MAY 7, 2013

I AM NOT THRU WITH THE CAMERA DISCUSSION.

CAMERAS CHANGE WHAT I WANT THE ATMOSPHERE TO BE.-

THE ODD CELL PHONE PICTURE IS FINE-

IT IS THE VIDEO CAMERAS WITH AUDIO THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE USED HERE.

I SPECIFICALLY SAID LONG AGO-- NO AUDIO- MY GUESTS HERE HAVE NOT SIGNED IN FOR A TV APPEARENCE-

NEITHER HAVE I.. AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT IS BEING SAID-- OR MY SALTY LANGUAGE.

FIRST----

I WAN T PEOPLE TO COME HERE AND ENJOY WHAT WE HAVE WITHOUT LIMITATION-- PEOPLE ARE WELCOME TO WANDER ALL OVER - AND RELAX.---- IT IS SOOO CRITICAL TO THESE PTSD VETERANS WHO COME HERE.

THAT IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAN THE ATMOSPHERE OF THIS FARM BEING A TOURIST SPECTACLE/OR SET OF SOME TV SHOW.

... TO SEE THE LITTLE PUPS CHASING MEGAN UP THE DRIVEWAY IS SUCH A JOY-- AS LONG AS THERE ISN'T SOMEONE WITH A CAMERA JOGGING BEHIND THEM..

I DO NOT WANT THAT. .

SECONDLY--- I WORRY

IT MIGHT NOT BE A CAMERA PERSON TO PULL THIS... BUT ....

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO COULD USE A PHOTOGRAPH OUT OF CONTEXT ---TO MAKE MY LIFE MISERABLE- LIKE BAILEY'S WOUNDS FROM THE DOG FIGHT....THE NUMBER OF DOGS IN MY HOUSE... HUGE PILES OF DIRTY LAUNDRY- THE MANURE PILE- ALL COULD BE USED TO SEND A RAFT OF PEOPLE DOWN MY THROAT.

 I DO NOT NEED THAT.

 WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE CHAN 9 TV CREW COMING TO DO A STORY ON TEAL, LEAVE YOUR CAMERAS HOME.

SAVE THEM FOR WHEN YOU COME HERE IN OCTOBER.

IN THE MEANTIME--- ENJOY CAMERA MARKS PHOTOS BY LAST COUNT HE HAS 43,000 PICTURES FROM HERE.

AND LAST WEEKEND'S http://servicedogproject.shutterfly.com/pictures/17256 has 242 pictures some of them WITH SANTA ARE PRICELESS.

 

FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT, AS I MOVE THE HOUSE CAMERA AROUND I WILL TRY AND SWING IT AROUND TO GIVE SOME PERSPECTIVE TO THE ENVIRONMENT--- THAT WILL HAVE TO DO....I CANNOT HAVE ANY VIDEO TAKEN HERE- IT IS JUST TOO INVASIVE

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

BACK TO GENERIC EVERY DAY PROBLEMS
I AM TOLD THE HAWK DETERANT AROUND THE PUPPY AREAS RESEMBLES A USED CAR LOT WITH IT'S SHINEY STREAMERS AND PINK FLAMINGOS.... COMPLIMENT OF SOME CAMERA PERSON/

HEY--- THEY WORK --- WE HAVE NOT SEEN MR AND MRS HAWK SINCE WE PUT THEM UP.

ALSO THE PUPS ARE GETTING BIGGER. I IMAGINE IF A HAWK TRIED TO PICK ONE UP AND FOUND HE COULDN'T , IT WOULD STILL BE DEVASTATING TO THE PUP...

**********

WE ARE GETTING ORGANIZED. WE ARE FIXING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH WERE POINTED OUT TO US BY OUR GROWTH AND LACK OF FORMAL GUIDELINES--

BOY HOW I HATE THE MONSTER OF PAPERWORK WE--- I ---- NOW FACE- AND HAVE TO -- BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH/ NUMBERS OF DOGS AND PEOPLE INVOLVED. I AM STILL NOT HAPPY ABOUT OUR APPLICATION PROCESS..-- AND I HATE FORM LETTERS, BUT WE ARE TO THE POINT OF HAVING TO SAY TO SOME " YOU MAY APPLY, BUT THE PROBILITY OF GETTING A SDP DOG IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS IS MINISCULE." ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT A VETERAN- BUT EVEN THT DOES NOT HOLD TRUE... SOMETIMES A PERSON COMES ALONG TO OUR SUNDAY STEW AND A LOOSE DOG WILL GRAVITATE TO ONE PERSON- AND IT LOOKS LIKE A MATCH... AND SHOULD BE... SO HOW DO WE COPE WITH THAT--- PAPER WISE???

WE HAVE ABOUT 2 INCHES OF APPLICANTS - ALL SIZES SHAPES AND DIAGNOSIS-

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

ALONG WITH THE BLESSED ATTORNEY GENERAL'S PC FORM.

THAT IS TODAY'S MUST DO. THE 990 WITH IT'S ELIMINATION OF A SDP TANNING SALON- IS ALREADY DONE-- AND PART OF THIS PC THING.

 NOW THAT WE ARE BIGGER-- WE NEED NOT JUST A CPA-- BUT A SPECIAL CPA WHO CAN DO CHARITY PROGRAMS.---- SPENDING MONEY ON THAT REALLY IRKS ME... WE DONATE THESE DOGS-- AND TO PAY $3000 TO HAVE SOME ONE WAVE THIER HAND OVER OUR QUICKEN BALANCE SHEET IS NUTS.... WE ARE SKATING ALONG WITH THE BARE MINIMUM SPENT ON OVERHEAD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY COULD INSIST WE CHANGE.

