ALL IS WELL

 

PUPPIES ALL OVER THE LIVING ROOM

 

COUPLE COMMENTS

 

THE LESSON OF THE IMMEDIATE EXCUSE

 

RE: PATTING PUPPIES ON THE HEAD.

 

JODI ( WHO HAS A DANE SERVICE DOG) SAYS SHE HAD AN AUNT WHO PATTED HER IN THE HEAD - AND SHE HATED IT-- SO WE MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING--

 

NO HEAD PATTING- PAT THE OTHER END- WHATEVER.

 

WE HAVE HAD  MORE THAN A FEW DOGS THAT HAVE HAD NO EXCUSE FOR BEING HEAD SHY-- GET IN PUBLIC WITH A  DOG LIKE MANNY WHO RUNS BACKWARDS AT THE SIGHT OF SOMEONE'S HAND--- AND IMMEDIATELY THE PUBLIC WILL SAY 
"MUST BE A RESCUE WHO WAS BEATEN--- "

AT WHICH POINT I HATE TO SAY - "NO HE WAS BORN AT OUR PLACE" 

 

THERE IS ONE HUGE LESSON HERE

AND I AM IN TO  it ?how many years?  30ish?

WE HAVE HAD OUR SHARE OF HEADSHY DANES -- AND I STAND AROUND AND SAY "DANES ARE NATURALLY TIMID"  WHICH THEY MIGHT BE--- BUT I  HAVE ALSO USED THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO STOP THINKING--- THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE EXCUSE

 

I TOOK IT-- I AM BAD-  I HATE THAT IN OTHER TRAINERS-- AND I BET I HAVE DONE IT THERE--

 

WE WILL NOW CHANGE...  PAT THE OTHER END  AND SEE WHAT THE RESULTS ARE IN 5 YEARS

 

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THAT????????

************************

 

NOW FOR THE BUSINESS DISCUSSION OF THE DAY

 

I CHANGED CAR INSURANCE TO GEICO-- AND WAS SHOCKED AT THE PRICE OF THE SAME COVERAGE--

BUT THE REAL SHOCKER IS THE PAPERWORK INVOLVED..

 

GEICO EMAILED ME A BUSINESS CARD SIZE NOTE  TO CARRY WITH ALL THE INFO I NEEDED.

 

THIS FARM FAMILY ----MY OLD INS COVERAGE----JUST SENT ME 3 PAGES  OF NUMBERS, DOLLAR SIGNS, BIG WORDS , EXPLINATION OF THE BIG WORDS ( WHICH I DO NOT UNDERSTAND) - THINGS THAT ARE EXCLUDED IN ILLLINOIS AND CALIFORNIA-- AND NO WHERE DOES IT HAVE THE VEHICLE INVOLVED.

 

I STAND CORRECTED--- 2 PAGES OF INFO-- THE THIRD SHEET IS ABSOLUTELY BLANK

 

 NO IDENTIFYING THE VEHICLE-- INK IS EXPENSIVE  I GUESS...

***

COVERAGE OF THE BMW WAS  ABOUT 950/YEAR WITH FARM FAMILY - AND GIECO GAVE US THE SAME COVERAGE FOR $550

 FOR BOTH  BMW AND DURANGO .

 

IT PAYS TO LISTEN TO LITTLE GREEN LIZZARDS.

***********************

 

TODAY-

 

I BRAVED THE STORM YESTERDAY WITH MANNY AND WENT FULL CIRCLE OF COSTCO-- I DON'T OFTEN USE THE WORD "MADHOUSE"  BECAUSE OUR NORMAL LIFE AROUND HERE APPROACHES THAT TERM...   BUT IT WAS CROWDED-- TO THE POINT THAT HE DID  NOT HAVE ROOM TO SHY FROM ANYONE.  AND HE WAS GETTING BETTER

'

I WILL ONLY SLIGHTLY MENTION THAT HILLARY HAD TESS WITH HER--- AND NEEDED HER CARDBOARD--- TWICE.

