30 DAYS HATH NOT MAY-- SO WHEN YOU START FIGURING THE 63 DAYS GESTATION PERIOD FOR LAINEY--
AND YOU HAVE FIRST "TIE " MAY 23 WITH LAST MAY 27-- GO FOR IT....
---.OLD WIVES TALE "WHEN THEY CONCIEVE- THEY QUIT AND BITE THE POTENTIAL PAPA--- THAT KIND OF GOES ALONG WITH "THEY CONCIEVE TOWARD THE END OF THIER CYCLE..."
AND CARRY 56 TO 66 DAYS-- SO ALL THAT BOILS DOWN TO WHEN DO WE PAY ATTENTION AND START TAKING TEMPS O SEE IF WE GET THE DROP TO 98 DEGREES 24 HOURS BEFORE LABOR STARTS... HAVE AT IT !!
PERSONALLY , WHEN THEY REACH DOWN AND GRAB THEIR BLANKETS AND STRETCH UPWARD RIPPING EVERYTHING,, I START TO FOCUS...
IN TRUTH ANYTHING YOU SAY WILL EVENTUALLY BE PROVEN WRONG...
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PREDICT THE COLOR-- WITH WALTER BEING "PIEBALD" ( LARGE SPOTS.. NOT BROKEN/TORN PATCHES.. OF THE TYPICAL HARL) AND LAINIE PRETTY BLACK. ALL I WANT IS A BUNCH OF HEALTHY STRONG PUPS.....
PUPPY COLOR SHOULD NOT BE AFFECTED BY TEH FACT THAT WALTER SPENT A YEAR OF HIS LIFE DYED BRIGHT ORANGE WITH A DYE GUARENTEE'D TO WASH OUT... THAT DIDN'T...

DONNA WANTS TO TRY AND TAKE WATSON HOME AND SEE HOW HE DOES WITH HUSBAND AND FAMILY--- I AM PRETTY SURE WATSON WILL BE THRILLED... DONNA WILL HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION .. WATSON IS A POWERFUL DOG... I CAN SEE HIM LEAPING ONTO HER DINING ROOM TABLE. HIS BACK LEGS WORK FINE... THEY JUST LOOK A LITTLE WIERD-- COULD BE STILL GROWING-- WILL NOT NEUTER HIM AND SEE HOW HE DEVELOPES.-- AND IF HE STRAIGHTENS OUT AND WE CONSIDER BREEDING WITH HIM, I WILL GET HIS HIPS XRAYED JUST FOR GOOD LUCK... WE HAVE PRETTY GOOD/ STRONG DOGS IN OUR LINE... DON'T WQNT TO INTRODUCE ANY PROBLEMS--
THIS MEANS TENTATIVELY WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER PUP FRO EUROPE. AND WAIT FOR GOLDIE TO INDICATE TO US US WHICH PUP SEEMS RIGHT... -- I HAVE LOOOKED AROUND... AND RUSSIA HAS SOME GOOD LOOKING DOGS TOO.. THE PEOPLE SEEM VERY NICE TO DEAL WITH-- JUST THE GOVE'T SEEMS OFF KILTER... NOT UNLIKE ALOT OF GOV'TS... I WONDER HOW FAST JUDY CAN GO TO RUSSIA??? THE 24 HOUR TRIP TO AND FROM DENMARK TO PICK UP WATSON HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF RECORD...
*****
IN AN EFFORT TO GET MORE DOGS OUT I AM GOING TO TRY AND A FEW OF OUR YOUNGSTERS( PEOPLE) OUT TRAINING.. LAURA IS SO GREAT AT ORGANIZING THE PLACE THAT - WE REALLY SHOULD TRY HER IN TRAINING-- ALONG WITH A FEW OTHERS....
I REMEMBER.... LONG AGO... ECAD ( EAST COAST ASSISTANCE DOGS- TORRINGTO N CT... USED TO OFFER A SERVICE DOG TRAINING "CLASS" I HEARD ABOUT IT AND SENT FOR INFO... -- IT WAS 6 MONTHS COST $5000 AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FIRST "CLASSES" STARTED OUT WITH "DOGS SMELL WITH THEIR NOSES" -- I DECIDED I WOULD SAVE $5000 AND JUST SHOW THE ADI PEOPLE WHAT SOME OF MY DOGS WERE ALREADY TRAINED TO DO...AND THEY WERE IMPRESSED...
WELL SOME WERE... MOST JUST DIDN'T WAN TOT DEAL WITH DANES...
NOW DOWN THE ROAD, I DON'T THINK YOU COULD FIND A BETTER TRAINED SERVICE DOG THAN GEORGE... WATCH THE VIDEO OF BELLA AND HIM COMIND DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS WHERE IF SHE HESITATES STEPPING DOWN, HE MATCHES HER MOVEMENTS EXACTLY...
*****
PUPS GOING OUT FOR THEIR SECOND MEAL OUTSIDE-- I SHOULD GO HELP..... BUT.... THERE ARE 3 PEOPLE....AND ONLY 12 PUPS....
I WILL WATCH
BYE
