I LOOKED BACK TO SEE JUST WHAT DOG MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE DOG TO KEEP THE NEIGHBOR AT #30 PARTRIDGEBERRY PLACE AWAKE FOR THE 43 MINUTES ON FEB 26, 2017. IT COULD HAVE BEEN FINNEGAN… THEY WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW FINN IS GONE NOW…HE WAS DONATED TO A LITTLE GIRL WHO HAS SOME MASSIVE MEDICAL PROBLEMS.
I AM SORRY ABOUT THE 43 MINUTES. THAT IS A FACT. BUT IT
MADE ME WONDER ABOUT THE FACTS WITH WHICH WE DEAL AND TRY TO RE SOLVE.… ,
HOW DOES THAT 43 MINUTES COMPARE TO THE LITTLE KID IN A WHEELCHAIR SITTING ALONE IN THE BACK OF A SCHOOLROOM BECAUSE HER “ATTENDANT” FORGOT TO PUSH HER TO LUNCH…. AGAIN…
IT MADE ME WONDER HOW THAT 43 MINUTES OF DISRUPTION COMPARES TO THE 4 YEARS OF BOMBING WHICH ENDED WHEN THE IED FLIPPED A GUY 20 FEET IN THE AIR,LANDING ON HIS BACK IN ONE PIECE. ---HIS BUDDIES WERE NOT SO LUCKY.
WAS THE 43 MINUTES OF LOST SLEEP ANY COMPARISON TO THE VETERAN WHO HAS NOT SLEPT A FULL NIGHT FOR 7 YEARS UNTIL HE FOUND OUR GUEST HOUSE AND HIS NEW DOG?
COULD ANYONE EXPLAIN WHAT MAKES OUR DOG HELP A VETERAN WITH PTSD WHO WOULD RUN SCREAMING FROM A MALL BECAUSE HE SMELLED NAIL POLISH.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF OUR MANY STORIES.
HAVING THE DEVELOPMENT NEXT DOOR IS A PROBLEM FOR BOTHSIDES…
I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN 43 MINUTES DROOLING WHEN ONE OF THE PARTRIDGEBERRY RESIDENTS FIRES UP THEIR BARBEQUE— SOMEONE THERE NOW, IS A GREAT COOK.
AS WERE THE FRAMING CREW WHO HELPED THEMSELVES TO MY 40 LAYING HENS AND A PET TURKEY IN ONE NIGHT LEAVING NOT ONE FEATHER.…
IT TOOK MORE THAN 43 MINUTES TO TRY AND CLEAN UP THE MESS WHEN SOME KIDS BROKE INTO OUR STORAGE SHED AND TOOK ALL THE MANY CANS OF FLUIDS AND DUMPED THEM IN THE STREAM WHICH FEEDS HOOD POND..
IT COST MORE THAN $43 TO INSTALL ALL THE VISUAL AND AUDIO EQUIPMENT SURVELIANCE NECESSARY TO MONITOR PEOPLE USING THE PATH I LEFT ON MY PROPERTY SO THE GENERAL PUBLIC COULD ACCESS THE FOREST BEHIND ME.
I NOW HAVE A SPECIAL PHONE TO RECORD ALL CALLS… BLOCKED OR NOT- TO IDENTIFY THE FEMALE CALLER WHO SAYS “I WILL DESTROY YOU”
WE HAVE A PRESON MONITORING THE NOISES IN THE AREA…… AND MAKING A REPORT—IF THERE IS ANY BARKING OF A DOG IN TROUBLE OR FRUSTRATED THEY ARE TO CALL ME…
I HAVE HAD NO CALLS . WE HAVE 24 HOUR STAFF COVERAGE AT THE FARM..PLUS ME…
IF THE DEVELOPER LACKED FORESIGHT WHEN HE REMOVED ALL THE NATURAL BARRIERS BETWEEN OUR FARM AND THOSE BEDROOM WINDOWS, IT IS NOT MY FAULT.,
****
THE OPENING OF WHAT IS MY LEGAL SECOND DRIVEWAY IS WHAT STARTED SOMEONE AGITATIING THE GROUP. I DON’T THINK IT’S USE HAS BOTHERED ANYONE.. I HAVE MADE THA T AREA AVAILABLE TO SKIP TOBIN TO TRY AND HELP WITH THE PARKING PROBLEM ALONG BOXFORD RD…WHEN HE HAS KIDS SKATING ON HOOD POND.
YET ALL OF THAT AGITATION PROBABLY COST SDP THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE SERVICE DOG.
REGARDLESS OF ANY AGITATOR, WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF CHANGING WHAT HAS PROVESD TO BE A LIVE SAVING VENTURE FOR HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE.
I HAVE HAD MANY HUNDREDS OF RANDOM PEOPLE COME UP THE DRIVEWAY—INCLUDING CONTRACTORS , POLICEMEN, FIREMEN AND ALL MANNER OF VISITORS… AND THE CONVERSATION GOES LIKE THIS…
“YOU HAVE HOW MANY GREAT DANES ONTHIS PROPERTY?
“OH , TODAY, PROBABLY 65”
“WHY SO MANY ?”
“WE HAVE MANY MORE THAN 65 PEOPLE NEEDING WHAT THEY CAN BE TRAINED TO DO”
“ IT IS SO QUIET HERE- NOT ONE BARKING”
“PLEASE WRITE THAT DOWN FOR ME SO IF/WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THE BARKING IS CONSTANT I CAN CALL ON YOU.”
THE IPSWICH ANINMAL CONTROL OFFICER HAS IN HER REPORT ---I QUOTE ---” I AGAIN WENT TO PBP IN THE EARLY MORNING AND LISTENED FOR BARKING…. THE TIMES I SPENT AT PBP I HEARD NO EXCESSIVE BARKING”
DANES ARE QUIET SOMEWHAT LAZY DOGS.. NOT LIKE JCK RUSSEL TERRIERS. IF AN OWL SWOOPS IN AND CATCHES A MOUSE OR RAT, THEY WOULD BARK A FEW TIMES.. IF A NEIGHBOR HAS TROUBLE STARTING THEIR CAR AT 6:00AM AND THERE IS A LOT OF DOOR BANGING AND LOUD CONVERSATIONS .. THEY WILL BARK ONCE OR TWICE…
IT HAS BEEN NOTED ON OCASSION , THE FROGS MAKE MORE NOISE.
THE MEN WHO CUT DOWN THOSE MASSIVE TREES THAT WERE THE FOREST BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT, WORE THE KIND OF EAR PLUGS THAT MIGHT SAVE THE 43 MINUTES SLEEP PROBLEM.
SDP IS A MUCH NEEDED CHARITY PROJECT…WE ARE HAPPY TO MAKE ANY CHANGES THAT MIGHT IN SOME WAYY, IMPROVE THE DOGS WE DONATE..
