another full night of sleep scarlott is still fat and happy.
I DID GO TO GEORGE'S AND PICK UP 3 SHOTS OF OXYTOSIN(SP?) AKA PIT SHOT... IT GIVES A BOOST TO CONTRACTIONS... ON DOWN THE LINE... LIKE IF SHE DELIVEERS 9 PUPS AND IS GETTNG TIRED.... NOT TO BE USED WITHOUT GEORGE'S APPROVVAL-- AND I DO HAVE HIS CELL PHONE- EVEN IF HE IS IN FLORIDA-- I HOPE HE IS CHECKIING IN THE CAMERA... I AM PRETTY SURE HE READS THIS TOO.--
ACTUALLY HE SCANS IT LOOKING FOR HIS NAME.
HE HAS BEEN TRICKED LATELY AS I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT GEORGE .. THE DOG..( WHO'S LAST REPORT CONTINUES TO BE WONDERFUL) THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE "BELLA AND GEORGE" WITH UPDATES.. SHE GOES BACK TO SCHOOL TODAY-- THE LONGER HE GOES WITHOUT ANY UNUSUAL REACTION, THE BETTER.. OBVIOUSLY.
ALONG THOSE LINES... MEGAN COMES BACK TODAY--
STEVE #2 DID VERY WELL KEEPING HIMSELF BUSY ON SAT AND SUNDAY-- HE JUST FIXED... THINGS.... WHATEVER.. LIKE WE MUST CURE THIS BIT ABOUT PEOPLE GETTING LOCKED IN THE NUT HOUSE... THE STRING YOU PULL TO LIFT THE LEVER OUTSIDE BREAKS---- I THINK HE FIXED THAT..
ACTUALLY HE SHOULD BE STEVE #3 WITH MY HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND-- STEVE#1 -- THEN MEATCUTTING STEVE #2
IT IS A BALMY 27 DEGREES TODAY-- I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE MADE IT THRU A TOUGH WINTER... I WOULD PLACE A BET THAT WE HAVE NO MORE FROZEN WATER PIPES TIL NEXT WINTER..
CAMERAS ARE WORKING-- AND I SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE SOUND INTHE "NURSERY "CAMERA.. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE NUMBERS--- I THINK THEY PUT IT IN FRIDAY NIGHT-- AND WE HAVE 84,000 VIEWS-- LIKE 900 AT A TIME WATCHING THE PUPPIES KICK OUT THE SIDE OF SCARLOTT'S BELLY.
IT WAS TOUGH GETTING THE CAMERA FUNCTIONING...
ME- HARD OF HEARING ( TO PUT IT MILDLY) VISION "OFF" ( PARTICULARLY AT COMPUTER SCREENS) FINGERS THAT FUMBLE MORE THAN NOT.... WORKING WITH MY CELL PHONE- WHICH HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN- ---WANDA TRYING TO START A FIGHT WITH CHAOS.
TIM ON THE OTHER END-- USING LOGIC SLIGHTLY FOREIGN TO ME. AND WORDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE, PLUS USING ONLY 3 LETTERS TO DESCRIBE THESE WORDS I DIDN'T KNOW IN THE FIRST PLACE.
THE POV CAMERA-- I DID UNDERSTAND FROM MY MOVIE DAYS.. POINT OF VIEW-- ( I THINK)
AGE IS NOT FOR THE MEEK
**********
SO AS I SIT HERE WAITING WAITING I REMEMBER MY MOTHER DURING THE FINAL STAGES OF MY PREGNANCY-- SAID " DON'T KNOCK IT.. YOU WILL FIND THAT IS STILL THE EASIEST WAY TO CARE FOR THE CHILD"
ANOTHER THING SHE SAID-- AND I CAN NOT REMEMBER WHY OR WHEN-- BUT SHE SAID IT OFTEN...
"I'LL HAVE A SAM HAMWICH AND A CHEESE OF PIECE CAKE"
****
YOU CAN TELL I AM HARD PRESSED FOR NEWS... PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT IF YOU DO NOTHING BUT SIT AROUND, NOTHING INTERESTING HAPPENS...
A COMMENT MEANINGFUL TO THOSE WITH PTSD--- MAKE THE EFFORT.. GET OUT AND SLIDE AROUND ON THE ICE--- THEN AT LEAST YOU WOULD HAVE ICE SLIDING EPISODES TO FILL A VOID..
*****
SPEAKING OF ICE... I MADE BAILEY GET UP AND GOT HER INTO THE CAR FOR A RIDE AROUND YESTERDAY.. BUT WHEN I LET HER OUT.. SHE SLIPPED ON THE ICE AND WAS AFRAID TO WALK BACK TO THE HOUSE--- I HAD 2 CHOICES-- THE GOLF CART OR TEH TRACTOR... I CHOSE THE TRACTOR--AND BECAUSE SHE IS SO WELL TRAINED, WHEN I ASKED HER TO GET IN THE BUCKET SHE QUICKLY UNDERSTOOD AND GOT RIGHT IN.. SO I JOINED HER IN THE BUCKET AND BUD DROVE US VERY CAREFULLY BACK TOTHE COMFORT OF THE HOUSE.
]
I USED THAT BUCKET IN THE PROCESS OF TRAINING HER TO GET ON THAT TREE LIMB FOR WHAT IS MY FAVORITE CALENDAR PHOTO (2013 CALENDAR AND THE BOOK COVER "DOGS DONKEYS AND CIRCUS PERFORMERS")
OUR DOGS HAVE A GENERALIZED EDUCATON WHICH MAKES THEM HANDLEABLE--AS OPPOSED TO THE "OBEDIENCE TRAINING" WHICH WOULD HAVE TO TRAIN A SPECIFIC TASK--- CLIMBING INTO A TRACTOR BUCKET IS NOT A COMMAND WHICH WOULD BE USED INTHE OBEDIENCE SHOW RING.... LIKE... "SIT"
***********
AND SO IT GOES...
Cam Ops have asked if someone could clean the cover of the Puppy Hll camera. The dogs have been licking again.
