 root cANALS    GOT A FEW STORIES THERE.....  THE WORD MINGY COMES TO MIND ..  I ATTTEMPTED TO HAVE A ROOT CANAL DONE ONCE-- AND IT WAS  #1 PAINFUL...#2 A TOTAL FAILURE RESULTING IN PULLING IT ALL OUT;,, SO THE NEXT TIME I HAD NEED FOR A ROOT CANAL  MY HUSBAND SUGGESTED A MINGY SOLUTION---  THAT  I GO TO AN ORAL SURGEON (MD) AND PULL OUT THE TOOTH TO START WITH..  SAVED ALOT OF GRIEF AND AGGRIVATION... ... AND MONEY...AS THE MD  WAS COVERED BY BLUE CROSS INSURANCE !!  LAST WEEK      LINDA STARTED THE PROCEEDURE.. AND I SUGGESTD IT MIGHT BE CHEAPER TO HAVE IT PULLED IN THE FIRST PLACE...  SHE THOUGHT THAT WAS RIDICULOUS.... SHE WILL BE LATE TODAY BECAUSE IT FELL  APART AND IS GOING BACK TO HAVE IT REPAIRED....  I AM SMILING... A LITTLE TOOTHLESSLY  BUT SMILING.....

MY TEETH ALL STILL WORK FINE.... OBVIOUSLY .

MOVING ON WITH THE TEETH  TOPIC...    MOST OF YOU  CP OLD TIMERS REMEMBER   I WAS ONE OF THE FLUROIDE STUDIES  IN  NEWBURGH NEW YORK  WHERE NEWBURGH HAd tehe floruide in the drinking water    and kingston n.y. did not-- and all those thousnads of grade school children spent an hour a month spitting in tiny little bottles..  it must have been the hour that was sacrificed to spelling lessons...    that may explain any educational questions you might have about my  spelling.

at least i can have a first hand knowledge of  he word  "placebo"   and teh cov question of... did the person who died get the vacine or a placebo????-- we- the general public  may never kniow.

there is news that wanders off with no folllowup...

This gets to be an odd combination of typing and dictating .

 

A COUSIN OF MINE… DICK PRICE FROM MIDDLETOWN NEW YORK. Sent me a letter yesterday  .he included a small screwdriver which I remember my father   AS  E.CARL PRICE, FARM EQUIPMENT CO.    had made to give away to people way back 1940 something ….   I can remember how pleased he was with these small screwdrivers  had his name on them ..   MY FATHER USED TO SAY HE WENT TO CORNELL… AND HE DID.. FOR A 2 MONTH COURSE GIVEN TO “FARM BOYS” DURING THE WINTER  MONTHS  WHEN THEY  WERE NOT AS NEEDED ON THE FARM.  ….      it was nice of DICK to send it to me .   In his letter he also says he reads this daily doggy so forgive me   if I use this to communicate ..   I think I remember that that he and his brother both had polio during the time when there  were iron lungs to being used ..  and both he and his brother then went on to graduate marine training successfully ..  I'm wondering how all that worked out and if you have any information to pass on to people send it to me it  WOULD be interesting .

THIS TABLE AT WHICH I NOW SI T WAS MADE BY FATHER IN SHOP CLASS… IN 1914—BACK WHEN  YOUNG BOYS WERE INSTRUCTED IN  CONSTRUCTION .. NOT DESTRUCTION… WHILE THE FEMALE PEOPLE   WERE LEARNING TO BOIL WATER AND IRON SHRTS. ---    THIS DESK IS 3’ X 4’   BACK WHEN THE PRICE OF  MATERIALS DID NOT OUTWEIGH THE  INSTRUCTIOAL VALUE.   NOW BOYS ( OR GIRLS)  DON’T EVEN MAKE BIRD HOUSES IN SHOP CLASS.  ..  EVEN THOSE MATERIALS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE..

I WOULD SAY “THEY ONLY TEACH THAT KIND OF SKILL IN CHINA-“ -- EXCEPT.. THERE ARE A FEW HERE… GENERALLY IN AMISH COUNTRY… AND TEHRE IS A LANCASTER BUSINESS BOOK…. LISTING EVERYTHING  FROM MANURE SPREADERS TO BIRD HOUSES… ALL MADE HERE….

Long live mike ROWE   .