I DID SPLURGE AND BUY SOME GARDEN HOSE TO WATER THAT FLAT FIELD-- IT IS SUCH A GOOD PLAY FIELD- AND WE HAVE THE WELL RIGHT THERE- WE NEEDED HOSE AND SPRINKLERS-

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

THE CONCEPT OF A NEW TIPI COVER IS MY PERSONAL EXPENSE- EVEN THO WE MAY USE IT IN OCTOBER IF ANYONE WANTS A TRUE CAMPING EXPERIENCE--

IF ANYONE WANTS TO GET INVOLVED IN THAT DISCUSSION ... THE BIBLE IS GLADYS LAUBIN'S(sp?) BOOK ON TIPI'S AND THE OUTFIT THAT MADE MY OLD ONE IS TIPI.COM -- they made thE ONES FOR DANCES WITH WOLVES.-- BEAUTIFUL TIPI'S ...YEAR ROUND HOUSING THAT CAN BE PUT UP BY A WOMAN IN AN HOUR....

THAT IS TRUE FOR AN INDIAN WOMAN--- I TOOK A LITTLE LONGER.

WE ONLY NEED THE COVER.. WE HAVE THE POLES ALREADY STANDING...

 PROBLEM IS THE COVER REALLY HAS TO BE DECORATED-- AND THERE, THE DISCUSSION GETS WILD... HAVE A LOOK TIPI.COM

 *************

I LOVE MY NEW 3 X 6 POO PICKERS WITH THE COMMENTS ON THE BACK... JUST A LITTLE EXTRA CHEER AT THAT JOB IS WELCOM.E.

AND ALL STAFF / VOLUNTEERS SHOULD HAVE THIER OWN SUPPLY OF PICKERS IN THEIR BACK POCKETS

THAT IS THE FIRST ITEM IN EVERY JOB DESCRIPTION " IF YOU SEE IT -- PICK IT UP AND BAG IT." S THE MOST IMPORTANT CHORE.

THE CONCEPT IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CONCEPT OF WHICH GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION IS MOST CRITICAL TO YOUR DAILY LIFE?

THE CONGRESS OR THE TOWN'S WASTE DISPOSAL

WE COULD NOT MAINTAIN CIVIL SOCIETY IF THE TRASH IS NOT PICKED UP FOR A WEEK.

ON THE OTHER HAND CONGRESS HAS BEEN OUT TO LUNCH FOR 17 YEARS AND COUNTING.

******************
TODAY

SHELIA PROMISED TO TAKE ME OUT FOR AN AIRING

GINGER IS HEALTHY AFTER HER SURGERY AND WILL RETURN TO THE KENNEL

 AND HERE IS THE FLOW CHART OF HOW TO MANAGE THIS PROJECT

 

 

I CAN NOT SEE the small print

MAY 6, 2013

FIRSTLY-- THE SHATUPON SOCIETY HAS 2 NEW MEMBERS DEBORAH SINDLING WAS THE WINNER #659 - AND THE RUNNER UP WAS MICHELLE MITCHELL WITH #1000.. DEBORAH WILL RECIEVE NOT ONLY HER MEMBERSHIP CERTIFICATE BUT A SIGNIFICNANT GIFT FROM ME PERSONALLY... NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SDP. REMEMBER WE DON'T LIKE BEING CONSIDERED SOME KIND OF BINGO.. THERE ARE TOO MANY RULES ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING THAT... I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

MICHELLE WILL GET A MEMBERSHIP CERT.

WE HAD TO WEIGH THE RESULTING SPLASH OF GOOP..

WE WERE PREPARED WITH 4 LITTLE CUPS CORRECTLY WEIGHTED WITH SLIPS OF TOILET PAPER TO EXACT THE BALANCE.. IN CASE THE SPLUDGE ENDS UP ON A CORNER OF 4 SQUARES.

YESTERDAY IT WAS AGREED UPON BY THE CROWD THAT THERE WERE ONLY 2 NUMBERS IN CONTENTION..

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

ONLY PROBLEM WAS WE STOOD IN FRONT OF THE EXPLORE CAMERA..THERE WAS A CROWD... BUT NEXT TIME.. WE CAN SET UP A SMALL TABLE WITH THE SCALE AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE POSSIBEL WEIGHING IN OF THE MATERIAL PRODUCED.

******

THE STEW WAS -- A HUGE SUCCESS..I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE FOUND THE DAY AND THE PLACE REFRESHING , RELAXING.... A DAY INTHE SUN CURED ABOUT 6 PEOPLE FROM TERRIBLE MENTAL ANGUISH .

EVEN SANTA WAS HERE TO ADD TO THE JOY OF A DAY IN THE SUN.

I MEAN SANTA-- AS IN CHRISTMAS SANTA--- NOT IN HIS USUAL RED OUTFIT BUT IN COGNITO AND ALSO IN LARRY KING TYPE SUSPENDERS..

EARLENE EXCELLED AS OUR OFFICIAL GREETER ASSISTED BY BLUE GWEN.

 

AND THE FOOD... I THINK WE MAY MAKE IT TO FRIDAY WITH THE LEFTOVERS.--- WHICH INCLUDE A CAKE WITHTHE PHOTO OF OUR 4 DOGS IN THE ICING...

BEAT THAT IF YOU CAN.

I ATE PASTA SALAD AT MIDNIGHT ...

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

THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON HERE WHO'S PURPOSE DID NOT MATCH THE MOLD- SHE - WITH CAMERA IN HAND WANTED TO PHOTOGRAPH ALL THE ROOMS AND WALLS IN THE HOUSE... I HAD TO SAY--- NO--- AS MUCH AS HER PURPOSE WAS LOVELY AND SHARING-- I THINK I HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE.

