Snow melts....and with what's going on in the rest of the country , 4 foot of snow is looking better and better all the time. feel free to remind me of that in January Several of our volunteers have to work the polls .. this made me wonder if I had ever posed the logic in the daily doggy of the possibility of hundreds oh people being bussed from Massachusetts to New Hampshire for illegal voting . Now if I ever heard of such a scheme I would be first in line to get on that bus and do whatever they told Me, then come home and contact the various news people and I would be exceedingly wealthy selling the story to the news ---- consequently it is my belief that they could not collect even one busload of people in Massachusetts who wouldn't take advantage of that money earning possibility . I remember long ago when they would come on an airplane and ask for volunteers to get off the plane for which you would be paid handsomely and they would either put you up in a hotel or on the next available plane it worked out nicely.... so .... I had the aisle seat one day when the stewardess ask for volunteers--- she had barely gotten started and I stood up and ran for the door and got out . I didn't realize that my husband had put his seat belt on and couldn't get up as fast and couldn't get out ..... this was in the days before cell phones and there was a little confusion before we both landed Boston but it seems to me I was $400 richer . So back to 4 foot of snow.--- the first thing that comes to mind is the guy From Chelsea who was bottling the 4 foot blizzard in Poland Springs water bottles and selling them to people all over the country......I had a brief Conversation with him after I mailed him a bottle of our puppy breath . we had a lot in common.. I forgot to bottle any puppy breath with the last litters.. We have a shoe box full of vials leftover from vaccines all cleaned ready to go and I just forgot there are always a few who would like to have the calming nature of puppy breath sitting on their computers or as camera mark does ....he opens one at Thanksgiving dinner and sprinkles it around the table so that no one starts the usual family fight that could happen at Thanksgiving dinners. We even have The sign erlene made which says Puppy Breath Manufacturing Company would she would put in front of the cameras as she carefully bottled puppy breath . which also reminds me of the other company associated with service dog project . that would be the Frozen Rodent Delivery Company .. .. Since we don't allow any poisons on the property we use the old type Victor snap traps which allows us to collect and freeze the the dead rats and mice . we had connections with rehabilitators of Raptors like Hawks and things . George Myers was one of them . we didn't charge for these things but it was a way of providing a service that no real cost to us . we should have some note on the guest house freezer.... "contents could be shocking".... people----- especially accounting type people---- constantly ask for a 5 year business plan . my business plan has always been ---define a need ....and fill it . especially if it's not gonna cost anything to do that . This is why I'm now packaging 30 of the purita dog food containers per box and adding a Few goodies like poker chips and monkey fist parentheses mostly because I'm making monkey fists faster that I get requests for them parentheses We have 5 orders so far waiting to be mailed as soon as I figure out how to minimize the postage ...the boxes are very light .. so I don't want to get involved with priority mailings . as we go along we should be able to send a box full of 30 every two or three days . I just thought of the tile for this project “ PROJECT NUTTY” For mixed nuts . Bailing no no mailing ....that's better... I had to order mailing envelopes for the upcoming calendar mailing .. we have ordered calendars ---mark WANTS 500 for his dart board customers so I ordered 2500 and 1200 envelopes as a nice round Number . We do make a few dollars on the cattle or project , but the postage is significant . the calendar for the last five years low battery low battery low battery has been slightly larger than this years . this year concentration on puppy pictures .. 7 of the 13 pictures are puppies.. The fact that they're harlekin puppies with variation in coloration makes them much more interesting ....in my opinion Please remember the Wayne Gretzky shirt and Bobby Orr books which we have on our website find all your hockey friends and get them to buy a a number on our web page. hi The first thing lmread when l go on my tablet is your SDP Daiky Doggie, l am hooked on it now and find it a very good read, l agree with you on many aspects, l also have been connected to people with disabilities and mobility issues, you ought to have a radio spot where you can give advice to people and talk to them about your Service Dog Project. A .lot of people out there dont understand this problem especially police, some mainstream schools don't have the knowledge about children with a disability, l know lve been there with my two sons. Anyway l just missed you last night showing how ti do this knot, can you show it again thats if you dont mind. -------- We haven’t been the best about keeping in touch as if late. But we want you to know the Gibson “tells” us everyday that we are lucky to have him!! Between adult children visiting, visiting our elderly parents and the social distancing an travel involved in that ( We might have taught Gibson a few more bad words!! Lol) Jim has foot issues - in an out of hospitals an Dr. offices ( more bad words) and he was given another class to teach ( starting next week). He teaches at BU and he has had to “zoom” more that he has had time for , for instruction, planning, rules, TA introductions uuugggg! And in this HEAT!! As you know life keeps a rolling, but we tell Gibson multiple times a day how happy we are he’s such a good boy!! He can go from play time to service dog almost in an instant!! He is a soys chef, assistant handyman, paper boy, clothes folder an in folder, cleaning 🧹 person.. you name it he very well rounded!!! Thank you is such a small word for the the feeling we have for SDP and you! Xo Kim |
