MARCH 5 2017
PEOPLE SAY THIS DAILY DOGGIE SOMETIMES MAKES THEM THINK...
WELL GET READY-----
SOME WONDERFUL NEW NAMES ON THE CHICKEN BRICK BOARD... IT IS ABOUT  THIS WHACKO  CHICKEN "WALL"  THAT KEEPS US  GOING-- AND ABLE TO DONATE DOGS TO PEOPLE.   I CERTAINLY  DO NOT WANT TO STRESS ANYONE ABOTU BEING ABLE TO  BUY A BRICK...--- IT CERTAINLY IS NOT NECESSARY  HOWEVER-----I WAS SHOCKED TO HAVE SOMEONE HERE-- WHO MANAGD TO KNOW ABOUT US AND THE FACT THAT WE WELCOME CHICKEN BRICKERS HERE TO  STAY OVERNIGHT TO  VOLUNTEER AND NEVER BOUGHT A BRICK ---OR  HEARD OF THE SUPPORT WE GET FROM THOSE CHICKEN BRICKS...-- SECOND SHOCKER-- A PERSON HERE TO APPL FOR A  DOG - A  PERFECTLY NICE COUPLE -- BUT IT NEVER OCCURRED TO THEM TO QUESTION HOW WE ARE SUPPORTED..
BOY  THERE IS SOME BOAT WE ARE MISSING THERE... LET ME COUNT THE WAYS....
 I SEND TEH DAILY DOGGIE OUT TO  2012 INDIVIDUAL EMAILS EVERY MORNING-- AND 1000 TO 1020 OPEN  AND READ IT... A PRETTY CONSISTANT NUMBER...- OF THOSE   APROX 1/3 PASS IT ON TO ANOTHER 333 EMAILS. THEN THE DD OFF THE WEB IS READ LESS CONSISTANTLY BY 200 TO 500 PEOPLE DAILY. ---?WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY DO WITH IT...

SO THAT IS - CONSERVATIVELY 1500 READERS PER DAY... LORD KNOWS WHY-- SOMETIMES THEY ARE DREADFUL- DULL AND BORING...-- 
SO LETS SAY 500 OF THOSE PEOPLE REALLY CAN NOT AFFORD THE EXTRA $10 -  FINE-- NOT A PROBLEM     I JUST WENT AND COUNTED  488 PEOPLE HAVE DONATED THIS MONTH...INCLUDING SEVERAL NEW NAMES I DON'T RECOGNIZE..... HOWEVER--------
THAT LEAVES 512 PEOPLE WHO JUST ARE NOT THINKING...

WAKE UP GUYS.... WE AIN'T AN UNENDING SOURCE OF MONEY--  AND IT THIS GROUP BOUGHT JUST ONE $10 BRICK-- THAT WOULD BE $5120-- AND MAYBE... JUST MAYBE... WE COULD IMPROVE OUR STATUS BY HIRING ANOTHER TRAINER -- OR MAYBE EVEN.... PAVE THE DRIVEWAY AND GET RID OF THOSE *&^%$# POTHOLES....
I KNOW THERE ARE 488 PEOPLE WHO ARE WONDERFLLY GENEROUS-- AND THIS IS NOT TO  ASK THEM TO DONATE MORE--  AND I NEVER WOULD PRESSURE TEH 500 WHO CAN'T AFFORD IT----MY CONCERN IS FOR THE 512 WHO JUST ARE NOT THINKING.... HOW CAN WE FIX THAT???

WHY?   AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE COMPUTER CHICKEN PROGRAM IS TOO CONFUSING-- IT ISN'T REALLY  BUT THAT IS NOT TEH REASON.. BECAUSE  SOME PEOPLE SEND A CHECK REGUOARLY EVERY MONTH FOR THEIR $10 NUMBER AND WE DO QUICK PICKS... AND HANG TEH NUMBER IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS.. AS WE HAD TEHM ALL YESTERDAY... (AND WILL LATER IF I REMEMGER...)

I KNOW I WOULD FIND ENTERING IT ON THE COMPUTER TO REQUIRE SLIGHTLY MORE EFFORT BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW MY CREDIT CARD NUMBER BY MEMORY...
IT IS MY EXPERIENCE  AT THE TENEDR AGE OF 79  THAT IF YOU HAVE LOST TEH ABILITY TO REMEMBER MUCH, YOU THEN HAVE THT TIME TO LOOK IT UP- ---SO THAT IS NOT ANY EXCUSE.
(JUST TO PROVE TO MYSELF I HAVE NOT LOST  IT ALL, I  WENT AROUND ALL YESTERDAY RECITING MY FEDEX  ACCOUNT NUMBER 1079 3759--X) --- SO IT IS POSSIBLE.MAYBE  512 COULD MAKE JUST A BIT MORE EFFORT?  -- 
HOW ABOUT MEMORIZING YOUR CC NUMBER AND  PRACTICING RECITING IT JST AFTER YOU READ THE DD--- ON THE CHANCE THAAT ONE DAY OUT OF THE 30  YOU COULD GO AND BUY A BRICK????
THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY OF YOU ...IT WOULD MAKE SUCH A DIFFERENCE....

BESIDES THAT --- I HAVE BEEN GIVING CHICKEN BRICK BUYERS  A MONKEY FIST IF THEY SEND ME A PADDED ENVELOPE ADDRESSED.

WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO....????  AND TODAY IS SHATTING SUNDAY.... PASTING NUMBERS AT 2:00 AND CHICKENS OUT AT 3:00...
 WE HAVE IMPROVED THE PARTICIPATION HERE  -- EVERONE  WILL STAND AROUND IN THE COLD  AND PUT ALL THOSE NUMBERS ON THE TABLE...  BUT I HAVE CHANGED TEH "TABLE" TO A TARP, WHICH WE  THEN ROLL AND SIT IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE TO PICK OFF THE MNUMBERS FOR NEXT MONTH..
******
WE ARE ONE OF THE VERY FEW SERVICE DOG PROVIDERS WHO DO NOT CHARGE FOR OUR DOGS.... MOSTLY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WITH THESE DISABILITIES HAVE A BUNCH OF THINDGS TO SPEND MONEY ON---- SO SEND YOUR $10 AND KEEP IT POSSIBLE -
 IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE....---YOU KNOW THE  I'M POSSIBLE  ATTITUDE. 
******
PASSING THE WORD AROUNC CERTAINLY HELPS---   AND INCLUDE " FINANCED BY SHATTING."  AND TELL THEM.... WITH THE GIFT I GIVE TO TEH SHATTED UPON ( WHICH WE DON'T TALK ABOUT SO THE  VARIOUS AUTHORITIES   DON'T DEMAND A PERMIT), I THINK THE ODDS ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THE STATE LOTTERY....
****
I CAN NOT THINK OF AN APPROPRIATE PARTING SHOT...

I CAN THINK OF ALOT THAT ARE NOT APPROPRRIATE  THO..