 WE HAVE ALL THE EXPLORE CAMERAS... AND CAMERA MARK IS WONDERFUL-- MAYBE THAT IS ENOUGH- ANYTHING ELSE IS MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE AND I FEEL INVADED..

 

IF THERE WAS ANYTHING MONITARILY VALUABLE IN THE HOUSE I WOULD REALLY BE WORRIED

 

MAYBE THE PLACE HAS BEEN RANSACKED ALREADY. IT IS HARD TO TELL.

SO TAKE YOUR MEMORIES AWAY FROM HERE IN YOUR HEAD ONLY.. THE CAMERAS DO NOT FIT THE MOLD.

******

WE--SDP--- ARE ALL ENJOYING THE CAMERA PEOPLE WHO ARRIVE TO HELP AND PARTICIPATE WITH THE DOGS .. JOYCE AND FRIEND WERE HERE FOR A COUPLE NIGHTS-- AND WHEN BENTLEY WENT FOR A WALK IN THE BLACK MUD OF THE STREAM, AND NEEDED A BATH-- I SIMPLY TURNED TO THEM AND ASKED THAT THEY SHAMPOO HIM- AND THEY DID--- WITH DIFFICULTY BUT WITHOUT COMPLAINING-- AND IT WAS ENTERTAINING TO WATCH THEM STRUGGLE WITH HIS 160 POUND FRAME.

THAT IS WHAT THIS PLACE IS ABOUT FOR VISITORS. IT IS AN

EXPERIENCE. TO BE SHARED VOCALLY- BUT NOT WITH CAMERA TOURIST STYLE.

***

THERE WAS A LOVELY CP WHO SAT IN WITH THE PUPS-- I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO TALK WITH HER UNTIL SHE WENT OUT THE DRIVEWAY WHEN SHE SAID HER NAME WAS LINDA-- AND I WONDERED IF SHE WAS THE LINDA WHO ENDEAVORS TO HELP PEOPLE AROUND THE INTERNET WITH HER POSTED WHATEVER.

***

AND THERE WERE ?4 NEW VETERANS IN VARIOUS STATES OF DISREPAIR- ONE HAD WIFE AND 5 KIDS WITH HIM-- AND HE HAD T HE PRACTICAL APPROACH TO CHILD REARING THAT ONLY A PARENT OF 5 KIDS CAN HAVE -- AS ONE OF THE OLDER PUPS FLATTENED A YOUNG RUNNING CHILD TO LICK HIS FACE-

I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT LAWSUIT- AND MARIA ( MOTHER OF 5 KIDS ) SAID "HERE'S A WASHCLOTH- THERE IS THE WATER"

****

 

NEXT QUESTION

PEOPLE ASKED ABOUT THE HUGE POSTIT NOTES HUNG ROUND THE OFFICE WHEN THE CAMERA WAS CARRIES THRU..( YOU LOT DON'T MISS MUCH..)

THOSE 2 X 3 YELLOW POSTERS WERE MY DAUGHTERS EFFORT TO PASS SOME KIND OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEST SO SHE CAN PUT PMP AFTER HER NAME, SHE CERTAINLY SUFFERED FOR THAT PRIVILEGE- AND PRODUCED 16 POSTERS TO TRY AND ILLUSTRATE HOW YOU MAKE EMPLOYEES RESPONSIBLE FOR THIER TASKS..... GWEN WAS GOING TO THROW THEM OUT

THEY ARE NOW HUNG IN THE ARENA SO MARK COULD PHOTOGRAPH THEM--

LEGISLATING COMMON SENSE IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT THOSE POSTERS TRY...

*********

AND DOGS ARE BEING PROPERLY PILLED ON SCHEDULE-- AND BAILEY IS LOOKING MUCH BETTER.

AND SO IT GOES

 

I AM NOT YELLING-- I CAN NOT SEE the small print

MAY 5, 2013

I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE 2 CARTONS OF PAPER A MONTH TO TRAIN DOGS... IN OUR PAPERLESS SOCIETY.-

ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TRAIN DOGS IN THE MALL SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO GO OUT IN THE COLD.

WHEN SHELIA OBRIEN CAME TO INSPECT FOR THE ADI ACCREDIATTION- SHE TOLD ME I WOULD JUST HAVE TO DO SOME THINGS I THOUGHT--- NEVER --- AND HERE I AM

SHELIA WAS MAINSTAY BEHIND NEADS - SHE HAD LONG RED FINGERNAILS- AND KNEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT DOGS, BUT WAS A \FANTASTIC BUSINESS WOMAN

****

I REMEMBER MY FIRST MEETING WITH SHELIA ABOUT THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS... I TOOK THUMPER WITH ME- AND A 3X5 INDEX CARD-- I FORGOT A LEASH/COLLAR SINCE I HARDLY EVER USED ONE, THE ONLY THING I COULD FIND IN THE CAR TO FULFILL THE LAW OF ... ON LEASH ... WAS DENTAL FLOSS.

SHELIA ARRIVED WITH TRAINER - SHE HAD 6 INCHES OF LOOSE LEAF NOTEBOOKS- AND A DOG ON A GENTLE LEADER ( WHICH I HATE)-- SHE ALSO RAN NEADS WITH A 4 MILLION DOLLAR BANK ACCOUNT AND I USED GREEN STAMPS TO GET THE GAS TO DRIVE AND MEET HER.

AT ANY RTE TO BE ACCREDITED SHE SAID I HAD TO LOOK MORE LIKE A BUSINESS- IN SPITE OF THE SUPER TRAINED DOGS I HAD.