 

THE ONLY REASONS I MENTION THAT  IS--- SOMETHING WILL TEACH ALL OF YOU TO USE A COUPLE PIECES OF CARDBOARD TO SHOVE A PLASTIC BAG IN YOUR BLUE JEAN POCKET..... AT ALL TIMES..

 

AND THE SECOND TRICK OF THE TRADE IS TO USE THE SHOPPING CART TO HIDE WHATEVER UNTIL YOU CAN CLEAN IT UP--- AND PEOPLE WILL ASSUME YOU SPILLED SOMETHING OUT OF THE CART.

 

AND IF THE DOG YOU ARE HANDLING HAD A HAM SANDWICH YESTERDAY--- YOU COULD EASILY MAKE THAT 4 CARDBOARDS AND 2 GROCERY BAGS---  

 

EXPERIENCE COMES FROM BAD EXPERIENCES

 

I HAD MINE IN AN AIRPORT IN GERMANY  WITH A VERY CONFUSED PUPPY AND  A STACK OF BEVERAGE NAPKINS THAT ONE PERSON HANDED ME-  THE REST OF THE PLACE WAS LAUGHING AT THE FOOLISH AMERICAN WHO DID NOT PLAN AHEAD.

 

YOU WILL LEARN - ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

********************

 

SCHEDULE TODAY-

 

USUAL SUNDAY

WE WILL BE HERE--- WITH HAM AND SOME EARLINE PRODUCTIONS- SO WE SHOULD NOT STARVE...

-- SHOULD BE A NICE ONE-- WE MAY GET THE PUPS TO THE T-TENT -- OR AT LEAST THE V-PASTURE.

******************

 

WE DO HAVE A PUP OR TWO WITH AN ODD COUGH--  COULD BE THE INTRO OF SOLID FOOD AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PRACTICE AT SWALLOWING YET... 

BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THIS BEOFRE

 

GFEORGE SAID MAYBE A SLIGHT CASE OF KENNEL COUGH

 

IT IS SLIGHT-- BUT EVERYONE SHOULD NOTE WHEN ETC...  IT IS MINOR--- I HOPE IT IS NOT FRANKIE  OR MERLOIW --- THEY DON'T COUGH

 

*********************

 

JANINE IS PUTTING THIS ON THE BLOG--- SO IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON JOINING US ON A SUNDAY--- IT IS POT LUCK- 

*************************

CUTTING AND PASTING.....

 

PRISCILLA OWNS OLIVE---

 

I am very excited.  Calender is marked.  If it took we are looking at June 22 to 24   Priscilla.

puppy progress

 

last night crimson would not be quiet-- and the rest were sleeping

she tried climbing the short fence- finally i let her out and she went over to the furnature moving mat-- which someone had previously christened--sniffed once and moved her bowels..  GOOD MOVE

 

i was not thinking of that communication yet...  wow

 

that mat is not where i would have chosen to start the sniff training-- it is soooo big to wash  but apparently a puppy pad with appropriate smear might be called for now

 

they are all around my feet--- having had breakfast--- and mom jumped  in the pen for some peace and quiet while the pups roam th e living room

 

******************

 

met with the dane for therapy testing-- nice dog--- not afraid to have people think it is ours.  I AM SURE IT WOULD PASS THE PUBLIC ACCESS TRAINING OF ADI

**************

megan and bud held manny and frankie while i walked around with the other dog.

manny is picking up the concept-- go somewhere - do somehting-get in the ambu- go home

 

now frankie is still woowooowowo  we are going somehwhere---  and for the first ime in my life i had a dane put the ambu in reverse-- i was driving slowly--- but reverse is not drive-- the good ole ambu didn't complain much and happily continued as we shoved it back in drive.

 

and frankie and manny are not best friends as they battled for attention in the door of the van--- and again in harness

 

unfortunately blood shows on a white dog-- it is only a couple tiny punctures-- but enough for everyone in public to mention.-

-"he was bickering with his brother" is the response-- otherwise some will assume the tiny hole was caused by him being beaten with a club.

