OCT 5 2020

Vet called at 5:08
Not much change 
They tried taking her off the injectable antibiotic (doxicycline) medication which did not go well.  
They are trying her on an appetite stimulate  and she did take and eat a piece of chicken for them (horray!)
Kidneys are still looking good with no adverse effects from the antibiotics. 
Vitals look good
Still some fluid in chest, around heart and lungs
She is no longer on the heart monitor whereas it has been functioning better.

Her energy appeared to be down a bit today but nothing dramatic.  They did get her up (she was reluctant) and did walk around the entire building, inside and out.

Pending tests:
Should have the urine culture back tomorrow. 
Blood culture takes 1 week, so it should be Friday 
Infectious disease culture (flea and tick bourne) takes 7 to 10 days...so this Friday or next Monday.

Note:  financially, we have reached our deposit amount and will need to make another deposit tomorrow.
(The injectable doxi is $250 a dose x 2 doses a day)

See you in the am
Lynn


I did ask how her spirits are – she is quiet and does get up for them when asked.  Tail is still wagging.

WE WILL HAVE TO RUN DOWN WITH A BANK CHECK....WHICH IS NOT A PROBLEM...

PROBLEM IS I DO NOT HAVE A FICA SCORE...AND CAN NOT RAISE THE SDP CREDIT  CARD  LIMIT. TO DEal with vet charges like this... 

 BECAUSE LONG AGO SOMEOEN TOLD ME TO HAVE ONLY A DEBIT CARD AND WRITE CHECKS...

SO TO GET A HIGH LIMIT CREDIT CARD NOW  WOULD TAKE  TOO MUCH TIME DIGGING OUT OLD ELECTRIC BILLS.TO PROVE I PAY THEM

AND IT IS ME... NOT SDP  THAT HAS TO HAVE A FICA SCORE.


PAYPAL HAS ALWAYS WORKED FINE...  I WONDER.......

SOMEHOW WE WILL GET IT COVERED.   WE DO HAVE THE MONEY... THANKS TO ALL THE CP'S THAT FUN  FUND  IS GROWING AND WILL COVER STOWE.

YESTERDAY AT TEH SHATING SEVERAL PEOPLE HANDED ME BILLS  "FOR STOWE"  

and we did h ave the unexpected bonus of the wayne gretsky, bobby orr, and quilt funds...  so we are good.... but keep thse chicken bricks going


i think the new boiard is all set.....

The 15 puppies are doing beautifully we struggled yesterday to split them between puppy Hill camera and the used car lot interesting Lee they all seem to recognize that somebody was missing from the group so there was a lot of complaining….I couldn't really tell who they were complaining about but because we didn't we didn't split them by their litter but rather the first available ..  and they did well following either Judy or Pam getting them transported to and from the barn somebody did get a blurry photograph of the barreling down the driveway .

it's an art puppy management .. once you start out with a group you have to go forward dogs follow they don't necessarily lead so the puppies will come along behind you and you have to rest assured if you have a straggler that another volunteer will keep track of that puppy you cannot turn around and try and get that one in the group … you also can't even turn around to look at them for fear your trip on somebody so once you start out can a dog food and a spoon for noise you're gonna jog at a good clip until you get into the puppy Hill fence or on the way back into the front door of the house and run on back to the condo area .it's working .

a great deal of time was spent by our smaller volunteers crawling in and out the little hole in kendleton trying to persuade them to go in there until they recognize the fact that it's warm in there and their water is in there then they really have to come up to the condo area for overnight .. there's a lot of dogs there …We're talking 500 pounds of dog with the 15 of them ,

 

There are a few pops that are showing a distinct personality ..  long ago my father who was the one to tell me to pick the puppy whose legs went straight backwards .. also said that normal people would pick a puppy that was jumping up and down at a fence saying take me take me ..but that I should constantly consider wonders sat back Anne analyzed the situation . we certainly have one of those in Capri . she doesn't rush into anything but when she gets there she often dominates it .. very interesting I plan to keep her and see how that develops .it looks like she's the thinker of the crowd .

 We had a few new visitors yesterday for the chatting and we were able to maintain 10 feet distance without much trouble .mothers with children are always a challenge ..

children in general are always a challenge until properly trained

My bedroom is really quite a manufacturing entity .. I still have a lot of the little plastic dishes  with a few toys like monkey fist and pen which I could send off for $15 postage . so there is all that Cardboard boxes an packing tape in one corner ..

 

then there is the monkey fists   this new quarter inch rope from the Netherlands makes a lovely 2 inch monkey fist which Donna is now dying for a red white and blue bunch I think linda's getting $10 each for those ..  And there's always the monkey fist zipper pulls ..

 

since we no longer go to the nursing homes and the pictures are too big to Mail conveniently I have a great quantity of old calendars where I was madding the pictures and taking them too nursing homes decorate the walls with something more enthusia stick then skies and oceans .

 

Keeping the production ahead of orders keeps me busy .At 2:00 AM .

                                                                                            

i am due to take a DRIVERS TEST.... AND I THINK THE RED LIGHTS ON TEH DASH BOARD COULD BER A PROBLEM 

 ANYBODY KNOW ABOUT HTAT????

From Kringle's Mom:

October 4, 2020

Yesterday was the best day I have had in a very long time. Kringle and I were blessed with a very caring friend who drove us to see a very special young man that we had not spent a day with since July 1st. Our hearts are now full of love and admiration for family, our country, and the generosity of others. Yes, we saw Braden and I saw not my child, but a Navy Man. Kringle, Jill, and I were very proud.
