SENSABLE PEOPLE TELL ME    CARLENE-- DON'T GO THERE- SO  I'LL

CROSS ALL THIS  OUT      I WAS DELIGHTED TO SEE THE AKC USED FINN AND EVE FOR THEIR ILLUSTRATION OF A MOBILITY DOG-I WAS EVEN MORE THRILLED TO HAVE THE SMALLEST KID- WITH  ADIMTEDLY WEAKENED ARMS-HANDLING THEE BIGGEST DOG  WITHOUT NEEDING ONE OF THOSE  OVER THE NOSE THINGS DOGS HATE.  WHILE THE OTHER 2 EXAMOLES OF TRAINED SERVICE DOGS HAD THEIR DOGS IN THOSE THINGS.   I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO COMMENT -NEGTIVELY BECAUSE IT MAKES TEH “STAFF”  NERVOUS  SO I CROSSED IT OUT.

YOU ALL HAVE NO IDEA THE NUMBER OF THINGS I MUST NOT SAY.  BOTH  LINDA  AND ANNE CAN STAND THERE IN FRONT OF ME and reword  one of my blistering statements into a polite wishy washy CUPPA CHICKEN SOUP.

 I HAVE HEARD IT ALL   ----   "PICK YOUR BATTLES".... "WHY GO THERE"   ..."DON'T START TROUBLE"...  "SAVE IT GFOR YOUR BOOK"....  "WHY START TROUBLE?"

WELL WHY NOT !  SOMEBODY SAID LATELY  WHY ARE YOU  DOING ANYTHING IF YOU AREN'T WILLING TO  HAVE A GOAL AND FIGHT FOR IT... OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT...

I HAD A GOAL OF GETTING DANES ACCEPTED FOR THE GREAT WORK THEY CAN DO-- AND -- WITH MEGAN'S HELP - WE DID THAT... EXCEPT  I AM STILL PARANOID ABOUT   "YOU GREAT DANE PEOPLE ARE NUTTS" -- I HAVE OFFERED PUPS TO SEVERAL OTHER TRAINING FACILITIES-- WITH ZERO  SUCCESS--  THESE ARE NOT GOLDEN RETIRIEVERS- TEY LEARN DIFFERENTLY-- AND VERY SUCCESSFULLY-- BUT THE PEOPLE ARE UNWILLING TO MAKE THE EFFORT TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT THE ENTIRE TRAINING PROCESS.  YOU DON'T PUT A DANE IN A CRATE, GIVE TEHM A TRANQUILIZER AND HAVE THEM WEAR A "GENTLE LEADER: NOSE THING.- YOU END UP WITH A 200 POUND  CONFUSED  DOG  THAT BEHAVES LIKE A  JACK RUSSELL LEAPING ONTO EVERYONE'S LAP.   I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOME  OTHEr serious  TRAiners stay in the guest house and  drink alot of coffee while we discuss dog training in generql...

STARTING WITH VERY SMALL PUPS----  WE DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO PICK UP OUR PUPS AND PLAY KISSY POO JUST SO SOMEONE CAN BREATH THE PUPPY BREATH...  AND SO OFTEN THESE PEOPLE WILL PICK UP TH PUP BY THE FRONT LEGS PUTTIONG A TERRIBLE “FORCE” ON THE SHOULDERS.... THEY DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT-THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE DO....    WELL NOT AROUND HERE !

YOU WANT PUPPY BREATH?  WE SELL IT ---$8 FOR A 10 CC VIAL----  AND $5 FIOR A REFILL ....

***

THERE IS HOPE---  WHILE I WAS BEING TOLD  TO BEHAVE.....  I DID HEAR A FEW WORDS LIKE---" SDP IS SO OUTFRONT  IN THE MEDIA WITH ALL THEIR  DOGS THAT JUST MAYBE ADI COULD LOOK AT WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING."   I DON'T WANT TO IMPLY I AM HARD HEADED - BUT I DON'T THINK MEGAN IS ANY LESS HARD HEADED-- SHE IS JUST MORE PLEASENT ABOUT IT.

THERE ARE SOME VERY INTERESTING PEOPLE DUE TO ARRIVE HERE LATER THIS MONTH INCLUDING A FAMILY OF DANE PEOPLE FROM POLAND-- ANOTHER FAMILY TRAVELING IN AN RV-- ALONG WITH A FEW "NORMAL" CAMERA PEOPLE.

IF YOU COUNT SOFA'S AS BEDS... WE CAN PROBABLY OVERNIGHT  HOUSE A DOZEN PEOPLE WITH NO TROUBLE... SOME WOULD HAVE TO BE  MARRIED -- OR DARN FRIENDLY..  BUT BEDS AND COFFEE POTS, WE HAVE  those.
