dd 11 3



 

time gets awa yfrom me....I did g4t the “board” nearly done

 

biggest news...   penny is now a Yuppy Puppyier.... bud helped with her yesterday without an awful lot of success and then she got up this morning and said did you want me to use my nose or my foot because she can do both and she ate so much so she had to get sick over the whole thing but she is doing it.

 

I know now my grandmothers are such good cooks minus the complications of family they then have a chance to pay attention to cooking maybe but they find out that when you fill the ice box people come and eat out of the ice box that's about where I am right now well actually my ice box is empty but I am onto suvi cooking and I got involved with reading that which is why I'm late with this I was mentally making up the Costco list where if I work very hard I can come up with maybe three type meals

 

pork tenderloin--chicken Stew--in New York sirloin---in a variation of all those ohh bagged and ready to be boiled... When you go through the lahey hospital process of aging you are assigned a social worker who will ask you all sorts of questions like exactly what are you eating for meals and who's getting your meals for you and who's doing the laundry and stuff like that.. I am told that somehow it is possible for either Medicare or Medicaid 2 support a caregiver...  there are details we haven't figured out yet but that does seem to be a fact.  there are parts of my life that are just getting away from me...   mostly of the paperwork variety and the fact that all the trailers need to be re registered in November is a peculiarity of Massachusetts so that has its own bunch of problems nonetheless the which is that serv dog project has just taken one of my trailers which in my world is is eventually going to cause more legal actions to get it back... there is no way then I would have donated a trailer which would carry 14,000 lbs as a necessary piece of equipment to train a dog.

 

speaking of dog training I am delighted with the progress that Bella has made with ziti..  there are some pictures of her working the dog in public and putting the dog through her paces..... and she's had the dog all of what two months now how does that compare to the two years that we so far have in the dogs that are still in my barn.. and the finances  whoo. there are people who are not going to like the numbers produced by 1 little girl trainig 1 little dog..  I reserve any comments regarding a seeing eye dog training...   but the generic balance noise whatever does not take a year or cost $30,000.

Eventually I'd like to have ago add the training involved with the seeing eye dog.... right at the moment I know zero about that

teaching a dog not to duck under an awning blows my mind.   But I am at least thinking about it.