IT MAKES ME EXTREMELY ANNOYED TO ADMIT SHE WAS RIGHT.

***

ON MY DESK IS A BUNCH OF PAPERS --PC FORM ---FROM THE MASS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE WITH WHOM WE MI\UST BE REGISTERED.

I HAVE TROUBLE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY BECAUSE WHEN WE STARTED 10 YEARS AGO I JUST PLAIN IGNORED THE AG-- UNTIL ABOUT 5 YEARS LATER AND I NEEDED AN---- AG'S NUMBER--

AGAIN - WITH THUMPER WITH ME I WENT TO THE AG OFFICE-- THEY LOVED THUMPER..., THEY EXPLAINED THEY DIDN'T MIND THAT I HAD NOT DONE 5 YEARS WORTH OF FORMS -- FOR $15 EXTRA I COULD JUST FILE THEM AT THE MOMENT-- THERE IN THEIR WAITING ROOM.

I REMEMBER THE DAY--- IT INVOLVED SIGNING MY NAME 147 TIMES- BY ACTUAL COUNT.

SO I SENT OFF THIS YEAR'S PC JUST TO SEE IF IT WOULD FLY..

AND THEY HAVE SENT IT BACK WITH A BUNCH OF THINGS I NOW MUST DO..

THE OLD $15 IS NOW $70---- BUT THE WORST THING IS WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCOUNTANT REVIEW THE BOOKS- WHICH IS NOT ALL THAT BAD... EXCEPT - IT HAS TO BE A SPECIAL ACCOUNTANT WHO DOES CHARITY ACCOUNT REVIEWS- WHICH I AM TOLD IS $3000

IS THERE ANYONE ON THIS EMAIL /CAMERA LIST WHO COULD HELP US WITH WHATEVER THIS CPA REVIEW REPORT IS?

THE OFFICIAL SDP BOOKS ARE WHATEVER REPORT QUICKEN WILL PRODUCE.. IT IS NOT ALL THAT COMPLICATED..

NOT COMPLICATED UNTIL YOU GET INTO HAVING TO PROVE SERVICE DOG PROJECT DOES NOT RUN A TANNING SALON ( QUESTION 14 ON THE IRS 990) THE 990 HAS TO GO WITH THIS PC FORM...

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

ALL OF THIS HAPPENED JUST AS MY DAUGHTER GWEN WAS TAKING SOME /COURSE/TEST TO BECOME A PMP (SOMETHING ABOUT PROJECT MANAGEMENT) TO THAT END SHE MADE A FLOW CHART/ DIAGRAM TO DESCRIBE THE LOGICAL PROCESS OF TRYING TO RUN A BUSINESS. .... ON 16 SHEETS OF PAPER 36 X 24.. AN EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY

OF HOW TO "KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID"--

ONE GOAL TODAY IS TO TAPE THAT UP IN THE ARENA AND GET MARK TO PHOTOGRAPH IT..

I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHAT IT ALL SAYS- BUT IT IS COLORFUL WITH IT'S MAGIC MARKERS OF DIFFFERENT COLORS.

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

WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO -- IS--- WHEN RUNNING A PROJECT, IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE PEOPLE SIGN THEIR NAME FOR EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT THEM TO DO-- AND HAVE THAT FORM DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE PAYROLL DEPARTMENT.

GEORGE MYERS HAS SEVERAL PIECES OF PAPER LIKE THAT AROUND THE VET OFFICE.. AND OUR MED SHEET IS NOT ALLTHAT DIFFERENT.

 PROBLEM IS ... I MUST CHECK IT REGULARLY--

WE MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE IT TO IN FRONT OF THE COFFEE MAKER. SOMEHOW WE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT.

MARIA'S HEAD WORKS LIKE THIS

SHE IS WELL EDUCATED--BY HER 5 KIDS..

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

SO THIS IS SHATUPON SUNDAY

MARK HAS OFFERED TO COOK

2 CP"s ARE HERE (THAT IS CAMERA PERSONS) IN THE GUEST CABIN--- I THINK...

WE HAVE A NEW BLOWER SO THE PLACE IS BLOWN CLEAN--

TODAY'S CROWD WILL BE ASKED TO DO A GATHERING OF THE PINE CONES.. -- THE FLAT FIELD HAS BARELY ANY GRASS-

THE NUMBERING OF THE TABLE WILL TAKE PLACE AT 2:45 AND THE DELIVERY OF THE SH#TTERS WILL BE AT 3:00-

HOPEFULLY THE PUPPY HILL CAMERA WILL FOLLOW THAT--

WE WILL PUT THE NUMBER OF THE NEW SHATUPON SOCIETY MEMBER IN FRONT OF THAT CAMERA-- MY PERSONAL GIFT TO FOLLOW.... WITH THE CERTIIFICATE OF MEMBERSHIP.

AND SO IT GOES

MAY 4,2013

THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE YE OLDE HAPPY DAILY DOGGIE...

IT IS PURE BUSINESS-- SORRY....

I AM BULL PUCKIED.

FOR WANT OF A NAIL THE KINGDOM WAS LOST.

HERE IS THE WHOLE POEM----TO SAVE YOU GOOGLING IT

 

For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

 

WE HAD PROBLEMS YESTERDAY WHICH NEED A SERIOUS LOOK---

AND I REALIZE ---ANY AND ALL PROBLEMS ARE ULTIMATELY MINE TO SOLVE....

