JUDY MADE IT TO COPENHAGAN-- WHERE SHE IS TO JUST TURN AROUND AND COME BACK WITH THE PUP..SHE IS CARRYING ALOT OF PARAPHERNALIA - FLUFFIES, TO BABY WIPES, TO PLASTIC BAGS, TO WATER DISH, TO COOKIES.. SHOULD BE FUN..... ALOT OF THINGS ARE FUN ONCE THEY ARE OVERWITH....
STAMINA IS THE KEY .
THE ADDED COMPLICATION IS THAT WE HAVE MISCHA MOVING IN SOON AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE NEW PUP AND TAKE HIS TEMP REGULARLY BEFORE WE BRING HIM INTO THE SAME AREEA AS MISCHA WILL BE IN.. SO FOR A START HE MAY BE IN THE CONDO AREA TIL WE GET ORGANIZED...
APPARENTLY MISCHA IS GETTING LARGE...
SCARLOTT AND MISCHA HAVE BEEN "WINDOW ATTRACTION" IN BETSY'S NEW STORE IN IPSWICH... HER STOREE IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE FAVORTIE TOWN PUB... SO I WONDER IF SHE SHOLD GET SOME SIGNS UP AND MAYBE A VIDEO RUNNING OF MISCHA WHEN SHE IS IN HER BIRTHING ROOM?? BETSY?? THAT COULD BE FUN??? IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT FOR IPSWICH...
THERE IS SOOOOO MUCH I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THESE LONE SCREENS THAT SEEM TO RUN ADVERTISEMENTS......ALONG WITH HOW TO DICE HAM SO UNIFORMELY INTO 1//4 INCH CUBES.CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THOSE???
LAST NIGHT I HAD TO GO TO A GIRL SCOUT MEETING AT A HOTEL IN WOBURN... GRACE DROVE ME IN GETTING SETTLED A WOMAN CME OUT OF HE BAR TO PAT BENTLEY.. AND DID NOT SOTP WHEN I SAID HE IS WORKING-- H I HAD TO PHYSICALLY RESTRAIN HER... THAT WAS NTERESTING.. ONCE SHE SLOWED UP AND LISTENED SHE WAS FINE.. BUT SHE WS ON A MISSION. I STOPPED HER.. BEING THE OLD LADY HAS IT'S VIRTUES...
7:00 IS PAST MY USUAL BED TIME - ONE OF TEH GIRLS WAS A CLASSMATE OF BELLA'S SO IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR HER INTRODUCTION OT GEORGE AND SOME OF THE DETAILS OF HIS LIFE IN A ?MIDDLESCHOOL? APPARENTLY THE KIDS HAD MANY LECTURES ABOUT HOW TO BEHAVE AROUND GEORGE... BASICALLY IGNORE HIM..
GEROGE IS SO CAREFUL TO BE WATCHING BELLA.. IN AL THE VIDEOS I HAE SEEN HIS HEAD IS SLIGHTLY TIPPED TO LOOK TOWARD BELLA. NOW IF HE WAS USED TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD PATTING HIM, HE WOOULD BE LOOKING FOR THE NEXT STRANGER TO PAT HIM.. SO NOT PATTING A SERVICE DOG IS MORER THAN THE INTERUPTION OF THIER WORK, TOO MUCH AND YOU CHANGE THE DOG'S FOCUS...
THAT IS WHY WE WORK AS MUCH ON THE "BONDING" AS TEH ACTUAL "COMMANDS" -- OUR DOGS DON'T HAVE A BUNC H OF COMMANDS... THERE IS NO WAY WE COULD TEACH THEM TO DO SOME OF THE THINGS THEY WILL HAVE TO DO.. SO THINKING IS HIGH ON OUR LIST...
IN THE CASE OF BENTLEY, IF HE LOOKS AS IF HE MIGHT LIKE TO "WORK THE CROWD" I HAVE STARTED SAYING " GO SAY HI" AND HE WILL LOOK BACK AT ME -- WHICH WILL TAKE 3 MORE "GO" 'S TO GET HIMM AWAY..
I ALWAYS REMEMBER DOGS HAVE TO BE ALLOWED THEIR OPINIONS...AS IN THE CASE OF TIFFANY-- EXPOSED TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF KIDS( LITERALLY) AND PICKING ONE KID OUT OF THE CROWD THAT SHE DID NO T LIKE--- AND ONE YEAR LATER SAME KID, SAME REACTION.. SO NOTHING IS 100%
AND WATCHING GEORGE IN TH E VIDEOS THEY SEND, I HAVE TOLD RACHAEL THEY ARE DARN CLOSE TO BEING BITTEN BY GEORGE IF THEY ROUGH HOUSE WITH BELLA.. HE DOES NOT LIKE IT... I HAVE SEEN HIM JUMP UP ON RACHAEL WHEN SHE IS FLINGING BELLA IN CIRCLES- AND POKE AT HER WITH HIS HEAD... NEXT WILL BE A BITE.. GEORGE DOES NOT TOTALLY UNDERSTAND GIGGLING.. IT MAKES HIM NERVOUS.
JUST REMEMBER IF YOU GET BITTEN BY HIM SAY IT WAS YOUR NEIGHVBOR YELLOW LABWE DON'T WANT THE STATISTICS OF A DANE BITE...
*******
PAM... ASIDW FROM BEING A FINE ORGANIZER, SHE IS A DARN GOOD COOK.. A CREATIVE COOK AT THAT.. SHE TAKES THE CONTENTS OF THE ICEBOX AND MAKES A MEAL... I AM WELL FED.. PERHAPS TOO WELL FED.. IT IS NOT EVEN THE 19TH OF THE MONTH AND WE HAVE CHEESCAKE HERE.. THIS IS A BAD THING.
*******
TALKING TO THE GIRL SCOUTS- I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE 19TH OF THE MONETH CAKES TO THE FIRE DEPTS.. AND SUGGESTED THEY GET ON TH E BALL AND BAKE A CAKE FOR THEM... NOW THERE IS ANOTHER NATIONWIDE IDEA.. I WONDER IF THE GIRL SCOUTS HAVE A NATIONAL MAGAZINE...
HUMMMMM....