 

****************

 

we also went to macco to see the bottom dollar for repainitng a van--- $350    that might =be the way to go with the counsil of aging van.  so for $351 we would have a decient looking vehicle--- that i still could not loose in the parking lot.

*************

and a trip to the home for the deaf--- for ,More elevator trAINING- FOR MANNY-----

THEY WERE VERY HAPPY TO SEE US--- AND I GOT IN A MINISCULE BIT OF SIGN LANGUAGE PRACTICE...

 

IT IS SO SIMPLE TO GET THERE--  MAYBE I SHOULD SHOW THE THERAPY DOG PERSON  THE ROPES THERE-- THEY WOULD LOVE HER TO GO

 

************************

I HAD AN EMAIL FROM BONNIE-- WHO HAS BEEN AMONG THE MISSING-- PROBABLY STRUGGLING WITH HORSE CARE IN THE WINTER-

AND REMINDED HER WE DO SUNDAY STEW- REGARDLESS OF THE EASTER FACTOR.

 

  I PLAN TO GO TO COSTCO TODAY--- AND WILL BUY A HAM FOR SUNDAY  --- PRESLICED IF THEY HAVE THEM..

***********************************

JANINE SAID THE BLACK AND WHITE STUD LOOKED A LITTLE COLLICKY BUT WHEN I CHECKED LAST NIGHT IT WAS NIBBLING HAY-- HAD NOT TOUCHED THE GRAIN  BUT EATING HAY.-

 

PLAN IS TO TRY AND SEE IF WE CAN TELL IF HE IS TRAINED TO DRIVE-

THE USUAL WAY IS TO PUT ON THE HARNESS-- AND STAND BACK AS YOU PUT THE CRUPPER UNDER HIS TAIL-- AT WHICH POINT YOU MAY GET SOME INDICCATION  AS TO HIS TRAINING LEVEL...

 

WHICH YOU CAN ADDRESS AFTER YOU CATCH HIM FROM RUNNING AROUND BUCKING.

********************

 

AND FRANKIE GOT A RABIES SHOT-  WE COULD NOT WAIT ANY LONGER  FOR PAPERWORK--

 

BARBARA--- ARE YOU STILL CHASING HIS AKC PAPERS--- THEY WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE---

BUT WITH MY AVERSION TO AKC REGISTRATION  THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY.

IF ANYONE DOUBTS HE IS PUREBRED, I PROBABLY WOULDN'T SELL THEM A PUP ANYWAY  (ALONG WITH I REALLY DO NOT INTEND TO SELL PUPS-- UNLESS THE NESXT FEMALES WE BREED HAVE 13 PUPS EACH !!!!)

 

I HAVE SEEN THOSE "AKC PAPERS" GET SOLD  WITHOUT A DOG ATTched.

some ppeople buy a pup - and the breeder gicves them limited registration-- and then then decide they want to show-- so they find a breeder with "extra" papers--- and buy them.

 

more akc paper chasing

 

lynn-- try darlene--- or vinnie again for gigi's  and

can someone else try and keep track of dakota's

 

speaking of her---  dakota is close to jumping the fence--- and she is definitely dog aggressive--- that is why we were given her..  so if dogs are running loose she should be in kennel 9 or 10

 

*-******************

critical info

i saw someone yesterday in patting the puppies , pat them on top of their head--- and the puppy pulled back like manny does-

made me wonder

from the puppy standpoint is getting banged on top of the head a good thing?

 

i think maybe not-

 

so lets go for chin scratching and belly rubbing instead of head  hitting-- which is what they could think at this point.

***************

 

hillary is here today with dog duty--- with bumpy--- as olive is nearing  breeding stage

 

chaos should be showing heat also  soon.