 THE MOST WORRISOME IS BAILEY DID NOT GET HER EVENING MEDS FOR 3 DAYS-

IT IS AN ANTIBIOTIC - AND WHAT SKIPPING MEDICINE DOES, IS TO ALLOW THE ANTIBIOTIC TO KILL OFF THE WEAKER GERMS WHICH THEN LETS THE STRONGER ONES FLURISH AND YOU HAVE A REAL MESS ON YOUR HANDS.

THE SYSTEM IS -- WE HAVE A MED CHART AND WHEN MEDS ARE GIVEN YOU INITIAL THE LITTLE BOX--

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

FIRST PROBLEM--

THE EVENING BOXES WERE NOT CHECKED TO INDICATE HER MEDS WERE GIVEN...-

THE EVENING FEEDERS ?

THE MORNING FEEDER WHO WAS TOO DISTRACTED TO NOTICE AND EITHER FIX THE PROBLEM OR REPORT IT TO ME-

AND MY FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING ON EVERYONE ELSE?

 POOR BAILEY- I HOPE SHE IS OK..

**********

NEXT PROBLEM

KENNEL 5 INTHE DEAGLE HOUSE HAD 2 WATER BUCKETS FOR 2 DOGS.-- LUCKILY- BECAUSE ONE WAS BONE DRY-- NOT ONE DROP OF WATER IN IT. THIS IS 1 HOUR AFTER EVERY WATER BUCKET WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CLEAN AND FILLED.

LUCKILY BUD NOTICED IT-

I HAVE ASKED EVENING FEEDERS TO STAND IN FRONT OF EACH KENNEL AND SAY ALOUD---HEAT?? WATER?? --AND THEN COME AND TELL ME IT IS DONE. THAT IS 7 MINUTES FOR THE WHOLE PLACE.

ANYONE CAN FORGET TO WATER ONE DOG... BUT THE PERSON COMING ALONG BEFORE CLOSING TO STAND IN FRONT AND SAY HEAT/WATER WILL PICK UP THE FACT THAT THE WATER IS NOT PROPERLY REFRESHED..

THAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT HAPPENING- THAT HAS GOT TO HAPPEN OR I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN DO THAT RESPONSIBELY

OR

LET ME REPHRASE THAT --- SERVICE DOG PROJECT IS NOT GOING TO PAY SOMEONE WHO CAN NOT FOLLOW THAT INSTRUCTION. IT IS TOO DANGEROUS--

ULTIMATELY I CAN NOT GO ROUND AND CHECK EVERYONE'S WORK-

IF THAT FALLS TO ME- WE ARE OUT OF BUSINESS QUICKLY.

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

NEXT PROBLEM

IT IS POINTLESS TO PUT OUT LOVELY CLEAN FLUFFIES ---IF RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR IS A SLURRY OF LOOSE STOOL THAT ALL 10 PUPS HAVE TO WALK THRU BEFORE THEY GO IN TO THEIR BE IN BED IN THE NUTT HOUSE.

WHO'S FAULT? ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE WHO COMES AND ENJOYS THE PUPS AND NEVER THINKS ..

AND MAYBE MINE FOR NOT HAVING CARDBOARD AND BAGS RIGHT AT THE GATE TO THEIR PEN INSTEAD OF 10 FEET AWAY??

I TOOK A BUCKET AND BAG- AND RAN THRU THE ENTIRE NUTT HILL AND GOT 2 PAILFULLS OF STOOL -- PROBABLY 3 DAYS WORTH-

IT TOOK ME ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO DO THE WHOLE HILL.

IF THERE IS SOME EQUIPMENT PROBLEM OR SYSTEM THAT JUST DOES NOT WORK- THAT IS MY REAL JOB HERE.. NOT WALKING AROUND THE PASTURES PICKING POOP

I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE HERE WITHOUT CARDBOARD AND A BAG IN THEIR BACK POCKET. IT TAKES 5 SECONDS TO BE PREPARED.

AND IF YOU ARE THAT MINDLESS TO ASSUME THERE WILL BE NO SH#T TO PICK- THEN WE REALLY CAN NOT COPE WITH YOU BEING AROUND HERE.

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

NEXT PROBLEM--

WAS REALLY ALL MINE...

I SPENT AN HOUR LOOKING FOR THE APPLICATION OF A PERSON COMING TODAY- BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW OR REMEMBER THAT

CP AFTER THEIR NAME WAS NOT CEREBRAL PALSY BUT CAMERA PERSON..

***********

THAT IS ENOUGH B#TCHING FOR TODAY

 MY POINT BEING- EACH ONE OF THESE PROBLEMS HAS HUGE REPERCUSSIONS- AND TAKES ON LY A FEW MINUTES--- OR SECONDS TO RESOLVE--

BECAUSE OF THAT--- I WILL BE WEARING A STOPWATCH AROUND MY NECK- AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION - WE CAN TIME IT

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

? ALMOST ENOUGH OF TH E BELLYACHING

DO YOUR JOBS BECAUSE TO HAVE ME AROUND CHECKING --- IS A REAL PAIN IN THE NECK.

ONE STATISTIC WE CAN NOT GET AROUND...

THANKS TO MY STOPWATCH-------, TO STAND STILL AND FILL A WATER BUCKET TAKES 25 SECONDS-- JUST THE STANDING STILL PART...

SO IT IS A PERFECT JOB FOR NEW VOUNTEERS--

THE WHOLE PLACE IS NEARLY AN HOUR OF STANDING STILL. ----BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HAVING THEM FILLED ALWAYS FALLS ON THE PERSON ON THE PAYROLL WHO DOES A FINAL CHECK.

 ***********************

TODAY

WE HAVE A CAMERA PERSON COMING--- UNLESS SHE IS AN APPLICANT WHO HAS CEREBRAL PALSY WHICH I DOUBT

AND WE HAVE SOMEONE COMING FROM NY.

