MEGAN TELLS ME WE ARE IN TROUBLE WITH THE UPS GUY.. POOR MAN... OUR DRIVEWAY AND IT'S POTHOLES ARE SO BAD HE HAD A PACKAGE FALL OFF HIS SHELF IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO DELIVER TO US.. THAT DOES IT.. I HAVE CALLED JEFF ( MASTERSON) NOT ONLY ARE WE IN DIRE NEED OF A DRIVEWAY-UNTIL WE HAVE ONE , I MAY HAVE TO PARK MY CAR AT THE STREET SO HE CAN DELIVER THINGS IN IT...-- ONLY OTHER OPTION IS THE HORSE TRAILER- BUT I AM WORRIED IT MIGHT GET TO ROLLING DOWNHILL...I WISH WE COULD GET THE OLD VAN GOING... IT WOULD BE PERFECT... UNTIL WE CAN GET THE DRIVE FIXED.. JEFF SAID HE WOULD "BE ALONG" -- MAYBE WITH A "CAT"
ALSO---- ANOTHER JEFF PROBLEM....WE HAVE A DRAINAGE PROBLEM BEHIND THE ARENA THAT ONLY SOME SIGNIFICANT BULLDOZING WILL CURE.. CURRENTLY I CAN NOT GET OUR TRACTOR THRU THE MUCK TO GO FROM MANURE PILE TO COMPOST HEAP.. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ...
WE MAKE TOPSOIL FASTER THAN ANYONE ELSE... THE HORSES AND DONLKEYS HAVE A PREFERRED POOING PLACE NEAR THEIR BARN DOOR WHICH CATCHES TEH RAIN OFF THE ARENA AND BARN... CAUSING A DOWNHILL SLURRY CONSTANTLY CHURNED UP BY THIER POINTY HOOVES... PERFECT BLACK DIRT... WE COULD GROW ONIONS...
******
BETSY HAS A BROTHER WHO IS KEEN TO MAKING A DOCUMMENTARY ON SERVICE DOGS... HE IS ACTUALLY A VIDEOGRAPHER--
WE COULD DO THAT--- PROBLEM IS I DON'T KNWO WHAT WE WOULD DO WITH IT AFTER WE MADE IT. IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO MAKE A MILLION WITH IT.. BUT THAT IS WHERE I FALL APART.. I DON'T KNOW THE RIGHT "PEOPLE"
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A TRAINING FILM-- WE HAVE OUR OWN METHODS.. WHICH DO WORK...AND ARE DIFFRENT..
THERE IS A NEED FOR DOG TRAINERS-- BUT THERE IS NO NEED FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY CAN TRAIN DOGS..
THE SIMPLE JUDGE IS HOW DO THEIR DOGS ( OR CHILDREN) BEHAVE--
****
ALMOST DAILY I GET SOME CALL INQUIRING ABOUT A DOG TO DETECT AN ONCOMING EPILEPTIC SEIZURE... IT GETS VERY CONFUSLING FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE... SOME DOGS PICK IT UP BY THEMSELVES IF THE PERSON LEARNS TO "READ" THE DOGS SIGNS... BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE IS NO WAY TO TRAIN THE DOG... HOW DO YOU PRACTICE? THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE "OUT THERE" OFFERING TO TRAIN A DOG FOR SEIZURE DETECTION FOR $10,000 -- DETECTION ?... NO... THEY CAN TEACH A DOG TO DO SOMETHING IF A SIEZURE HAPPENS-- BUT DETECT AHEAD OF TIME? NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
THEN TOO... I GET MANY CALLS FOR PTSD, AND DEPRESSION... WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH GETTING YE OLDE DOG OUT OF THE DOG POUND AND GETTING OUT AND AROUND WITH IT DOING THINGS LIKE CANINE GOOD CITIZEN COURSES WITH EHT AKC...
WE DO GET APPLICANTS WITH THE DON'T WORK, DO DRIVE, AND DON.T VOLUNTEER ANYWHERE... MAYBE SOME CANT... BUT IF THEY CAN DRIVE THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE...
*****
SPEAKING OF DONIG SOMETHIGN... MOLLY MADE THE MOST WICKED CAKE SORT OF THING... SOMETHING ABOTU A CAKE... THEN DRILL HOLES IN IN AND POUR IN SOMETHING TO MAKE THE BOTTOM SOGGY... IT WAS GOOD... IF YOU EVER FINED A RECIPIE JUST DO IT !!*\
****
**I KEEP SWEARIN GI WLL GET TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH MY 4 DOGS... BENTLEY,SIZZLE,WATSON AN DMINDY..
MAYBE TODAY
