DANMMIT--- WE don't have A FIDO -- WE USED TO HAVE A FIDO-- I THINK HE WAS MEG'S BUDDY AND ALONG WITH BEING GOOD LOOKING ... HE WAS BOMB PROOF AND TROUBLE FREE-- I THINK I REMEMBR "USING" HIM TO TRY AND HAVE BELLA WALK WITH A DOG BEFORE GEORGE...- IF NOT BELLA THEN JOCH OR A FEW OTHERS... HE WAS ONE YOU COULD PULL OFF TEH SOFA AND HE WAS GUARENTEED TO BEHAVE AND LOOK GOOD DOING IT.- I WANT TO TRY AND HAVE MRELYN PUT SOME MILES ON SOME OF THESE DOGS- AND I LOOK AROUND... NO FIDO-- BUNCHA CLOWNS-- BENT AND SIZ ARE GOOD WHEN I AM WITIN 10 FEET-- I REALLY NEED A FIDO....
BUT YESTERDAY SIZ TOOK TO JUMPING AROUND HERE WITH A HUGE PILLOW IN HER MOUTH-- TOTALLY UNLIKE HER-- SO SHE MUST BE COMING INTO HEAT??????
SHE DOESN'T CYCLE REGULARLY-- SO THIS COULD NEED MANAGEMENT... MY FIRST CHOIDE WOULD BE BENTLEY-- WITH TIGGER AS BACK UP- JUST IN CASE THE EQUIPMENT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY... BENTLEY IS NOT TH E MOST ENERGETYIC THING IN THE WORLD-- HIS STAMINA BIT HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE THE ELEVATOR BIG BANG.
WITHOUT EXACT SUPERVISION, WE COULD GET INTO 2 FATHERS OF ONE LITTER.. OR UNLESS WE CHECK IT WOULD BE 2 POSSIBLE FATHERS...
BEEN THERE DONE THAT...,. YEARS AGO.... WE HAD OCASSION TO WONDEER ABOUT THE PATERNITY OF ONE PUP---ORDINARIOLY IT WOULD NOT BE OF INTEREST, BUT WE WANTED TO SAVE ONE PUT FOR BREEDING- SO I NEEDED TO KNOW WHO THE FATHER WAS....
SO I CAREFUL;Y COLLECTED TEH DNA SAMPLE WITH THE AKC KIT... FROM ALL THREE - THE 2 POSSIBLE FATHERS AND TEH PUP... TEH RESULTS I GOT BACK FROMT EJH AKC SHOWED EITHER ONE COULD HAVE BEEN THE FATHER--- WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE ODDS ARE OF THAT BEING POSSIBLE-- SO I CALLED AKC--- AND WAS TOLD TEH $40 DNA TEST BASICALLY PROVED IT WAS A DOG, IF I WANTED TO TEST PATERNITY IT WAS $120 PER DOG.

I NEVER KNEW FLORIDA WAS TEH SINK HOLE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD?? LAST NIGHT'S ENGINEERING DISASTERS WAS ON SINK HOLES-- AND THEY GAVE SOME STATISTIC LIKE 6 PER DAY- NOT ALL 50 FEET ACROSS .. BUT SOME ! I AM AMAZED TO SEE PEOPLE ALL STANDING AROUND WATCHING AS THE HOLE GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER... IT WENT FROM DETECTING ONCOMING SINK HOLES TO THE INSURANCE WHICH IS VERY SLOW TO PAY FOR SINK HOLE DAMAGE EVEN WHEN THEY COLLECT FEES FOR THAT CO=VERAGE.
THUS CONFIRMING ANOTHER DISASTER--- INSURANCE.
I PAID FOR LIFE INSURANCE FOR 35 YEARS - AND EVERY QUARTER I GOT A PAPER TELLING ME WHAT IT WAS WORTH CASH VALUE-- UNTIL I TURNED 79-- THEN I GOT SEVERAL PAPERS SAYING MY AGI INSURANCE HAD GONE FROM 100,000 TO ZERO VALUE.. MUST BE SIMPLE MISTAKE?? I CALLED TEH NUMBR ON THE NOTE... A TENNASSEE PHONE NUMBER PHONE WAS D/C... SO I FETCHED OUT MY OLD NOTICES AND CALLED A CHICAGO NUMBE WHERE I GOT A PERSON AND THEN WAS PUT ON HOLD FOR OVER AN HOUR. MEANTIME THERE WERE ADS ON TV ALL THE TIME FOR AGI INSURANCE....I GOT NO WHERE-- FINALLY CALLED MASS STATE INSURANCE OFFICE- WHO WERE NOT ENTHUSAIATIC BUT SAID " AGI?? GOOD LUCK- " AND SUGGESTED I TRACK DOWN TEH AGENCY WHO ORIGIONALLY SOLD THE POLICY... THEY WERE MORE HELPFUL AND I FINALLY GOT A CHECK FOR $107,000 -- SO AGI SAVED THEMSELVES $100,000 AND HAD MY MONEY INTEREST FREE FOR 35 YEARS.
I LOOK AT THOSE BIG MEDICAL INSURANCE BUILDINGS IN BOSTON AND THINK- ----
I BETTER NOT GO ANY FURTHERE.

Carlene,
Riz and I made it home last night. She rode beautifully and took the long drive well (with several long stops of course). She is such a wonderfully trained dog, which has made our new partnership and easy one. Words can’t describe how grateful I am you you and all of the wonderful people that made this “just in time” partnership possible!
We will stay in touch.
Heidi and Riz
