sandy and lady ripple....
i was thrilled to get the video of sandy and ripple mincing theri way thru a store .--- sandy arrived very unstable on awkward crutches and at least in that video seemed quite secure with her "lady ripple" == that is an ideal wondertful success story, but if i had been there i would have been a nervous wreck. those aisles were narrow- i can remember being in a store training with a pup and having him spot the balloons over teh cash register and he rushed backwards into the display of oranges....
megan has much better nerves than i do- starting with her faith in george vs teh principal of bella's school--- then hunter and wendy mincing theri way down the long flight of stairs 899 feet long--- erica and asher on stage... fiona tripping the light fantastic- from stone to stone over a stream.... i get nervous... "have faith"
sounds like my sister frannie-- "have faith" as she would carry a large collection of breakable dishes. she always made it ..and i always worried.
there is a "just do it" element to this sdp operation.. take betsy-- and her very fancy upscale gift ? store. i would never suggest she take her 2-- (scarlot, mischa ) and have tem lie quietly in the corner of her store and greet people going past them... but she just did it.
or ther recipient who the first week after getting her dog---- took her brand new dog on 4 airplane flights teh first 2 days with absolutely no probem.
i do not have that kind of courage/.
i think the way it went was ... i told meg 10 years ago this would work- and fortunately she didn't question my advice and didn't realize i didn't know what i was talking about-- before all of a sudden it was working./
if anyone offers you brains or luck... take luck every time/

I have gone out to restaurants, movie theaters, Church and been on my best behavior to take care of my Mom.
Meg told my Mom to be more firm and use and Carlene’s voice to make me do things I really didn’t want to do, ( I wish she would stop talking to Meg) I thought it best if I told her what to do, but I’m realizing that those things weren’t so bad.
I’ve had a bath in the bath tub after finding some very nice perfume in the grass so I rolled all over it to impress my Mom, but she tells me that’s not the perfume ladies wear!
