GROMMETT WAS SMILING YESTERDAY AFTER 19 MINUTES WITH GUSSIE.
LEAVING US WITH LARGE QUESTIONS ABOUT WALTER... WE SHOULD AT LEAST ASK WALTER HOW HE FEELS ABOUT GUSSIE TODAY
JUST FOR FUTURE REFERRENCE...
*****
THERE IS SOOOOO MUCH GOING ON THAT I AM HAVING TROUBLE PRIORITIZING+
I WAS VERY GLAD TO GET A THANK YOU NOTE FROM A RECIPIENT- TO REMIND ME WHAT WE ARE ACCOMPLISHING HERE.
******
VENTING TIME ...
TO BOIL IT DOWN....THE PREGNANCY OF DOGS IS A #1 CONCERN... WE NOW HAVE 4 BRED DOGS- IF THEY ALL WHELP AT ONCE( WHICH THEY NEARLY WILL)
IT WILL BE A CHALLANGE.. IF THEY DON'T WHELP- THEN WE HAVE SOME HUGE PROBLEM IAS YET I DO NOT UNDERSTAND....
THE OTHER MAJOR PROBLEM IS.. I BOUGHT 2 PIECES OF HARDWARE YESTERDAY-- FOR $14.58- AND WITHOUT MUCH THOUGHT, I CHARGED IT ON THE AMERICAN EXPRESS.
NOW THAT WE HAVE AN ACCOUNTANT, I KNOW I MUST NOT LOSE THAT TINY SLIP OF PAPER TO EXPLAIN TO HER WHAT THAT $14.58 CHARGE IS ON THE AMEX BILL.
THE DISTRACTION OF TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE CPA -- ALONG WITH THE ADI ACCREDITTION BUNCH-- ALONG WITH THE MASS DEPT OF EMPLOYMENT- THE BOARD OF HEALH AND BUILDING INSPECTOR.... AND A FEW MORE... IS OVERWHELMING. ....AND VERY DISCOURAGING.
I WILL SURVIVE..
.BUT I HAD TROUBLE BEING CHEERFUL AT MAIL CALL YESTERDAY-- AND I USUALLY ENJOY THAT NONSENSE.-- WHERE IS STEVE WHEN I NEED HIM.????
THE INTERNET HAS IT'S COMPLICATIONS- 2 SPECIFICALLY ----
ONE IS A VERY NEEDY PERSON FROM BRITAIN WHO CALLS AND EXPECTS US TO SPEND HOURS ON THE PHONE- PLUS SHE HAS TRIED FOR COURTNEYS ( EXPLORE) ATTENTION ALSO. THERE ARE NO ANSWERS FOR HER. BUT SHE CALLS-- CONSTANTLY.....THE AREA CODE #44 IS BRITAIN I THINK...
THEN THERE ARE JUST LURKERS, JUST WAITING FOR ME TO DO SOMETHING THEY CONSIDER WRONG SO THEY FIND OTHER LIKE MINDED SOULS TO START A "RING OF MISERY" BASHING SDP AND THE POSITIVE THINGS THAT GET DONE-- THEY CAN'T IGNORE THE PROBLEMS AND MOVE ON....... IT IS UPSETTING ME. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS A DECISION I HAD TO MAKE.
I WILL SURVIVE- BY VENTING-- AND THROWING THINGS...
WELL ---I USED TO GO SHOVEL HORSE MANURE --- IT IS GREAT FOR CLEARING THE HEAD.....
THAT IS SOMETHING I HAVE PASSED ON TO JANINE... EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU MIGHT SEE HER FLINGING HORSE PUCKIES OUT THE DOOR. JUST STAY AWAY..SHE IS WORKING THRU A PROBLEM.
****
MOVING ON.....
SHE HAS SAID THE DONKEY WILL BE HERE ABOUT THE 20TH-- I DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS..
AND I CONTACETED TWAN WHO IS ORGANIZING TEH TRANSPORT OF NEAL.... HOPEFULLY THE 18TH OR 20TH. ON A DELTA FLIGHT GETTING HERE ABOTU NOON...
AND HE WILL BE COMING CARGO- SO THAT MEANS RUNNING FROM ONE SIDE OF THE AIRPORT TO THE OTHER WITH A HANDFULL OF FORMS NEEDING A STAMP.-
( PAPERS AGAIN... SEE WHAT I MEAN?)
AT LEAST THIS TIME WE WILL START IN THE CARGO AREA-- THEN TO THE PASSENGER E TERMINAL FOR THE CUSTOMS STAMP... THEN BACK TO THE CARGO WITHTHE 7 COPIES OF STAMPED FORMS.. IN THIS PAPERLESS SOCIETY.....AND PICK UP THE DOG.
*****
I DID WATCH THE DEBATE LAST NIGHT, INSTEAD OF THE OTHER MYTHBUSTERS...LET ME SEE IF I HAVE THIS RIGHT...
THE QUESTION OF DONALD--- "WILL YOU CONSIDER STARTING A THIRD PARTY IF YOU DON'T GET THIS REPUBLICAN NOMINATION..." LOOMS VERY LARGE OVER THE ENTIRE FIELD...
IF HE STARTS A 3RD PARTY THEY ARE SAYING THAT WILL INSURE HILLARY'S WIN...SO THAT MIGHT JUST GET HIM THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION TO STOP THAT...
HMMMMM AND BILL CALLED DONALD...
ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE , WAR AND POLITICS.

Hi Carlene, I posted this and wanted to send to you as well and then of course the comments came up that "I hope you sent this to Carlene" :) Always listen to the dog! Carlene White, the founder of Service Dog Project always says "listen to the dog". If they don't want to do something, there's a reason. Figure it out. Well, she's right and I really do try and live by that. Princess Pants, put that to great example yesterday. Let me preface this by saying during the summer, I always pre-start and cool the car before we load up. I have remote start so it's quite easy and just habit. Yesterday however, we had been at the nail salon for a couple of hours. We went to leave and I open the back of Willow's Explorer and say "Willow load". She puts her nose in and looks at me. "Willow load". Nope. "Willlooow load" uh no. "c'mon Willow load" she proceeds to look at me like I'm insane. Meanwhile, people driving by think I'm kidnapping someone's dog that will not get in my car! So, I think well, maybe she's sore for some reason and I'll load her from the rear seat. Nada. Back to the rear. I now stop for a minute and think about why in the world she won't load. I place my hand on her bedding and low and behold yes, it's warm! I realize I did not pre-start the car and pre-cool it! Was it blazing hot? No. However, it was not to her liking. I burst out laughing at my mistake, closed the car and hit the remote start. On our way back in to the salon to wait for it to cool, sure enough a man approached who did think I was kidnapping someone's dog! He asked "is that the dog from such and such street?" Ummm, no. Not to mention she was in her service dog/mobility harness. I did explain what had happened and then went in where we sat and waited for the car to cool. When it had and we left again? "Willow load" Yup, jumped right in to her pre-cooled chariot. Gotta love this girl! Lol...Always listen to the dog! ~Willow's Mom Lynne C.