PLUS A BUNCH WHO WANDER IN TO PLAY WITH PUPS-- AND I WILL PRESENT THEM WITH BAGS AND CARDBOARDS SO GET READY.

 AND ALL YOU PEOPLE ON THE CAMERAS-- IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WITHOUT CARDBOARD IN THEIR BACK POCKET LET ME KNOW...

AND--- I USUALLY CARRY THE ONES ON WHICH PEOPLE HAVE WRITTEN "THOUGHTS FOR THE SCOOPING"

 

LOVE IT !!!

I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND....

I HAVE NEVER IN MANY YEARS OF PUPPY RAISING, WORMED PUPS AND HAD NOT EVEN ONE STRAND OF VERMICELLI-

YET-- THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IN A MONTH--LOTSA SOUP-- NO WORMS SO FAR A DRS FOSTER/SMITH-- ZERO NADA--- THEN SOMETHING GEORGE GAVE ME-- NOTHING VISABLE--- THEN THE ALL WORMER FROM AUSTRALIA-- THAT DOES EVERYTHING ( NEARLY) AND SO FAR ONLY SOUPY POOS.

 AND I CAN NOT SAY THE PUPS LOOK TERRIFFIC EITHER.. THERE IS A LITTLE OF THE BACKBONE WITH BULDGING BELLY THAT IS SO TYPICAL OF WORMS...

GEORGE ...... I WILL BRING YOU SOME SOUP TODAY???

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

NEXT DISASTER...

THE HAWK HAS MOVED TO THE AREA BY THE HOUSE-- WHERE THE YOUNG PUPS ARE... COUPLE VOLUNTEERS SAID THEY SAW A HUGE BIRD WITH A RED TAIL IN A TREE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE..... ( SOUNDS FAMILIAR)

SO ALL THE PUPS SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE HOUSE--- WITH BECKY (JADES MOM BECKY)-

THAT BEING RIGHT AFTER WORMING ALL 10---- I WAS FRIGHTENED-- BUT SHE STAYED AHEAD OF IT AND THE PLACE IS SPOTLESS.. IT REALLY HELPS HAVING THE FENCING PENS ACROSS TEH PATH SO YOU CAN JUST THROW THEM OUT-- WHICH I JUST DID BEFOR I EVEN HAD COFFEE-- AND TTHEY EMPTIED AND ARE BACK ASLEEP ON THE COUCH..

 BUT...

ALL THAT MEANS IS WE HAVE TO STRING THE NUTT HILL PEN WITH ALL THE RIBBONS ETC--

WE ARE OUT OF THE 1100 FEET OF YELLOW ROPE FROM THE CHICKEN AND V PEN PROJECT ]

BUT GET READY FOR THIS ONE...

IN THE OVERFLOW ROOM, I HAD SAVED THE WHITE TAPE THAT VERIZON USED TO PULL THE CABLE TO THE BARN LAST SEPTEMBER TO HOOK UP THE EXPLORE CAMERAS . THERE HAS TO BE MORE THAN 1200 FEET OF THAT.. I DO NOT KNWO WHAT IT IS MADE OF BUT APPARENTLY IT HAS A REALLY BIG TENSILE STREGNTH NUMBER.

SO WHY WOULD I THROW THAT AWAY??? WHY WOULD THEY???

SO THIS MORNING WE CAN STRING THAT FROM PILLAR TO POST AND HANG RIBBONS- CD DISCS, PIE PLATES, ETC - WE WILL LOOK LIKE A CARNIVAL-- BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE HAWK NEAR THE CHICKENS SINCE WE MADE A MAYPOLE OF THEIR AREA.

BACK TO THAT TAPE STUFF.. THE INDUSTRIAL USE OF STUFF THEN THROWN AWAY IS PERPLEXING.. IT HAS TO BE EXPENSIVE

AND IN THIS CASE... IT COMES OFF A REEL AS THEY PULL IT THRU THE UNDERGROUND PIPE-- THIS MEANS THAT.. BECAUSE NO ONE HAS INVENTED A LITTLE REEL THING TO WIND IT AS IT PULLS IT- THE VERIZON EMPLOYEE PULLS IT INTO A LUMP AND THROWS IT AWAY.-

THAT IS MY MILLION DOALLAR INVENTION OF THE DAY-

THAT STUFF IS EXPENSIVE-- I WAS TOLD YOU CAN TOW A CAR WITH IT.. MAYBE AFTER WE STRING THE PUPPY PEN WE SHOULD CHECK THAT OUT TO BE SURE WE ARE SCIENTIFICALLY CORRECT..

I AM SURE IT AIN'T CHEAP..

YOU CAN ADD THAT TO MY LIST OF THINGS I WOULD TRY AND PATENT IF IT WASN'T SO EXPENSIVE TO DO THAT.

IDENTIFY A NEED AND FILL IT- HAS BEEN MY BUSINESS PLAN- AND HOW I GOT INTO CARRYING COCKROACHES ONTO MOVIE SETS AND SHAMPOOING COWS.. AS ANIMAL EPISODES....THERE WASN'T A LONG LINE OF PEOPLE WHO COULD DO THAT... OR WHO WANTED TO...

*****

I NOTICE SOMEONE IS FOOLING WITH MY REDESIGNED SHOPPING CART-- BY ADDING A CUP HOLDER-- I WOULD ADD A FEW OTHER WIRES AND HAVE IT BE MUCH MORE USEFUL .

