Chipped tooth? $2000 dental bill?? or on television they're now advertising a fake tooth replacement (which doesn't work I tried it didn't work for me) but let me tell you what did work for $9.95 I bought probably a year's worth of dental wax it's actually made to cover the orthodontic wires .. But I've been wearing that wax now for three months the cover actually lost filling in my front tooth and you really can't tell... Well let me rephrase that the difference is not worth $2000... and thus far I've only lost 2 tiny pieces.. lost as in swallowed------ granted I can't eat corn on the cob but I can cut the corn off the cob for a lot less than $2000...   Besides whatever the dentist would do would I'm sure hurt and there's wax doesn't hurt at all coming or going.

 

I'm very happy to report that jimany finally had a bowel movement this kind of thing can be a problem with the dog who's used to being off leash to sniff out the proper place to move his bowels,,, I'm not sure what ellenas neighborhood looks like but I have a feeling that Elena puts the leash on it takes chimney for a walk and as far as Jimmy is concerned they are out there for a walk to go somewhere and he's not concentrating on moving his bowels but I did get an e-mail this morning reporting that she had now been successful-------I was gonna suggest that dh enring him here  to take care of that detail and then just take a piece of it home with her and put it somewhere and see if and it wouldn't have the correct smell and indicate where she would prefer he take care of this detail/

 

If she did have to bring him here I was going to have a good time seeing how these people on the Internet could turn that into something that I did wrong... Well I will admit that learning to move their bowels and pee while on a leash it's something I don't usually work on.. since my dogs have always had and in out door they become naturally house broken=== I'm not sure I could have the time or concentration on training to house break a dog... The first thing a puppy learns is to crawl toward momma's warm body to get some milk... the second thing a puppy learns is to crawl away from momma's body to get away from her flipping him around licking at his business areas To keep her nest clean... that's as good an explanation as anything,,, a pup will tend to crawl away and pee and come back at a very very young age I'm not sure they can even see it but I've seen it. so taking that instinct forward for a year and a half two years there might be a hesitancy to move their bowels on a leash...

 I watch these people daily. walking their dogs up and Down boxford Rd. In all weather and stand there very dutifully as the dog does his thing.... I think if I had to do that I might never have had a house dog.. I have always managed to arrange some in out situation where they can solve the problem themselves.

 

 as I'm trying to figure out right now if and when I got a puppy or two... I'm going to have to figure out how the puppy can get out onto the deck without my help... And without losing too much heat to the outside world... It is bound to be some collection of duct tape and that polymax sheeting which I do like so well--- comes from farm tech. in five foot by 10 foot sheets... which they send to you by freight all curled up in a 5 foot cylinder unless you opt for the very thick stuff which could not be curled... 

 

I haven't yet called the breeder about buying a pup from her because I haven't yet figured out how to sound anywhere is near normal... basically what I want is a colorful puppy to go with me to these daycare centers.. and in the process I guarantee you I will have a well trained puppy within a month or two which eventually I could just plain give to somebody or keep... as I did with pasta--- a well trained dog is almost guaranteed to have a better life than an untrained dog... and I think you've heard me say that  it's about the same for children....

 

Today's schedule is leave here around 9:30 to go to Gardner park by 10:15..   Gardner park is an absolutely lovely adult care center which I personally hate because you park your car  and then have about 100 feet walk in the door with another 40 feet to the elevator which is the slowest elevator in the world---but luckily they now have a chair next to it because there's no way I could stand there forever and wait for it...  this is also the place where larkey  identified the secretary whose blood sugar was off that day ---and she knew it... if we ever decide to take a donkey there it's going to have to ride in that elevator probably -----I suppose I could investigate the front door..... however the donkey project is moving along... and finding the hook for the back of my car which somebody has taken off and put somewhere is my biggest problem at the moment we have a donkey that's pretty good.i need to fined that 3 ball hitch somebody borrowed/ stole. Whatever.... :(