 

schedule--  costco about 10am

if anyone wants to ride and save gas show up by then

 

Friday, April 22, 2011

I NEED A SIGN ON THE DOOR "DON'T TREAD ON ME"   ALL THE PUPS ARE LOOSE--

I STARTED TO FEED OUT OF A DISH-- ONE AT A TIME-- AND THEY AS THEY LOST INTEREST THEY WANDERED-- ALL EXCEPT CHARLIE-  HE IS GOING TO BE -ANOTHER HEY DAWG  HE REALLY DOES NOT LIKE HIS FEET SLIPPING -- AND MUCH PREFERS A MAT

 

THE MERLE IS LIKE A DRUNKEN TANK TRUCK

XL IS A LOUD COMPALINER-- NEW CONDITIONS HAVE HER VOCALING AN OBJECTION- MCOULD NOT SETTLE UNLESS IN THE PEN WITH HER "BANKIE"

PI AND CORKY ARE INVESTIGATING--  BEING  COBWEB COLLECTORS

**********************

 

 

LATER UPDATE--- PI CHARLIE AND CORKY SETTLED ON A MAT OUTSIDE THEIR PEN--- AND MADE A WARM PUPPY PILE

 

XL HAD TO BE PUT BACK IN THE PEN--- AND SETTLED RIGHT AWAY

 

CRIMSON STARTED COMPLAINING -- LONG AND LOUD-- WOULD NOT SETTLE ON THE PUPPY PILE OUTSIDE THEIR PEN-- AND FINALLY I HAD TO LIFT HER BACK IN- AND SHE SHUT UP AND SNUGGLED IMMEDIATELY

NOW LETS SEE IF THOSE PERSONALITIES  HOLD

****************************

 

KAREN AND HUSBAND LEFT-- HAVEING  MET SEVERAL OF THE BOARD AND VOLUNTEERS-  SHE COULD WALK PERFECTLY AND A LONG DISTANCE WITH BAILEY-- WHO BEHAVED ON THE BUTTON-- SHE CAN--- BUT SOMETIMES NOT.

 

SHE GOT THE LECTURE FROM ME "JUST DON'T PLAN A THING TIL YOU GO DOWN THE DRIVEWAY WITH A DOG"  BUT AT THE MOMENT IT LOOKS LIKE ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO.  IT WORKS BETTER FOR HER IF SHE GOES ON VACATION-THEN COMES FOR TRAINING WITH THE DOG--THAT WOULD BE 1ST PART OF JULY... SO IT MEANS WE CAN TRY AND SQUEEZE  OTHERS AROUND THAT-----MAYBE BEFORE--

 

************************

 

I MET WITH THE UNEMPLOYMENT  OFFICE YESTERDAY-

IT WAS INTERESTING...

MANY TIMES I WAS TOLD BY THE DEFENDENT " THE PROBLEM WAS ... ALL I HAD TO DO WAS XXXXXX"

**CHANGE HER EMAIL

**WALK TO THE BARN TO GET THE CAREFULLY STACKED TOWELS

**KEEP THE COLOR CODED LEASHES IN THE PREDESTINED SPOT-

**SIT DOWN AND HAVE COFFEE INSTEAD OF SENDING THESE DAILY DOGGIE EMAILS.   ETC ETC

 

WITH ZERO REGARD THAT MY JOB WAS TO TRAIN AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO "MAKE THE PAYROLL"

 

IT WAS INTERESTING.

 

WE ARE TO HEAR IN 14 DAYS- AND THE "INVESTIGATOR" SAID IF WE DID NOT APPROVE WE COULD ASK FOR ANOTHER HEARING.

 

I HAVE A FEELING --IT MAY CONTINUE TO BE INTERESTING.

 

*******************

 

TODAY- 

 WE CAN NO LONGER WAIT FOR FRANKIE'S RABIES PAPERWORK

AND WILL GO TAKE HIM FOR ANOTHER...

ON OUR (MEGAN AND I ) WAY TO LAHEY WHERE I HAVE TO "OBSERVE" A DOG AS A THERAPY DOG.-  IT IS CERTAILNLY 99% DANE- WITH A BEAGLE TYPE HEAD?? NICE DOG- BUT I AM ASSUMING LAHEY WILL FIGURE IT IS ONE OF OURS AND NOT FUSS IF WE DO A  QUICK RUN AROUND.

ELEVATORS ETC.

