THE PUPPY  GAME SO FAR?

OPAL ? TIED WITH GROMET TWICE-- SHOULD BE FINE.. BUT DID NOT CONCIEVE WITHAN ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION  SO WE CAN'T  KONW FOR ANOTHER WEEK...

MORIAH   TIED WITH GROMET   NOT PREG  WAS IT  ?? GROMET?? OR MORIAH???'S FAULT..

 BENTLEY TIED SCARLOTT YESTERDAY 26 MINUTES   SHOULD WORK-- BOTH BEEN ON DOXY IN CASE WE ARE HAVEING THIS NEW "ANTI PREGO VIRUS"

MISCHIEF IS IN-- SHOULD BE BRED  BUT IS GIVING JAS[PER A HARD TIME--- WILL TRY TODAY TO EXPLAIN THAT PREGNANCY IS A REQUIRED THING FOR HER...

GUSSIE IS IN HEAT  DAY 4  ... GREAT FEMALE -18 MONTHS OLD  BENTLEY X  NOEL  ( NOEL IS RELATED TO JASPER BUT IT COULD HAPPEN)

  GUSSIE WOULD NEED TO BE BRED BEFORE  WE CAN DO AN ULTRASOUND TO SEE IF OPAL IS PREGO.

I CAN COPE WITH 3 LITTERS AT ONCE... I HAVE NEVER HAD 4 AT ONCE---]

DO I HAVE 4??   IF THAT VIRUS IS PRESENT , I MAY HAVE NONE...

THERE ARE ALOT OF THINGS GOING ON...

FUNNY STORY #1457

YEARS AGO FOR SOME REASON I WAS WANDERING AROUND CANADA WITH NOTHING TO DO-- AND SOMEONE SUGGESTED I GO TO A FARM THAT RAISED BELGIUM DRAFT HORSES- FOR THE COORS HITCH....I WENT AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE BIG BEAUTIFUL HORSES-- MARES AND FOALS... AND NOT ONE WISP OF HAY ( IT WAS WINTER SO I WOULD HAVE SEEN) AND WAS TO LD THEY FEED ONLY CARROTS-- AS I WALKED AROUND.. I SAW ONLY CARROTS-- BIG 10 WHEELER TRUCKS FULL OF CARROTS..  I HAVE TOLD THAT STORY TO  MAY PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS-- AND EVERYONE-- TO A PERSON- HAS CALLED ME NUTS-- 

SO NOW......

DAWN (CP)  IS HERE FROM COLORADO AND WAS TALKING ABOUT HER GRANDPARENTS FARM  -- WHICH RAISED BELGIUM  DRAFT HORSES...-- WANDERING THRU THE CONVERSATION ... TURNS OUT THAT IS WHERE I WAS... AND YES... THEY DID  FEED ONLY CARROTS...

I WAS SO EXCITED I HAD TO TELL A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TELLING ME I WAS NUTS FOR YEARS...

SO DAWN AND I  WENT TO ANN'S --- AS THERE IS SOME HISTORICAL SIGNIFIANCE TO  ANN'S PLACE...---ANN, AT (MY AGE) COULDNT REMEMBER MY STORY  BUT I AM SUER SHE  ONCE KNEW IT  AND WOULD BE THE FIRST TO TELL ME I WAS NUTS..  WE LEFT HER ON HER COMPUTER LOOKING UP CARROTS AND HORSES.. 

 FOR THOSE WITH SOME EXTRA TIME, YOU MIGHT FIND IT INTERESTING TO GOOGLE  GROTON HOUSE HORSE TRIALS--  THERE ARE SEVERAL WEBS OF IT... --APPARENTLY 38 YEARS AGO I WAS ONE OF THE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP START THE "EVENT"  - I WAS EXTREME;Y VALUABLE BECAAUSE I WAS THE ONLY VOLUNTEER WHO COULD USE A CHAIN SAW... 

AND.... MY PRESENCE WAS NOTED BY SOMEONE ELSE IN THAT AREA FOR BEING ABLE TO SPLICE ROPES--THIS ROPE SPLICING  HAS GIVEN SDP 2 SIGNIFICANT DONATIONS.. 

IT WOULD BE A  STRETCH TO SAY WITHOUT THE ROPE SPLICING DONATION THAT SDP WOULD NOT EXIST....  BUT IT CERTAINLY CAME AT A TIME WHEN I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS POSSIBLE....

LESSON BEING... IT DOES NOT HURT TO LEARN ANYTHING.... ---  YOU CAN NOT TELL WHEN SUCH LEARNING MIGHT COME INTO  PLAY.