 

 

Moving on to the Bailey chair which if you remember correctly was a specialized chair to help with the mega safaga's  puppy ..  she has outgrown the little chair before the next size one has arrived .. I'm told it was mailed yesterday and I certainly hope so because she's outgrown the little one and it has been very successful   I had every hope of getting this medium sized chair to use while I ordered the large size for an adult Dane but the production seems to be a little slower than I anticipated . I hope we get there before we have a problem problem with  megaesophagus it's very often something like the  PNE monia where they aspirate . the megaesophagus it is basically some kind of pouch or bulge in the swallowing Department which retains food and doesn't slide quickly into the stomach .that's a medical lesson for the day.. sort of .

YESSTERDAY   WAS RABIES SHOOTING DAY…… BRYAN  (DVM) WAS HERE .. AND HE SAID HE WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH OUR HELP  AT SHUFFLING ?20? DOGS AND PUPS  PAST HIS SYRINGE  DEPARTMENT..    THER ARE SOOOOO MANY BKACK PUPS… HE WAS AMAZWD WITH THE  “ NO THAT IS NOT KARL, KARL HAS 3 WHITEHIRS ON HIS NOSE.” KIND OF THING…  LONG LIVE HARLEQUINS !!  REALLY WHITE WITH LOTS OF BLACK SPOTS… MUCH EASIER TO DECIPHER.

 

SDP HAS  A SUPER CREW.. EVERYBODY GETS EXERCISE SND FINALLY RUNS UP 4 AT A TIME TO THE BACK PORCH FOR SUPPER AND SLEEP.   8. IN THE CONDO … OR 4 IN THE NUTT HOUSE,. 3 IN THE KITCHEN.   THAT WILL WORK TIL THEY GET OVER 50 POUNDS EACH…  THEN KENNEL 10 AND 11 WILL H AVE TO BECOME OVERNIGHT SLEEPING….

--

SO TODAY SCHEDULE----.. ONE  MORE  ROAD TO TRAVEL… GOT TO GET  A FEW MORE 2 X 6’S TO PUT LEGS ON THE FEEDER FOR 8  TO GO IN THE ARENA..   MAYBE EVEN GO TO THE DUMP….  TO EMPTY THE TRAILER IN TH MEANTIEM/..



Hi Carlene,

 

Marnie wanted to check in with you, so Mom is typing this message on her behalf.  Marnie wants you to know that things are going swimmingly even though keeping Mom upright can be difficult some days.  Marnie works really hard at it and sometimes she can stop Mom from hitting the ground.  The other times, well she is there to help Mom up—which has become easier for Mom after lots of practice.  Marnie wants you to know that she loves going out with her vest even though she and Mom don’t go out everyday because….well, because there aren’t many safe places to go with an immune suppressed Mom.  But, Marnie says she loves running with her Doodle brother in the front acreage which she does get to do everyday.  Marnie and her Doodle (Hamilton) are best friends.  They play fight and snuggle most of the day.  Marnie says she is even learning to like the little old Sheltie who tries to run the house.  Marnie says she doesn’t have much else to report but she wants to make sure you know that she and her Mom feel blessed to have been paired by your wonderful SDP and they thank you for your vision and work in creating and running SDP all of these years.

 

Best from Marnie & Peggy



Good Morning!
Eve Finn and I flew to Omaha on Sunday For Eve’s surgery which was yesterday. It went very well. It turned out to be an easy straight forward procedure with minimal trauma and pain. Which is nice for a change. Finn has of course been an amazing travel companion impressing everyone who comes across him with his impeccable manners! Not only that but Eve’s doting companion. Pictures included of him giving her a wellness check finalized with this tiny little lick he gives with his giant tongue yet never slobbery. And upon her return a wagging tail & a more extensive wellness check spending a little more time smelling her breath but again giving his approval before backing away. Also the video is what it looks like when I take him out to do his business every time. Leaving her room I lead the way, returning he leads the way. Often I have to remind him to wait for me!! 🤣!
In about a month she can start some therapy and work on weight bearing & walking again assuming all heals well!! Finn will certainly play a vital role in that rehab process!!
So much gratitude &love in our hearts for all SDP & it’s volunteers has done for Eve as well as for the CP family we have gained along the way!

♥️Deb, Eve and Finn