 

AND WE WILL HAVE FRANKIE AND PROBABLY MANNY

*************

MANNY IS ONE OF THOSE DOGS WHO IS AN EVERYDAY DOG-- SKIP A DAY OF TWO AND HE REVERTS TO WHATEVER YOU WERE TGRYING TO OVERCOME.

APPARENT;LY HE HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE LOUD BUZZER THAT ANNOUNCES THE ARRIVAL OF THE ELEVATOR IN NORDSTROMS.  SO WE WILL BE THERE ALSO IF WE GET A CHANCE.  MEGAN HAD TO PRACTICALLY CARRY HIM OUT OF THE ELEVATOR.

******************

 

THE COUNCIL OF AGING VAN LOOKS TERRIFFIC AND MAY BE OUR SUMMER VEHICLE-- IT SEEMS TO WORK GREAT-- I KNOW THE AIR CONDITIONG IN THE AMBU IS NON EXHISTANT-- I AM HOPING THE COA VAN WILL WORK FINE.- AT LEAST THAT WHEELCHAIR LIFT BECOMES AQ GATE SO I COULD LEAVE DOORS OPEN IN THE SUMMER ON MANY DAYS AND MANAGE TO TAKE 2 SETS OF DOGS FOR TRAINING.

IT WILL BE FUNNY IF THE A/C WORKS AND THE HEATER DOES NOTG///  BECAUSE THE HEATER IN THE AMBU IS FINE... SO WE MAY HAVE  A SUMMER AND A WINTR VEHICLE.

-  THERE IS ONE NEW TIRE AT LEAST.; AT THAT RATE FOR $1  IT IS A BARGAIN-=-

 

 LOVELY BRAND NEW SEATS..  WE CAN SCREW THEM INTO THE TRAINING ROOM FOR BACKING IN PRACTICE... WE WILL MAKE IT WORTH  THE $1.

*****************

 

PROBABLY PISTOL  AKA CLARA CAN GO HOME TODAY--- I WILL HAVE TO ASK BOBBY FIRST. AND THEN LET HER KNOW.

 

April 21, 2011

i have donned my orange outfit--- to remind me-- we really should try pistol again...with our scientific "life span of a sperm" study that was done Sunday afternoon...   if she is still in heat ... we better   fil'er up... again today.

 

speaking of filling up... tom said gas may go to $6/gal

 

i have a way of making it $2 again-- commute with 2 friends-

there will be a direct ratio- hopefully---  the higher the price- the higher the concentration of humans per vehicle.

an unamerican concept i know.

 

but maybe

 

along with studying the number of trash trucks going to maine, i study the number of occupants in a car.

 

back to filling up pistol... megan.... get ready--- actually paul will be here today too.

 

so we have the correct inseminating  pipettes  18" long--- by actual measurement

they only need to be ?10"?-- these must be for a horse -

the reason i don't want to use the long stiff plastic is all that leverage if she moves-

 

and if we cut it off we are dealing with the rough  edge   

 

george....... you there today?

 

last time i used the "soft" plastic hose  - same diameter-  and it slid into place easily--- well actually  it slid into her- somewhere-- no yellow fluid came out so it was not her bladder--- 

 

and janine just called-- to say the little black and white horse stud is still here-- and has no owner ( not sure how that happened)  but you know my theory on fate--- and here i sit with those 18"long pipettes for sperm delivery

 

how would everyone like a black and white spotted mule????

 

A quick note before we leave. JoAnne called last night

and said Scott was very impressed with their visit to the

farm. They have reviewed many charities and SDP ranks

high in their list.

See you in a couple of weeks,

 

Polly&Bob

*******************

i think what really hit home was the statement "i have learned to keep the volunteers entertained- otherwise i would have to pay them"--- he thought about that and chuckled a long time on that.

***********

entertaining may include chickens  but a mule... i think that might be too much...it might change mary's perfect personality.

 

April 20, 2010

KAREN  AKA SPECIAL ED TEACHER FROM, NY  HAS ARRIVED AND  IS IN THE GUEST HOUSE WITH HER HUSBAND. SHE IS HERE FOR A MEET AND GREET-- TIL PROBABLY THURSDAY  SO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GREET COME OVER..

