IT IS POSSIBLE TO BLEED TO DEATH WITH 1000 PINPRICKS-- I THINK SOMEONE SAID THAT...THAT IS WHAT  I NOW SEE AS OUR WORST PROBLEM-- WE ARE SKIPPING OVER SOME DETAILS FOR A BUNCH OF REASONS... I WROTE THIS  TO SPECIFICALLY SEND TO STAFF .. "YESTERDAY'S ACTIVITY" AS AN EXAMPLE  **** I SUGGESTED  TRAINERS DO STAIRS---and write on a poo picker who where and how--- HERE'S WHERE I WAS  THRILLED    TO BE WRONG.. DEVLIN PUT ON HER POO PICKER SHE WAS DOING STAIRS AT CROSBY'S- I KNOW CROSBYS AND I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY STAIRS-  I BEGAN TEH "SLOW BOIL" ---SO I MADE A SPECIAL TRIP THERE AND DROVE ALL AROUND TEH BUILDING-- NO STAIRS--- I ASKED TEH MANAGER IF THEY  HAD STAIRS-- NO... -SO I CAME BACK AND GOT DEVLIN- AND  LACEY - AND DROVE BACK TO HAVE HER SHOW ME THESE STAIRS... BY NOW I NEUROTICALLY SUSPECTED SHE MIGHT HAVE DECIDED  "  JUST PUT IT ON PAPER,  TEH OLD BIDDY WILL NEVER KNOW" - .. THERE WAS A TINY SHORT FLIGHT OF STAIRS AT ANOTHER BUILDING IN THE  SAME PARKING LOT- BEHIND SOME HEDGES-  .  SHE WALKED LACEY  UP AND DOWN -   THAT PART OF THE CASE  THANKFULLY CLOSED. EXCEPT FOR 1  THING-  THERE IS A WONDERFUL 3 STORY FLIGHT OF STAIRS IN THE GEORGETOWN  TOWN HALL- WHICH I HAVE USED FOR YEARS-- INDOOR-- WIDE-- WOODEN-- 5 STEPS TURN AND  5 STEPS- right across the street form crosby's    SHE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT-  I SHOWED HER - AROUND BACK THERE IS  A PLACE  TO PARK FOR EASY ACCESS.-- I USED THOSE STEPS FOR OUR FIRST ADI ACCREDITATION WITH SHEILA obrein 10 years ago.   THE FACT THAT I DID NOT SHARE THAT INFO WITH DEVLIN IS MY FAULT- AND AN EXAMPLE OF THE 1000 PINPRICKS THAT ARE BLEEDING US.  LIKE IT OR NOT,  I Am a composite of INFORMATION AND many easy ways of  training.  sometimes i need to be more actively involved to  be able to remember some of these ideas.... *** another yesterday-- we had 30 boyscouts- here and if we do 30 again we need to have leaders/parents be more involved.... --  4 of teh boys got to teasing 2 of our dogs who took ti as fence fighting with children-- and i am afraid what the END  result  OF THAT might be...   ** as opposed to the  controlled exposure which was so  hugely successful with the  special needs  kids at the school--  we were a bigggggg help to those kids with a great example of  taking  things from teh idea classroom to  actual-- a simple thing like showing how the dogs help people go up and down athe curb....  it was  -per their teachers- amazing. and so simple for us to do...  us beng judy-- and mara too--  WHO set up these thngs.   *** rushing....
