TODAY WILL BE SDP'S LADIES REST ROOM DAY- I DID "STAIRS" already .---KEEPING IN MIND, MY PURPOSE IN THESE INVESTIGATIONS  IS IN  REDUCING THE GAS  ( i.e. TEH CAR'S GAS)-- I HAVE NOTED THE 2 OF TEH 3 TRAINERS ARE USING THE REST ROOM IN THE LOCAL HARDWARE STORE FOR  TRAINING OF DOGS IN TEH NICETIES OF LADIES REST ROOMS- HERE AGAIN... I KNOW THAT HARDWARE STORE- WITH IT'S TINY AISLES DOWN WHICH YOU CAN BARELY GET A SMALL SHOPPING CART... I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE VERY BACK OF THAT STORE....THOSE TRAINERS ARE CONSIDEERABLY SMALLER THAN I - THUS ENABLING THEM TO BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE REAR OF TEH SHOP.  I MUST NOW GO AND CHECK IT OUT...--I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE FACILITIES IN MCDONALDS- WHICH IS RIGHT NEAR THE SUPERMARKET WHERE THEY ALSO TRAIN. THAT MIGHT PROVE MORE SALUBRIOUS, AND RIGHT IN THEIR  USUAL ROUTE.    NOW THERE ARE CONSIDERATIONS IN  THE REST ROOM SELECTION-  I FEEL IT IS MY DUTY TO DISCUSS THESE FOR ALL OF YOU NEEDING  TO TRAIN DOGS IN LADIES ROOMS.. IT IS NOT JUST TEH SIZE AND CONFIGURATION OF "STALLS"---THE BIGGEST CONSIDERATION IS-- THE AIR FRESHINER-- I DO NOT KNOW WHY, JUST BECAUSE WE HUMANS THINK LAVENDAR OR  APPLE BLOSSEMS SMELL BETTER THAN THE "NATURAL SMELLS",- THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO THINK THE DOG PREFERS THAT.-- .  THIS GOES FOR AUTO FRESHNERS TOO.---SOME OF THOSE ARE VERY STRONG EVEN TO A HUMAN- IMMAGINE WHAT THAT IS DOING TO A POOOR DOG' WITH IT'S SUPERIOR NOSE CAPABILITIES -- I KNOW FOR A FACT--- WHEN DOG MEETS DOG THEY NEVER RUN OVER TO THE NEAREST BOUQUET OF FLOWERS TO SNIFF AND CLEAR THEIR NOSE. SO TODAY'S CHORE IS TO INVESTIGATE AND MAKE SUGGESTIONS ABOUT  REST ROOM FACILITIES WITHIN A 4 MILE RADIUS OF TEH FARM. A TOUGH JOB... BUT SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT. ** I REMEMBER...... WHEN I FIRST STARTED TRAINING SERVICE DOGS-- AND TEH SIGHT OF ME WITH A HUGE DOG WAS NEW TO EVERYONE....I WENT INTO LAHEY HOSPITAL--NICE PLACE WITH WAITING ROOMS AND ELEVATORS.- THE RECEPTIONIST STOPPED ME AND SAID "YOU CAN'T BRING A DOG IN HERE"--   I REPLIED " IT IS A SERVICE DOG AND  I  NEED TO TRAIN THE DOG IN THE ELEVATOR"   SHE SPUN IN HER CHAIR AND CALLED SECURITY SAYING "  I HAVE SOME NUT HERE IN THE LOBBY WHO WANTS TO TRAIN HER DOG IN THE ELEVATOR"-- IT TOOK A FEW MINUTES TOGET OUT OF THAT ONE. ** AS FOR MENS ROOMS--- I AM  OBVIOUSLY  LESS FAMILIAR WITH THOSE-- THE ONLY ONE I WAS IN WAS THE ONE JANINE AND I WERE SITTING ON  A TARP ON THE FLOOR OF A MENS ROOM IN ONE OF THE BIG BOSTON  OFFICE BUILDINGS- WE WERE CLIPPING THE BLACK FUZZ OFF TEH MANLY PARTS OF A SHEEP- FOR A PHOTO SHOOT- TRUE STORY -- IN JANINE'S BOOK DOGS, DONKEYS AND CIRCUS PERFORMERS. YOU CAN NOT MAKE THAT STUFF UP... *** me/Bam. SENT ME TODAYS EXPERIMENT---  ICE IN HORSE WATER BUCKETS WILL AGAIN THIS WEEK BE A PROBLEM AS COLD SETS IN...  WE HAVE A BIG TUB WITH HEATER-- BUCKETS WITH COVERS SOMEONE SENT -- AND A MATCHING BUCKET ROUTInE WITH 5 INCHES OF HOT WATER TO TOTALLY EMPTY THE BLOCKS. THIS IS A NEW ONE I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY--  THERE IS A VIDEO THAT SWEARS IT WORKS...  TAKING A regualr water bottle - fill with water and some table salt-- to the brim .. put on the cap and put it in a bucket of water, -- she says it will not freeze -- i have to try this.  i probably will try it out the front door- where i can  ccomfortably monitor the progress... but if that works??????? ***** Good evening Carlene,  Thank you for having our family visit today. Our father, Paul and mother, Cindy were truly impressed with your organization and your mission. It was wonderful for us to visit again and after speaking with our parents, my father would love to be considered for a service dog. Since leaving today, he has been holding onto his wives’ pockets while walking and  we haven’t seen him walk that well in years.  ** NOW THAT IS MY STROKE OF GENUIS WHICH NEEDS MORE PUBLICITY--  IF YOU WALK WITH A CANE OR WALKER, AND CAN FIND A FRIENDLY SOUL WITH TIGHT BLUE JEANS.... IT IS BETTER ( IN MY OPINION) TO GRAB HOLD OF THE BACK POCKET OF YOUR FRIEND'S JEANS  AND HAVE THEM WALK WITH YOU-- IT ALLOWS YOU TO STAND UP STRAIGHT -- IT ALSO ENABLES  AN UP/DOWN/RIGHT/LEFT PULL  AND IS MORE SECURE THAN AN ELBOW--- EVEN IF-- FOR STARTERS YOU LET TEH FRIEND CARRY THE CANE OR CRUTCH-- IT DOES SEEM TO WORK   -- IT ALSO APROXIMATES TEH HANDLE OF A DOG'S HARNESS.- A GOOD WAY TO TRY IT.