 

WE WILL BE OUT ON THE TOWN  10:30 ISH -- PROBABLY LIBERYTREE MALL FOR A WALK AROUND.. MAYBE WITH DAVID TOO.

 

IT IS GOING TO BE A BETTER DAY THAN YESTERDAY-  GETTING DRESSED...I PUT MY SHIRT ON INSIDE OUT- AND TODAY I NOTICED IT.

 

OTHER THAN WORMING THE PUPS--( HOW EXCITING THAT IS ) I WILL DEFER TO THE CUT AND PASTE DEPT

***************

EARLY SANDY IS IN THE TORNADOS

 

Hello Carlene:

                             I am sure you all heard about the 70 tornado's that hit the area I am still in shock to see the damage that is here we really  lucked out where my daughter lives they were all around us at one point they were just 5 miles away we had the closet really to get into  the things were flying every where out side it was something else.  The reain outside was something else and the clouds I have never seen anything that that before you could see where the funnels were coming through , the tops of the trees were just taken off and the houses were just demolished I guess after seeing that the snow storms are not so bad after all.  we should be able to leave on saturday to be home for Easter since I am cooking for everyone . have a great easter and will see you the foweling sunday
 *****************

 

GAY HAS ARRAINGED FOR US TO LOOK AT A WHEELCHAIR VAN FOR $1

 

 

Hi Carline;

 

The COA van we discussed is parked in the Wenham DPW yard. Last week it was started up with no problem. We would like to have you and/or someone from the Service Dog project come to Wenham to see and drive the van to confirm you would still be interested in receiving it.

 

Jerry and I are in Maine and will be returning tomorrow (Wed.) afternoon. We are planning on dropping by on the way home to discuss this with you. We also some cardboard pickups and newspapers for the little ones.

 

Gay Roland

Hi Carlene, love all these pics by Mark and Barbara.  I am currently awaiting my mom’s final breaths at the Kaplan House at Hospice of the North Shore and there is a gazebo which we see from our window.  In this gazebo are benches with the donors names on them and one says that is was given by Mark and Barbara Amirault in memory of a relative.  Just wondering whether this is your camera Mark and family.  If so please let them know that I have sat upon that bench and given thanks for their donation and said a prayer for their loved one.

they have already had dry puppy food ground in the blender with goatsmilk for a bit of a breakfast..--  nearly a tablespoon each a good quantity for  today

 

as for their training--- we should start calling them by name as we pick them up to feed them--

it is such a relief to haVE 5 DOGS THAT DO NOT LOOK ALIKE.

AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE THAT WITH THE YEARLINGS IN THE BARN--- MORE CHICKEN STRIPS-- CALL --- FEED ---LET GO---

ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE 2 RUNNING TOGETHER--- CALL ON--- FEED ONLY THAT ONE-- THEN GO ON.

 

now that i am up-- the PUPS are all sound asleep.

***********************

NOW AS FOR BEING CHEW TOYS-- CHAOS IS A KNOWN "MOUTH-ER"  CHEWS ON PEOPLE'S ARMS--- THAT IS TO BE DISCOURAGED...  NOW TESS--LOVELY QUIET TESS DECIDED TO CHOMP ON KATIE YESTERDAY-  THERE WAS ALOT OF EXCITEMENT  WITH DOGS RACING AROUND---

 

I THINK WE HAVE BEEN A LITTLE LAX IN THE CHEERFUL DEPARTMENT--- WE NEED TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE AROUND YOU DO NOT RACE AND CHEW.  THIS WILL STOP IMMEDIATELY IF WE CARRY MORE CHICKEN STRIP TREATS-- CALL-- WAIT ( TO MAKE THEM STAND STILL)  THEN TAKE IT.

 

WHEN THEY REALLY GET GOOD--- YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SAY WHOA FROM A DISTANCE-- THEN WALK TO THEM TO GIVE THEM A TREAT.

