"as the world turns" y0ou have to be old to remember that daytime drama????---
with half the world counting the dimples on a golf ball, there are others struggling with more meaningful
occupations... like truck driving-- as i wander around in my car with 2 or 3 danes in the back,
one place i go is to the bridfge over rt 95-- where i take great comfort in the fact that it is still
steadily covered with big trucks. i followedone with canadian license plates off rt 95 and straight
to the "coop" where it delivered 30 tons of hay... so that is still operatonal
big problem here is news, by it's very nature dea;ls only in the unusual...and sometimes obsurd ..
so the delivery of hay will hardly make the news... all be it... critical to me... and some indication of
an underlying normal conduction of business... if only the fear mongers don't cause a riot over smoked bacon.

puppies,,
consensus of the board is we really should consider going ahead and breeding gabby... and or may.
since you may have all your golf ball dimples counted,, let me run the details by you.
there is no way i can deal with a litter myself an d keep it as clean as i find necessary... i can not and will not
live with puppies sliding around in poo liquified wiht urine. which is how an awful lot of pupps are raised.
that beibg the case.. i would need stqff and volunteers to commit to puppy sitting before i consider breeding
we have 4 days to decide... gabby is already on her fifth day oif beingin heat.
it would be possibel to have someone mind the pups while being 20 feet from another human..
we do haVE THAT CAPABILITY... IN THE CONDO AREA.. SEAL THE DOOR TO THE HOUSE. IT WOULD MEAN DEALING WITH PUPS
MAYBE 8 HOURS AT A TIME... OR 12 EVEN... YOU WOULD BE IN THE BACK ROOM...AND DECK....
ON CAMERA WITH ONLY 1000 PEOPLE TO "TALK" TO VIA THE DISCUSSION COLUMN OF EXPLORE.ORG.
NOT AN IMPOSSIBLE ASSIGNMENT. BRING YOUR LUNCH... OR EAT OUR CHEF MEALS...
MOM AND PUPS EV ENTUALLY WOUOLD HAVE THE ROOM
AND THE DECK AS AN OUTDOR RUN... IT IS DO ABLE... BUT NOT BY ME... IT WOULD BE A STRANGE
WAY TO EARN A LIVING... BUT I REMIND EVERYONE.. PUPPIES ARE OUR ONLY WAY FORAWRD.
. NO PUPS.. NO JOB.. AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF APPLICANTS.
NOW EVEN IF THQT "HARVARD PERSN " WITH THE " OVER IN 2022"
IN MIND....BREEDING GABBY NOW IS WHAT WE WOULD BE DEALING WITH IN 2022.
AND IF WE DON'T BREED NOW .. WE HAVE NO DOGS TO TRAIN.--
AND NO WAY CAN I DEAL WITH ONE OR TWO LITTERS MYSELF....
WE CANNOT GUARENTEE COMPLETE COV ISOLATION... BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO THE SUPERMARKET
FOR FOOD OR PUM[PING GAS....,YOU ALREADY HAVE SOME EXPOSURE.
NOW MARK WOULDS IMMEDIATELY SAY "WELL THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM"
WHICH COULD MEAN WE MAKE TH E LAUNDRY W/C A PLACE FOR GLOVES AND CHLOROX WIPES..
SOMEHOW WE COULD DEAL...
IT REA;LLY IS NOT UP TO ME.-- I HAVE CONTINUED TO "WORK" FROM 5AM TI 6PM
WITH VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN MY DUTIES....
TEH DAILY DOGGIE GOES OUT AND MAIL CALL GETS "CALLED"
SO IT IS UP TO EVERYONE ELSE ..
A CHALLANGE TO BE SURE.