****

BARKING DOGS ARE DREADFUL THIS MORNING.-- ONE IN THE BARN AND DAMIEN----- DAMIEN NEEDS A JOB

 ************

BETH LEFT HARRY HERE FOR A WEEK OF WEDDINGS-- HE IS REALLY BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF HER LIFE-- I KNOW THAT BECAUSE SEVERAL CAMERA PEOPLE HAVE SEEN HER IN THE MARKETS ON THE CAPE AND EMAILED ME WHAT A GREAT LOOKING AND BEHAVING DOG HE IS...

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

WE HAVE A NEW VOLUNTEER AROUND.. ACTUALLY HE DOESN'T REALIZE HE IS A VOLUNTEER YET-- BUT I WILL FIND SOMETHING FOR HIM TO DO... HE DID GREATJOB PATTING PUPPIES YESTERDAY- THAT IS A HUGE HELP-- HE DOESN'T REALISE HE IS THE TEMPORRY HAWK DEFLECTOR TIL WE GET THE STRINGS UP.

HIS NAME IS AXEL SO IF ANY OF OUR OTHER VETERANS ARE AROUND.... HE SPEAKS "VETERAN" .

 ***************

ALL OF BENTLEY'S GIRLFRIENDS HAVE GONE HOME-- LYN PICKED UP MERLOW YESTERDAY-- SHE WAS GIVING BENTLEY THE GET LOST MESSAGE.... WITH HER TEETH...

**********

HAPPY TO REPORT MEGAN SPENT AN UNEVENTFUL 3 HOURS AT THE HER WONDERING IF SHE HAD A KIDNEY STONE ONLY TO BE GIVEN A NEW PILL- SHE HAS NO FAITH-- BUT IS MARCHING ONWARD.

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

TODAY

RIBBON STRINGING

PUPPY MINDING

I HAVE A COUGHING DR APT AFTER LUNCH.

AND THE DOOR IS OPEN WITH AOLL 10 PUPS OUTSIDE

( SEE NOTE ABOUT HAWKS)

MAY 2,2013

TODAY---IT IS ABOUT THE OVERFLOW ROOM... MAKE THAT THE ORIGIONAL OVERFLOW ROOM-

IT IS FILLED WITH MANY SEMI-PRECIOUS ITEMS

THEY FALL INTO 3 CATAGORIES

1. IN CONSTANT NEED-- COFFEE -- BATTERIES-.PAPER

2. OCASIONAL NEED -- BUCKET OF GLOVES--WOOD CHIPPER--GALLON JUG OF LITTLE RUBBER BALLS

3. THOSE ITEMS WHO.S NEED IS YET TO BE DETERMINED- COLLECTION OF GLASS JARS, LITTLE BLACK THINGS WHICH ARE USED TO CHARGE BATTERIES MINUS WHATEVER THEY WERE INTENDED TO CHARGE....

AND-- WHAT STARTED THIS IS... WE ARE THE PROUD OWNER OF 5 FOOT 4 INCH STACK OF COFFEE LIDS.

 

I CAN FIND A USE FOR MOST ANYTHING ---

*** PIECES OF ROPE TOO SHORT TO USE - BECOME PRACTICE ROPE FOR PEOPLE LEARNING TO SPLICE--

*** USED VACCINE VIALS-- CLEANED UP BECOME PUPPY BREATH VIALS

BUT I AM STOPPED AT THE 5' OF COFFEE LIDS...

MIND YOU---- I DID NOT THROW THEM OUT YET EITHER...

THERE ARE 2 VARIETIES-- BLACK AND CLEAR.. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

IT BOTHERS ME THAT MY CREATIVITY HAS BEEN SO STIFLED THAT I CAN NOT THINK OF A USE FOR THEM

( REMEMBER THAT TED LECTURE ON CREATIVITY BY KEN ROBINSON) WELL WORTH LISTENING TOO\

GOOGLE TED KEN ROBINSON.. HE IS VERY AMUSING ---... "IMAGING BEING WILLIAM SHAKESPEAR'S 6TH GRADE ENGLISH TEACHER"

 

I DON'T INTEND TO SPEND ALOT OF TIME ON MY COFFEE LIDS BUT THAT THOUGHT WILL NAG ME.

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

 AND AS WE MOVE ONWARD ND UPWARD--

MARIA IS GOING TO REDO HER SCHEDULE TO EXCLUDE PUPPY OVERNIGHTS AND INCLUDE MORE WAKING HOURS--

PLACEMENT OF DOGS HAS GOT TO THE POINT O MY NEEDING A SPREAD SHEET-- THOSE DARN BLACK PUPS THAT ALL LOOK ALIKE...

 *************

APPARENTLY THE TODAY SHOW HAD A BIT ON THE AKC- AND WHAT A POOR JOB THEY ARE DOING... I HAVE SAID THAT FOR YEARS.. ALL THOSE PETS IN STORE WINDOWS ARE RAISED IN AKC REGISTERED PUPPY FARMS IN HORRENDOUS CONDITIONS.

THEY HAVE AN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT- WHICH HAS NO CONNECTIONTO THE ETHICS DEPT.... IN MY OPINION.

THEIR CANINE GOOD CITIZEN PROGRAM IS A GOOD THING.

THEIR DNA TESTING PROGRAM IS A $40 JOKE.-- THEY SAID ALL OWNERS OF STUD DOGS SHOULD BE DNA TESTED-- SO I DID THAT YEARS AGO-- AND THEN I NEEDED TO KNOW THE PATERNITY OF ONE PUP WHEN THE MOTHER HAD 2 COVERS BY DIFFERENT MALES-- I SENT THE PUP'S DNA AWAY --- FOR $40-- AND WHEN I COMPARED IT TO THE 2 MALES-- IT COULD HAVE BEEN EITHER-- STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.-- WHEN I CALLED THEM I FOUND THAT TO PROVE PATERNITY IT WAS ANOTHER $120-- THE $40 TEST PROVED IT WAS A DOG..