 

I TOOK BAILEY WITH ME TO THE  DR YESTERDAY--- AND WAS PAINFULLY AWARE SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO PARTICIPATES IN GENICERIC LIVING  WITH GRACE AND EASE.

 

THE REST MUDDLE THRU--  TIME THEY GOT SERIOUS.-

 

MAYBE ONE LOOP AROUND THE POND  RUNNING ON A LEASH WITH THE GOLF CART  MIGHT TAKE SOME OF THE STARCH OUT OF THEM-  THEN CONTROLLED LIVING.

 

AND MEGAN- WHEN YOU ARE WORKING AROUND- YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A DOG LOOSE WITH YOU- ( AND TREATS IN YOUR POCKET)

 

EVERY TIME YOU ARE HANDLING A DOG YOU ARE TRAINING IT.

 

DO NOT COME THRU A DOOR TIL I TELL YOU

DO NOT JUMP INTO THE CAR TIL TOLD.

AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND 4 ON THE FLOOR.

 

THEY ARE BIG- CUT THE NONSENSE.

******************

 

TODAY-

 

SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVE US CONSIDERABLE GRANT MONEY-- ARE COMING TO LOOK US OVER-  ABOUT 9AM

 

HOPEFULLY WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE--- BUT THEY HAVE TO REALIZE WE ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS.

 

WHICH REMINDS ME--- I SAW MERLOW TAKE THE MORNING" PAUSE THAT REFRESHES" RIGHT WHERE PEOPLE PARK..

 

DETAILS DETAILS

*****************

 

NEWS OF 5 PEOPLE BITTEN BY A RABID FOX REMINDS ME WE HAVE NEVER GOT THE PAPERWORK FOR FRANKIE-- SO WE BETTER TAKE HIM AND GET OUR OWN RABIES PAPERWORK.

 

AS FOR BLUE DOG PAPERWORK--  DAKOTA'S MOM IS STILL LOOKING--- AND LYN WAS CHASING GIGI'S 

ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU WILL WISH YOU HAD IT/.

ALTHO THIS BLUE PROJECT IS A VOLUNTEER PROJECT-

 

********************

JANINE HAS SOMEHOW ATTACHED THIS TO THE WEB/BLOG  SOMEHOW

 

I AM NOT SURE HOW-- OR WHY

 

AFTER 17 MINUTES OF "SEE YOU JUST HAVE TO ...XXXXX"

SHE SAID "THERE" 

 

WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

 

April 18, 2011

BOBBY'S SWIMMERS-- WITH THE HELP OF SOME OXYGEN HOSE- WERE IMPLANTED SOMEWHERE IN PISTOL.--

 

 GEORGE--- THAT HOSE- ACTUALLY CUT OFF THE CPAP MACHINE FROM MY SLEEP APNEA TEST- FIT PERFECTLY ON A 60 CC SYRINGE--- AND IT SEEMED TO GO IN EASIER THAN THE PIPETTE NORMALLY  USED...-

OF COURSE I AM ASSUMING IT WENT IN THE CORRECT PLACE--  THERE ARE SEVERAL CHOICES AT THE BACK END OF A FEMALE DOG.

 

I ROUNDED THE CUT EDGE WITH AN EMERY BOARD ( SUCH SCIENCE)

 

AND SINCE EVERYONE NEEDS ALL THE DETAILS.... IT WAS NOT  PERFECTLY MILKY--- BUT DID HAVE A SLIGHT TINGE OF  RED-- CLOSE TO A VERY PALE TANGERINE COLOR.. TO BE EXACT.

 

SHE IS DEFINITELY STILL IN HEAT--- FERTILE HEAT--- TAIL "FLAGGING"

AND THE LEG  MUSCLE SHE PULLED YESTERDAY  PLAYING WITH CHAOS   WAS MUCH BETTER-- BUT WE ALL FELT IT WAS TOO MUCH TO ASK OF HER-TO HAVE BOBBY LEAPING AROUND-- EVEN WITH THE CREATIVE USE OF A BEACH TOWEL-

 

IF SHE DOES HAVE PUPS-- THERE WILL  BE SOME INTERESTING -MEANINGFUL NAMES FROM WHICH TO CHOOSE.

