 yes !! When my son was in Afghanistan as civilian support, he lived in a shipping container. They are being used as affordable housing in several areas of the country. Cut a window, put in some a/c, you have a lovely condo that holds up better than some buildings. 😁

Maybe ---  just maybe--  I've found my latest wacko idea .. making a home out of a shipping container ..those things are well built .. The standard ones our 20 foot and 40 foot long about 8 foot high .  I can hear the building inspector now ..It certainly could be an overflow guest house .. we already have the training room The ICU building now add  a shipping container ????

We hopefully have new help arriving  at the end of the month .. which would give Me  More time to be creative..

The puppy bus is working well AND taking  All 15 pups Down to the the grassy area   About noon time for run around and lunch has been Great fund .. The only limiting factor is the puppies are getting very heavy to lift into the puppy bus ..  This is a marvelous group of puppies and will hopefully become nice service dogs ..

I have several notices about Bella and George beings sponsored whatever on the Cesar Milan web page actually I don't know the details but it is a very nice video about Bella and George .

 

At 10 foot apart……..THE Schedule for   Saturdays  dogfest is about the same 11 AM to noon is run around frantic hour .. followed by interviews of all the staff several recipients and many volunteers which will be set up in the donkey stall ..  the spirit sticks will hopefully be visible on the puppy Hill camera and between interviews people can hielp getting them on the racks….   ….then ….the putting on of the  shatting numbers starting 2:00…… the chicken shatting and the hockey Memorabilia will happen Starting at 3:00 o'clock  Followed by the spirit stick march … dog feeding and burning of the spirit sticks and ???mail call????

And if I get organized enougn… ice cream after that….  Why not. ?

 The planned happening of today is to  get the guinnea chicks on to the area close to the pond….   We need a bit of fence adjustment  and they shoulc be out catching bugs from there.

 
Dear Carlene,
  Start to finish today, Bumble took greater care of Scott than I ever could have, for six solid hours.  He remained laser focused on Scott’s physical position and truly held him up, despite Scott’s exhaustion.  Additionally, he was fully in-tune with where Scott was emotionally, because simply being at the VA can spiral Scott to a sad place.
Each day, I am more and more amazed at this remarkable team.  I watch with pride as Scott hands out business cards to direct people who are interested to SDP’s website, typically mentioning that they, “....have to watch the Chicken Brick video and get some for yourself!” 

Thank you so much for this incredible, finely-tuned “machine” of a dog.  Bumble, through the incredible training and love from all folks SDP, is a miracle worker, and because of him, my husband can live a real life again.
I hope to be able to come to the farm as soon as I’m allowed so I can volunteer in the barn for a few days again.  My best to all.  Please give sweet Sizzle a red cookie for me.
Sincerely,   Lyn

Tito is doing GREAT! He is such a sweet boy. He is so easy going and very friendly with everyone we've introduced him to. I think he likes it here, too. He and our other dog get along really well and he's very playful with our cat, who loves danes. 

We haven't had any issues at all! I'm trying to continue to work on his training, some commands are easier than others. Maybe someday we could come to the farm and practice some of them, if you'd be interested and available. 

We have a vet appointment next week. We had had to reschedule his appointment, otherwise he would have been already. But he seems to be doing just fine.
I will get some pictures together to send to you so you can see him in his new home!
Thanks!

Dear Carlene, 
 Where are you find one you find the other. Connected at the hip! I always say Pixie is the best Service Dog. She is always by my side each and every day day and night. Never takes her eyes off of me. We don’t do anything separate always together. She has forever changed my life giving me the independence to be able to enjoy so many wonderful things. If it’s from doing house chores in the house to taking walks to enjoying an outing the little simple things in life. 

Stacy & Pixie
