this FLU--- that pam has given me
--can best be identified as the right nostril flu. my left nostril
is realy quite healthy
--- as is
my left tonsil-- i know what most of you are thinking- it has to be a
graVITY THING--- HOWEVER... I SLEEP ON MY LEFT SIDE SO TEH RIGHT NOSTRIL IS THE
UPPER NOSTRIL-
SO
MUCH FOR NEWTON AND HIS APPLES-- I HEARD THAT FLU IS AIRBORNE- NOT ONLY THAT,
BUT IT MUST HAVE SOME LEVITATIONAL ASPECT TO THOSE
LITTLE GERRMYS- PROBAbly as a physically adverse reaction to
chlorox.
at any
rate --- i ain't down yet.
***joyce
took willie home yesterday-- and i have not heard any calls for help--- so they
must be doing ok...-- she/they .. already have huge leroy- who
fortunately is not what you would call bold -- so yesterdaay we had a
test run to staPLES WITH BOTH LEROY AND WILLIE IN MY CAR.---(WHERE
I SAT IN TEH WARM CAR) AND SHE TOOK WILLIE INTO STAPLES... HE WAS
PERFECTLY BEHAVED HE JUST IS NOT RELAXED ENOUGH TO BE A SERVICE
DOG- THO I SEE NO REASON HE CAN NOT DO THERAPY WORK-- HE SEEMS TO LOVE
THE SOCIAL ASPECTS OF BEING A GOOFEY LOOOKING HARLEQUIN DOG. hopefully
will be perfect for the pease greeters AND MAYBE HANSCOM AIRFORCE BASE VA ALSO
WE (JUDY
AND I ) HAVE TO GO AND SEE THE VA AND SEE WHAT THEY WANT IN THE LINE OF DOGS.
SO FAR IT IS A N OPEN REQUEST THEY AREN'T SURE OF-- THEY JUST HEARD
ANIMALS WORK FOR WHATEVER TEHY ARE DOINGG..
BACK TO
LOADING WILLIE...THE ONLY EDUCATIONAL ASPECTS OF TEH TRIP WERE--- AND I HAVE
MENTIONED THIS BEFORE... WHEN LOADING 2 ANIMALS INTO A VEHICLE- OR ONTO A SOFA,
YOU HAVE TO PUT THE SUBMISSIVE ONE ON FIRST- BECAUSE NO WAY IS TEH SUBMISSIVE
ONE GOING TO JUMP TOWARD TEH DOMINAQNT ONE..
FOR
EXAMPLE ... IT TAKES EXTRA effort to get either bentley or sizzle to jump onto
the sofa if chaos is already there. chaos only has to tilt one
eyebrow and they back off to another sofa.
just one of those little nummies one never
thinks of--99% of teh dane world would decide there must be something wrong
with the dog's hips - sometimes they can jump in and other times not...--
must be teh weather related arthritis due to hip dysplasia- when in fact
the dog is thinking "i'm not going to challenge that
bully"
with donkeys it certainly is the same---
i loaded teh 8 hitch constantly- and timmy went on first and donqui
last.
timmy was teh 9th... sweet lovable donkey
that wandered teh crowd alone- no harness- no halter as in that picture
of the newbury port parade he just walked along with teh
"hitch" when we moved...
i going back to the---- can jump--- IDEA...
.......that was also one of those "english teacher"
problems ----- the can vs will --- technically i
should have said "sometimes they will jump in" ijmplying
they always can-- however depending on the forcefulness of teh
dominate dog, maybe The "can" was correct.
i struggle with the kids who sometimes
answer the phone.. "can i help you_?" i grit my teeth,
but sometiems- along the same logic..." can" might be
correct?????
****
for lack of cut and paste.....
fyi pease greeters??? -- i hope i get
this 84% correct---
pease is the airforce base north of here- by
not much 20 miles? and it is THE airport where planes
full of soldiers stop- both coming and going-- between states and
alot of other places these planes go to deposit them.
so there is a group of people who watch the
arrivalS a nd departures and go AT 2AM OR 6PM.. WHENEVER.....
SO there will be a group of citizens around the terminal to be with these
brave souls. -- with cookies and "stuff"
one of teh STUFF tehy like to have is
dogs to pat.
i have spent the past 2 weeks with willie-- and
he is far more pat-able than stabalizing- besides the harliquin color
mAKES HIM STAND OUT IN ANY CROWD..
SO HE HAS A JOB-- SO FAR.....:)
