So there's lots of jiminy things to write about today ..  Elena finally realized I don't do Facebook so therefore I was not getting the news from Facebook----- I really need to have it sent to me straight away.. and she reported they had made it to the local coffee shop where he very politely demolished one of those whipped cream coffee cup whatever they call it.. and that so far his manners are absolutely perfect -----I wish I could say that for everybody on Facebook..  there are all kinds of people putting out all kinds of information which is dead wrong.... there are people on Facebook who absolutely hate me and cannot wait for anything they can dream up to make my life miserable...   well congratulations... such a worthwhile goal..  And the concepts you can put out on the Internet are boundless...   there is no limit to what you can dream up to hurt somebody..  well how about it-

-   I am thrilled to have jiminy following around his new person From the morning shower to the mid morning coffee break at the local coffee shop..  and she so far reports his behavior as perfect..  Elena said she would bring him back this week for a few of his toys..  namely the the heavy duty fluffy bed blanket whatever that Janine bought for him..  if not for sleeping next to her bed it would do in the back of the car. And when he gets in the car to leave goldies farm again the last command he will hear from me. is  “GO”--  he proved he knew what that meant when Elizabeth and Elena we're walking him Meredith farm..  he spotted me in the car and came back and I told him to “go”--  so he turned around and ran back to them.   My generic training  includes not only “COME”. But also “GO”

It does come in handy when you least expect.....

I remember lying on the ground in the MBTA parking lot awaiting the ambulance after we both had been electrocuted.....—and one of the fireman had taken Bentley’s  leash in order for him to put him in my car---  bently objected to leaving me until I said “GO” and he turned around and walked off --- no problem..

 

The rest of that story was that Chaos was also in the car ( it being winter – no heated car problem....   and I was only practicing elevator training....)  so the fireman put bently in, drove to the emergency room  where both bent and chaos followed me in ( off leash_ ) and lay  Down—both of them   beside my gurney for ?an hour? While  someone managed a ride to come get me/them and my car...

Bent and chaos were both big dogs--- lying there in the active  emergency room  -- one of those time when I was really pleased with their behavior...all 300 pounds of them !!   what they could have done in that ER. Defies description....

 

Well then there are the internet experts who are commenting about my having a puppy—or heaven  forbid...2 puppies.... maybe they don’t remember—the most dogs I ever handled at once was the 34 for the pet shop ad... in downtown traffic in Newburyport—the photo is still around somewhere... and my usual puppy management of the original litter of 8 dogs which went to all the picnics on the crazy bed.... those photos are still a round too...---what it takes is planning ahead—which is what I am trying to figure out now....

 The rug on this floor  is a problem--- until you realize no one knows or cares that wanda has literally used the whole  rug  as her litterbox--- but she’s so small and cute....—who knew??   I knew- and it was wanda- therefore acceptable...

So let me work on the project—the fact that the door to the deck opens the “wrong” way is my biggest problem at the moment...

 

To the new comer who wrote “ why if you need more pasta don’t you just go to the market and buy some”.  I wish I could find more pups that easily... but I am working on it...

Stay tuned and let me try and figure it out...  I have done this before..
