I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE THANKS TO YOU AND ALL THE STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS OF SDP! NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION AND AS SUCH MAKE SOME PEOPLES LIVES SO MUCH RICHER , BUT YOU DO IT WITH GRACE, KNOWLEDGE, SPIRIT AND HUMOR. I KNOW THE PAST WEEK OR SO HAS NOT BEEN AN EASY TIME FOR ANY OF YOU AND THE FACT THAT THOUSANDS ARE WATCHING AND COMMENTING AT TIMES MAY HAVE GOTTEN ON YOUR NERVES. BUT YOU HAVE ALLOWED US TO CONTINUE TO WATCH AND EVEN COMMENT. WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR FIRST SYMON AND NOW SEVERAL OTHERS IS INCREDIBLE. THE LOVE, CONCERN AND CARE ARE NEVER ENDING. I HOPE TO MAKE IT UP THERE ONE DAY, BUT IF I DON'T, I WANTED YOU TO KNOW HOW TRULY APPRECIATIVE I AND MANY OTHERS ARE OF ALL YOU DO. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS WITH ALL THE OTHERS THERE AT SDP.
SINCERELY,
JODY

IT IS SOMETIMES HARD FOR ME TO FIGURE OUT JUST WHAT MY JOB IS....MOSTLY IT IS SUPPLY CLERK... SO THAT LL THESE WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF HAVE WHAT THEY NEED WHEN THEY NEED IT..
I GOT BLINDSIDED BY THE NATIONAL SHORTAGE OF RINGERS... I HAD A CASE OF 12.......... AND ASSUMED I COULD GET MORE.... RINGERS IS THE ABSOLUTE BASIC NECESSITY FOR HUMANS AND PETS...-- IF YOU GET CARRIED OFF IN AN AMBULANCE CHANCES ARE THEY START A DRIP OF RINGERS....... THE OTHER FACT THAT SHOT ME DOWN WAS GEORGE GAVE SYMON 16 BAGS TEH FIRST 24 HOURS HE WAS HOSPITALIZED...- AND WE HAVE 2 ADULTS AND ?6 PUPS WITH WATTERY DIARRHEA- YOU DO THE MATH...
WHICH IS WHY I HAVE SAID TO EVERYONE.. IF YOU CAN FIND A FEW BAGS SEND THEM.
"Human hospitals and veterinary practices are having a tough time stocking up on what’s basically pharmaceutical-grade saltwater, used for everything from hydrating patients to mixing medications. IN AN EFFORT TO PREVENT HOARDING, COMPANIES HAVE GONE TO A SYSTEM OF RATIONING."
OF COURSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO-- GET SOME TO HAVE ON HAND.... WHICH ... IF WE GET TOO MUCH, I CAN PREVENT THE EXPIRATION DATE PROBLEM BY SWAPPING IT WITH GEORGE BEFORE IT EXPIRES...
WE HAVE HAD TREMENDOUS RESPONSE.. MANY HAVE HAD THE TIME TO DEAL WITH ORDERING AND GETTING A PRESCRIPTION FROM GEORGE'S OFFICE.-- THE VARIOUS PET SUPPLY COMPANIES SEEM WILLING TO CALL FOR A SCRIPT- AND HIS OFFICE HAS RECIEVED AND SENT MANY OUT... SO WE HAVE MANY ENROUTE...
YESTERDAY WE HAD A BOX FROM A LOCAL HORSE VET PRACTICE AND SOMEONE IN BOSTON SENT 3 (?OR 4?) THAT KEPT UYS GOING AND WE EXPECT MORE IN TODAY -- I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TRACKK THEM ALL SO IF YOU HAVE TRACKING INFORMATION ... IF YOU WOULD TRACK YOUR OWN AND GIVE ME AN EMAIL WHEN DELIVERED... ALTHO WE ARE WATCHING OUR HUGE MAILBOX PRETTY CLOSELY...
WHEN I FIRST HEARD THERE WERE 3 CAMERA PEOPLE COMING THIS WEEK... I THOUGHT MAYBE THAT WOULD BE TOO MANY AT ONCE... BUT BELIEVE ME THEY ARE ALL WORKING 12 HOURS A DAY.. WORKING HARD TOO... BUT LAUNDRY IS UP TOP DATE.. DONE CHLOROXED AND FOLDED BY THE TON.. REALLY SOILED IS GETTING TOSSED.. WE ARE TRYING TO USE THE STUFF THAT IS PRETTY "THREADBARE " ANYWAY..
WE ARE USING ALOT OF PEE PADS.... SO I WILL PUT THAT BACK ON OUR LIST.
( SUPPLY CLERK DETAIL)
WELL IT IS NOT JUST PEE PADS AND RINGERS... IT IA ALSO THE " BUILDING" WE HAVE SOO MANY PEOPLE ON WEEKENDS WE NEED A PLACE FOR THE SETTERS TO SETTLE.-- THE T TENT GETS CROWDED... SO AS MY PRESENT TO ALL VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF---- I HAVE ORDERED THE 30' X 40' TENT.. FOR HANGIONG OUT..AND WHEN I GOT THE BILL FOR HAVING THE FOUNDATIONS PROFESSIONALLY SET, I DECIDED WE COULD LIVE WITH "GROUND ANCHORS" THAT WERE NOT QUITE PERFECTLY ALLIGNED - SO WE HAVE 11 DONE... AND TEH 50 ' DIAGIONAL OF TEH BUILDING IS "OFF" BY 1/2 INCH -
WE COULD SPEND $10,000 AND IT WOULD BE PERFECT...
NOT GONNA HAPPEN. LEAVE YOUR T-SQUARES HOME !!
ALL RIGHT DAWN AND SCHOOL TEACHERS... YOU CAN USE THAT 3-4-5 TRIANGLE BIT TO DEMO A RIGHT ANGLE..
*****
THE PUPS ARE ACTIVE AND SEEM FINE TIL THEY SQUIRT OUT A VERY BLOODY LOOKING DIARRHEA-- SO I MUST CONTACT GEORGE---BY GIVING HIM THE MORNING REPORT..
SO IT GOES--
WE ARE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS BY A LONG SHOT...
