.finally...no more will i say 30 days hath september ! AH.... what a relief ! teh julian calendar !
Hi Linda, Just a quick tip or trick if y'all don't already employ it. I worked in a law firm and we had to calculate due dates all the time and you couldn't be wrong. They showed me the Julian Calendar was listed at the bottom of our office desk daily calendars and how to use it to be certain you got the right dates. Saw a post about Sizzle and person counted the days and came up with the 26th so I got on the trusty Google and looked up the Julian days and that's wrong, it is the 27th. Here's a quicky list of all the Julian day s of the year so you can look up the beginning date, then add the number of days, and then find that date on it. Julian Day Calendar
now there is a strange thing to put on our calendar for next year the julian day calendar... there are 2 different ones.... 2020 being a leap year next year ...not.

today will be transition day.... may and pups will move t o the sun room and the kitchen will get set up as sizzles domain.... teh sun room does have sound ( more easily) except it would be invasive for linda who has to talk on the phone.... i often listen to her- and am shocked at how pleasent she can be until she gets off the phone... then she is normal.
if you start with 76% of our phone calls are from people who are in terrible situations...and been living with horrendous physical limitations-- or thier children have been.. some of the phone calls can take time and patience ..linda does well.. it is so tough when people call who have problems for which we- the danes.... can offer no SOLUTION ..i know... i get some of them too.... when you have some poor person on the phone who has been sent to SDP as a last resort and we can not help it is tough... and some people take it gracefully-- others get angry... i cannot blame them--some call us all kinds of names-- on the internet, simply because we have said "no" . we try and refer to other adi facilities knowing full well they are overloaded too.
the country needs to devel0pe more doctors and nurses.... but we sure could stand more dog trainers too. a big problem is some kid comes al0ng loving the working with animals.. a tiny few get shuffled into a veternarian career-- the rest becomne vet techs and groomers... the training of animals does not get it's proper attention. further complicated by you have heard me say..... " trainers are found, not made" what happens now is when TRAiner is found, our school system bangs them into a groomer. so society can have socially acceptyable sweet smelling dogs that don't behave worth a damn... all these animal science courses do not include enough training... there is a different training avenue in the zoos that i have been watching on nat'l geo....treaching a lion to come lie next to the wall so someon can do an ultrasound on their tummy.. or getting a rino to sand with mouth open to inspect the teeth -- some of the things they get animals to do is fascinating.

one of the reasons i started sdp was not to help people, but to provide thee dogs with teh education and the right to stay with their owners wherever they go 24 hours a day... which is what any dog wants... and...you all thought i was being kind to people..???? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
-------
i am thrilled with may's 9 pups.... i hope siz does as well... we have soo many applicangts that we may be able to help... and in the meantime all of teh camera people can watch and think about all kinds of service dog related things..
OR.... CHICKEN COOP PROGRESS.. I AM TOLD SOME OF THE PIECES WILL BE DELVERED TODAY.. LIKE SOME NESTING BOXES..... NOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE NET END TO ENABLE TEH CAMERAS TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL THESE CHICKENS.. SOMEHOW I WILL HQVE TO SHUT SOMETHING AT NIGHT.
like that julian DAY calendar.... googler that !
moving along....