 

AND WE CHECKED THE SWIMMERS ON THE MICROSCOPE PAUL HAS SET UP ON THE COMPUTER-

 

AMAZING  INSTEAD OF LOOKING IN THE EYEPIECES  THE IMAGE IS ON THE SCREEN.

AND CAN BE SAVED AS A FILE--- WHICH I DID AND TRIED TO EMAIL IT TO EVERYONE--- I HAVE YET TOI FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT A JPG--- IT IS A BMP AND NOT EVERYONE CAN READ IT.

*************

 

FUN STEW-  ACTIVE BUNCH --

 WE HAVE AQUIRED A VOLUNTEER WHO  BRINGS GOOD SALADS- AND LIKES TO CLEAN STALLS- AND CAN RIDE- WITH JANINE'S SUPERVISION.

 

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT  THE  CUTE BLACK AND WHITE STALLION FROM THE KILL PENS IS VERY NICE... EXCEPT IS NOT BROKEN TO RIDE.

JANINE GOT ON HIM WITH NO SADDLE AND HE BASICALLY DID NOTHING.. AND THEN SHE PUT A SADDLE ON HIM AND HE SAID "WHAT ON EARTH IS TIED TO MY TUMMY"

 

HE HAS AN OWNER HERE SOMEWHERE-- AND JUST LANDED HERE FOR REASSESSMENT BEFORE GOING TO HIS NEW OWNER.

******************

 

GIGI AND STERLING ( THE MOM AND POP BLUE PROJECT) HAD NICE WARM BATHS-- AND WORE JACKETS IN THE WIND...MEGAN REMARKED GIGI  ENJOYS BEING HUGGED  SO SHE SAT AT BUD'S FEET FOR HOURS- AND MANY PEOPLE PATTED HER-

***

MEANWHILE BUMPY AND OLIVE SPENT TIME ON THE NUTHOUSE  HILL TOGETHER     ....IT IS INTERESTING THAT ALL THESE PEOPLE THINK THE FUTURE PAIRS SHOULD SPEND TIME TOGETHER-- I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE TO PERFORMANCE ON THE 3 OR 4 DAYS WHEN PERFORMANCE COUNTS..

********************

 

WE HAD A VERY NICE SMALLISH DANE HERE FOR THERAPY TESTING-  MUST BE A FULL DANE-- EXCEPT HER HEAD LOOKED LIKE A BEAGLE-S HEAD.

DOG TESTED VERY WELL-  SHE IS UNDER THE  VET CARE OF SOMEONE BESIDES GEORGE-- AND THAT VET HAD TOLD THEM TO FEED HER 3 CUPS OF FOOD TWICE A DAY-- AND SHE IS ROLLING IN FAT...

PER THERAPY DOGS INTERNATIONAL I AM SUPPOSED TO ONLY TEST- AND NOT GIVE ADVICE....  BUT THE DOG  WAS ENTIRELY TOO PUGGY- SO WE GAVE THE OWNER A VISUAL OF WHAT OUR DOGS LOOK LIKE ON 2 CUPS TWICE A DAY AS THE "GENERIC " FEED.

 

GRANTED WE HAVE SEVERAL THAT GET LUNCH-- COUPLE OF THE "PUPS" HAVE HAD A GROWTH SPURT AND ARE A LITTLE TOO BONEY-- BUT THIN IS BETTER THAN FAT--

 

MEANWHILE MERLOW IS SURVIVING ON 4 CUPS 5 TIMES A DAY.

 THERE HAS TO BE SOME ADJUSTMENT FOR CIRCUMSTANCES---   BUT 2 TWICE A DAY IS OUR GENERIC FEED.

 

******************

 

TOMORROW  THE LINN FOUNDATION PEOPLE WILL COME HERE TO "INSPECT" THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE WITH THE MONEY THEY HAVE GIVEN US

 

CONSEQUENTLY TODAY WILL BE SPENT TIDYING UP THE  JOINT.

 

( AFTER MY DR APT AT 9AM)
