dd 4.5

actually it's it's taking dictation also will wonders never cease actually Elizabeth poked a few buttons and here we are I don't want to be a pessimist but I hope we stay live.

All the time I was offline I have been working on the Cummings project-bill Cummings it's a local guy who has done things like buy the old shoe factory in Beverly a monstrous complex which is now overflowing with an awful lot of medical people but all kinds of offices and called the coming center

From there he went to 128 which is the highways circling Boston and as you drive through the Woburn area you see absolutely beautiful monstrous buildings with Cummings written on it he like Bill Gates is famous for his generosity and in my past as a service dog trainer he gave me $100,000 way back when I was just kind of starting so that 100,000 was well spent and we eventually donated a bunch of dogs for that including  George the absolutely famous service dog who made the news and trips to Disney World and Hollywood and places like that with his owner Bella who is now around so that name will come up again

 

it may as well come up here because the current story is that after eight or nine years with Bella George passed away and Bella could stand only two days without a  dane-but fortunately Janine had picked up a puppy or two at an auction or two and started the whole family with “PASTA“ who with a couple weeks of training we gave away to a person who just needed one but that family bloodline if you will ----continued with Noodles.--and eventually Ziti  -- so when Bella really needed a dog I was playing with a -- latest rescue literally out of a junkyard-nick #2 was kind enough to drive me to go and look at what had been online as a bad situation of puppies and we got there and there were 9 eight week old pups scampering all over a house and junkyard tumbling around semi biting etcetera etcetera but there was one pup which was not part of the group and it was one of those things where that was either the puppy who is most intelligent or it was sick but I opted to take that one and see what developed      I didn't have the pump more than a week or two well Bella really needed another dog so I gave her that one and in very short order she had that puppy well on its way to being a canine good citizen and eventually being able to pass any ones service dog test that's sort of where we are right now  but add to it that Bella is approaching drivers training. and just lost her job when joann's fabric store closed. so here we go with me with at the entire facility geared to animals both dog and horse etc and Bella needing a job,   there are other pieces to this puzzle I often say it is goalies plan in the first place. but one of my old volunteers V%is back babysitting me turns out she has a dog walking business that is making $1,000,000 welllllll.  almost walking three or four dogs a day. if the weather is good,, and here I sit with things like an indoor arena.. and a few trails through the woods that were started for the veterans project.  while she was babysitting me  she was complaining about some of the training her clients didn't have. and then there's Bello who can train a dog and me who can sit in a wheelchair and tell everybody what to do one of my favorite things and somehow the package could go together and let Bella continue being a good trainer---so the goal at the moment is to have Bella the world needs them let me tell you---so the goal at the moment is to have Bella pursue her canine good citizen inspector rating V5’s significant paperwork type skills and my physical plant of 11.6 acres. maybe Bella you got a good thing going..   we will need the help of all of goldies warriors  from volunteers who stopped by to help out doing whatever needs doing to some financial aid so we're back to Bill Cummings... and goldie's farm

. the Bill Cummings finances have some kind of letter of intent. LOI. Due on July 1^st he did not renew my last grant from him of $100,000 because at that point it was not local enough for him HE  wanted his finances to remain locally----well we certainly are now----so I'm hoping beyond hope that he will pick us up and help us get that whole picture rolling

Good. Morning !!!

And a fool I will be--- I am working into a better routine and I'm very happy to report I'll try--- second try with shoes on I did get up off the floor now do I wanna put down no traction on flooring or just try and remember to wear shoes or slippers with sticky bottoms...

Michelle seems to be an unending source of things her mother never used and yesterday it was an easy slip on pair of shoes that somehow I could not figure out how to slip easily into them at which point Janine came along and did it and gave me the shoes she'd have been wearing that were easier to slip into got that?

Yesterday's mail call was very lively with Elizabeth Michelle and Janine and I as we try to figure out how to do today's job in Rockport--first of all there's two places in Rockport that we go to what is a real nursing home and the other is the absolutely huge daycare center we haven't yet figured out which one we had to go to and we may not know that until we actually are on the road that's not unusual either but we're gonna try but the two bunnies and a couple dogs-  not  Penny--  who is not yet when Bunny proofed... I keep threatening places to use an electric charged collar and this might certainly be one of them but so far I've managed without the electric collar... they are not cruel abusive or anything like that they are a tool and extremely effective if used properly... another tool which I mentioned recently and must get set up is a mousetrap said and then covered with a light piece of newspaper so that when they trap is upset that newspaper will fly in the face of The Upsetters..it would dog proof the trash

The bunnies are not the only significant addition to our operation-at least a year ago I bought a platform for the back of my car which fits in the trailer hitch holder  sizzle?   Out.you want to go outside that put that back back back go on wanda out--- that extension on my car it is supposed to hold the weight of a small scooter I don't think I'll bother with that but it certainly is very handy to put my wheelchair up there it also so far has been very good and identifying my car as a handicapped car since I lost the little thing that hangs in my window ***I will now brave the storm and get in the shower well by myself. just after I sett this off hopefully if I fall down someone will notice I shouldn't fall down and I do have that thing around my neck

 

Many thanks to everybody for the sellout we will do the shatting later today maybe mail call
