... IT AIN'T SIMPLE.
TRACY'S HUSBAND - WHO DID THE DEAGLE HOUSE FLOOR FOR US IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL AFTER COMPLICATED BACK SURGERY --- SO WE ARE GOING IT ALONE...
****************
ANNNE IS GOING TO PICKUP TESS TODAY-- A PAINFUL SEPARATION-- WE WILL DO WHAT WE CAN TO HELP-- BUT IT IS AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION TO START WITH...

AND I HAVE A BUNCH OF REPORTS TO WRITE
