paperwork--- i am sorry....i know it is a new world.... but also in reality, no one has ever--- in 80 years --asked me to prove, with a piece of paper, that my dogs were trained...... without all the uproar, please just look at the dogs. " a piece of paper will hold still for you to write anything on it you want to....."
this concept holds true with someone starting a training facility-- they really ought to have at least one dog of their own... so how does that dog( or dogs.)..behave. if you look back on our "TREE". with the exception of hillary,tina, and carlson. any dog that has been with me has been darn near perfect. the hillary , tina, carlson dogs are actually the people's names who owned the females i " used" for the litter.
an untrained dog will drive a real trainer nuts... and they will fix it.
i see where ipswich, in it's great wisdom, turned down someone's app to start a training facility... when in fact the decision was made by 4 people who - as far as i know- never owned a dog and knew nothing of training-- One of the main concerns was " the odor" 1000 feet away.... talk about not knowing anything about dogs......
when i become town manager, along with being called animal control i would insist on holding--- at the central dog park.... canine good citizen classes for. the kids in town... sort of a canine 4H program... it would do great things for the towns' kids and dogs.

gwen looks like IAN is headed your way even if you are inland on a hill.
my father was always concerned with the septic systems in Florida-- he would not go there just in case ----- this storm does cause a few questions to be asked. along with " you want to build here??? and look up at the boats going by on the mississippi river?
i did hear one woman who was entering her house with a reporter say " oh, i am so glad i vacuumed yesterday". now there is a woman with the right perspective....
with all those flattened. mobilehomes, i wonder if redone shipping containers would have been better?????
now. for more coffee so i can play with my mental blocks.