 THEY COLLECTED ALOT OF $40 FEES ON THT ONE.

 TH EN I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT 100 BLUE RIBBONS FOR 15 CENTS EACH. AND SKIPPED THE ENTIRE AKC SHOW CHAMPION BIT.

GIVEN ENOUGH TIME AND ENOUGH MONEY AND PAPERWORK, OUR DOGS COULD BE REGISTERED-- THAT DOES NOT MAKE THEM MORE VALUABLE-- THEY ARE ALREADY INVALUABLE

SO I HAVE NOT BOTHERED.

I DO THINK IT IS TIME COMEONE CALLED ONTHE AKC TO PERFORM BETTER.

IT IS LIKE A RELIGION TO SOME.

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

BACK TO TODAY--

IT IS THURSDAY--- I CHECKED MY WONDERFUL WEEK DAY CLOCK ON THE WALL

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

PROJECT IS TO GET SOME MORE LIME TO SPREAD--- PAUL AND I SPREAD 400 POUNDS YESTERDAY-- WE HAVE A FUNNY RIG WHICH GOES IN THE HITCH OF THE DURANGO AND I DRIVE WHILE PAUL DUMPS LIME-- WE NEED TO DO THE POND AREA NEXT

*****

RON DID MARY'S FEET-- HOW DID MY DAUGHTER END UP MARRIED TO ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST EXPERT DONKEY FOOT TRIMMERS? HE USED TO BE WITH THE DONKEYBALL COMPANY OUT OF OHIO. HE CAN TRIM FEET. !!

*****

I AM GOIJNG TO TRY AND GET A COUPLE PIMENTOS IN THE HOUSE MORE OF THE TIME- WE NEED TO BREAK UP THE 10 HOODLUMS.. SO WE WILL SHIFT THEM AROUND... I HAVE A CHECK LIST TO SURE OF EQUAL TIME...

AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT THE CAMERA PROBLEMS

HAVE AT IT..

MAY  1, 2013
THE LUSTY MONTH OF MAY

ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH, THERE ARE ENTIRELY TOO MANY THINGS FOR ME TO REMEMBER

I HAVE TO CLOSE THE CHICKEN WALL -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SELL OUT-- SOI DID THAT- AND I OPENED THE MAY WALL-

NOW I HAVE DONE THIS MANY TIMES NOW-- BUT THIS TIME I CANT GET THE NEW WALL ON OUR WEB... IT IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMAIL MESSAGE-- BUT I WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR HELP TO GET IT ON THE WEB.

PROBABLY IT IS AGE..

IT ALSO COULD BE I HAVE NOT HAD ENOUGH COFFEE YET

WHATEVER...

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

THE EXCITEMENT OF THE NIGHT WAS THAT THE POWER FLICKERED JUST ENOUGH TO TURN OFF THE CAMERAS..SO WHEN I GOT UP THE COMMENTS MADE ME PANIC-- ESPECIALLY BONBON (FROM FLORIDA? I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHO THAT IS-) BUT HE/SHE SAID SHE WAS TIRED OF CAMERA PROBLEMS AND WAS GOING TO GO WATCH OWLS HATCH.

NOW THAT IS SERIOUS...

WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THE CAMERA PEOPLE ALONG WITH ALL THE DAILY DOGGIE PEOPLE..

***********

NOW FOR THE REPORT ON BENTLEY'S S#X LIFE-

HE HAS BEEN BREEDING MERLOW FOR THE PAST WEEK... AND IT REALLY I S TIME SHE QUIT SHE SHOULD BE PREGNANT-- BUT I ALWAYS WORRY-

HER CYCLE HAS BEEN LESS THAN REGULAR- AND TO ADD TO THE CONFUSION-- SHE HAS PRODUCED A RED PUDDLE AT THE END OF THE LAST 2 TRYSTS.

BECKY-- THE NURSE --SAID IT SHOULD MAKE NO DIFFERENCE... BUT ANY DIFFERENCE IS WORRISOME

WITH THAT IN MIND.. UP THE DRIVE WAY COMES BOB AND PI-

HISTORY THERE IS I WAS GOING TO KEEP PI FOR BREEDING UNTIL BOB CAME ALONG- HE IS A VET- HE IS ALSO A NATIONALLY KNOWN BLOODHOUND BRFEEDER/TRAINER. WHO NEEDED A BALANCE DOG

SO WE GAVE HIM PI WITHTHE HOPES HE WOULD BREED HER TO A RIDGEBACK WHO LIVED OUT BY HIM -- THE GREATEST DOG I EVER HAD WAS A DANE LOOKING DOG WHO HAD A RIDGE... SO I WANTED TO TRY AND DUPLICATE THAT...

BUT THAT PROJECT FELL THRU AND PI WAS IN HEAT- HE WANTED TO BREED TO BENTLEY-

NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND-- BUT.... I HAVE TO GO WITH FATE ON SOME OF THESE THINGS... - SO THE DEAL NOW IS -- IF PREGNANT- PI WILL WHELP HERE AND WE GET HALF THE LITTER FOR SERVICE DOG PROJECT.

THE REST OF THT STORY IS THAT BOB'S FRIEND MIKE IS TRYING TO START UP A DANE SERVICE DOG PROGRAM.."WALK" WHICH IS MUCH NEEDED... BUT THEY HAVE NOT DONE THEIR PAPERWORK WITH ADI YET...
