MY WISH FOR THE DAY
I WOULD LIKE TO FIGURE OUT WHO THE 4 GIRLS WERE WHO WERE HAULING THIER PIG TO THE FAIR... WHAT A GREAT EPISODE THAT WAS...-THEY HAD OBVIOUSLY PRACTICED BECASUE THE PIG WAS VERY COMFORTABLE LOOKING AROUND WHILE RIDING IN AN ANCIENT LITTLE RED WAGON-- OPEN FLAT.. NOT "FENCED" JUST BALANCED --WHERE IT JUST FIT ?150 POUND PIG? THEY OBVILUSLY SAW THAT IT COULD GET COMPLICATED BECAUSE 2 OF THEM HELD A STRAP UNDER THE PIG'S GIRTH-- ONE PULLED TEH WAGON AND THE OTHER GOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO STOP TRAFFIC,, WHAT TEAM EFFORT ON WHAT ANYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE SAID WAS AN IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT... WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHO THEY WERE... THEY WERE SLIGHTLY YOUNGER THAN LAURA... BUT HAD TO BE 4H MEMBERS.... THEY WOUL D BE GREAT HERE... PIGS ARE SMART-- BUT REASONABLE-- AND THEIR PIG AD BEEN TRAINED-- SOMETHING NOT EASILY DONE... THEY HAD PLANNED AHEAD... I WAS IMPRESSED... I MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO GO EAT FAIR FOOD AND FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE...
******
HAPPY SHATTING DAY....
AND WHAT A DAY IT IS....NOT ONLY DID THE USUAL /CRITICAL BOARD SELL OUT, BUT THE PURPLE EGG AREA SOLD OUT TOO.. I EVEN OWE LINDA 7 BRICKS NEXT MONTH...... I NEED TO GET ORGANIZED.... LIKE BOILING PURPLE EGGS FOR THE "DROP".. LAST TIME A 2 MINUTE EGG FROM THE STORE DID A FINE ROLL THEN SPLAT--
YOU PERHAPS THOUGHT THIS WAS A RANDOME SPLAT... BUT I MUST HAVE GONE THRU A COUPLE DOZEN EGGS FIGURING OUT WHAT EGG SHELL WOULD SURVIVE THE ROLL, AND THEN SPLAT ON KEY. SOME OF OUR EGGS HAVE A THINNER SHELL( DUE TO LOW CALCUIM IN WHAT THEY ARE EATING?)N SO I BUY EGGS FOR THIE.. AND THE BOILING FOR 2 MINUTES GIVES A BIT OF STABLIZING TO THE WHITE PART NEXT TO THE SHELL... I HAVE STUDIED THIS !!!
**********
IT IS ALSO FURNATURE MOVING DAY....
GUSSIE IS GETTING CLOSE--- SO EVERYONG WILL HAVE TO TQKE ONE STEP TO THE LEFT....
WE COUDL HAVE 3 IN THE TV ROOM..... BUT OVERNIGHT I RE STUDIED THERESAS DESK VS THE CANDY BAR....
I THINK THE AREA OF THERESA DESK MIGHT BE A BETTER PLACE TO MOVE SCARLOTT-- THEN HAVE OPALS IN THE KITCHEN--
TO BE SHUFFLED OUT BACK IF TEH WEQATHER IS GOOD... THERESAS DESK WOULD THEN GO IN THE CANDY AREA....
HEAVEN KNOWS WE CANNOT LOOSE THE SUGAR BAR...... THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE HALL.
THESE YOUNGER LITTERS HAVE GOT TO THE STAGE OF NEEDING TO HAVE THE IR AREA REDESIGNED..
THEY NEED A GENEROUS FLUFFY-IED AREA VFOR SLEEING AND MOMMY TO LIE DOW FOR MEALS...
THEN TEHY NEED A "GOOD TRACTION" AREA.. LIKE A SHEET-- WILL GET SLIGHTLY MESSY BUT EASY TO COVER TEMP THEN CHANGE.../WASH...
AND BEYOND THAT THEY NEED THE WEE WEE PAD BIT...
IN THE GEOMETRICAL DESIGN.... WE WOULD RATEHR HAVE THE FLUFFY NEAR WHERE WE STAND AND THEY JUMP AROUND TO SEE US...
THE BACK CORNERS ARE WHERE THE WEE WEE'S GO...-- AND HOPEFULY THE BASIC INSTINCT TO POO AS FAR
FROM THEIR SLEEPING AREA AS POSSIBLE, THIS WILL MINIMISE THE SLIP AND SLIDE FACTOR --
THE MOST DISAGREEABE PHASE OF PUPPY RAISING...
***************
NOW I NEED TO GO DO IT.. .. AND MAYBE FIND FOOD
LEFTOVER BBQ FROM LAST NIGHT MIGHT STILL BE AROUND...
THANKS TO A CP FOR THAT BBQ!!!

i started watching explore.org video cameras about a month ago. I loved watching and hearing Opal become a mother. Hearing the naming made the viewing that much more interesting. I was unable to hear Scarlots puppys names and totally missed Misra becoming a mom. I also caught a couple of whiteboard postings:Opals pups weights at about 3lbs, diagram of room pre Scarlots welping and the 3 litters count today.
Crazy as it sounds, I can't watch you 24/7 and have probably missed many other white board postings.
Is there a place, other than Carlene's blog, that chronicles the goings on at SDP? Still pictures of the narrative whiteboards? Facebook or Twitter? If so maybe Carlene can mention the place in her blog so others may benefit from these other resources.
Carlene, I enjoy your style. Listening to the woman call 9 times that day was crazy. I was tempted but did not call her.
Keep up the wonderful work. Lots of new puppies to train!!!

WE OUGHT TO KEEP THAT INFO CIRCULATING IN THE CHAT... IT IS OUR WEB... TOP LINE PHOTOS... THENDROP DOWN INFORMATION ABOUT SDP... ( I THINK)
