THERE IS ALOT OF THIS NOISE PATROL.  I HAVE NEVER SEEN.... THEY MENTIONED A LOG KEPT IN THE PP DEVELOPEMENT... I DON'T THINK I EVER SAW IT.. BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE COM;ARED IT TO LYNNE'S OVERNIGHT/NOISE REPORT. I HAVE HUNDREDS... ACTUALLY 184 KEPT NEATLY IN A FOLDER I CAN NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO MOVE FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO WORK ON... AND ANOTHER BUCH.. JUST "AROUND..  HOW THIS IS HAPPENING AT THE MOMENT. THE NEWS HAD 36 POLICE REPORT S WITH CALLS AND RESPONSES. --- I HAVE DESIGNED OUR SYSTEM TO FUNCTION... DARN IT.... IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO MATCH THOSE POLICE REPORTE WITH. LYNNE'S OVERNIGHT EMAIL ... SINCE SHE LISTS "3:29 DOG IN #4 BARKED TWICE". AND/OR " 1:23 DOG IN 10 SEEMS CONSTAPATED. STRAINING ALONG WITH  1:47 PLANE NOISE-- THEY ARE DETAILED .  IT IS THEN POSSIBLE FOR ME TO GO TO THE OVERNIGHT :SHEET WHICH GETS POKED IN TEH FRONT DOOR WHEN KIM LEAVES AT 5PM-- THISD GIVESW US WHAT DOG IS IN WHAT KENNEL AT 5PM.. SO I CAN LOOK UP WHO WAS CONSTAPATD IN #10. AND PUT THEM ON THE MED SHEET FOR SOME CANNED PUMPKIN. AND IF#4 WAS A KNOWN LOUD BARKER MOVE TO THE DEAGLE HOUSE... WHICH SHOULD SHOW INTEH NEXT OVERNIGHT SHEET... THE NOTE ON THE PUMPKIN SHO;D SHOW IN TEH MESSY HAND WRRITTEN BOOK ON THE COUNTER. WHICH DONNA THEN TRANSCRIBES TO THE DOGS PAPER MEDICAL RECORD IN THEIR FILE. 2021 4 7 I may as well bash on so you people know how this place does function now if that dog in kennel 4 had diarrhea it would be critical to match it up with the name of the dog and then transpose that until what is the daily schedule of training kept out of blackboard in the barn so they know if they're going to take the dog out that may be the market basket or Costco would be a bad choice they're better off practicing stairs outside say in the town Hall afterwhich they grab a poo picker edit scratch some notes about what dog went where with WHOM and what are two words like stairs with a big plus after it .. or stairs with a negative meaning g at he needs more practice on stairs .. these two poo pickers are gathered at the punch in Clock and Donna picks him up and types in the three bits of information the dog the trainer the dates where they went and the words and that gets shuffled on to a yearly file which can be sorted by the day the week the anything so that I can see how many dogs are getting out on a Thursday for the last month or is this dog ready to go because all the comments in the back end have the word perfect next to it and that is pretty much the loop of who does what where when how and why .. personally I think it's pretty efficient because it functions it allows me to collect the information  we all need to run this joint.. even to the point of what trainer is going where for training and kind of compare that to the gas consumption which we have on a bill car by car .. how many dogs other trainers getting out on a daily basis and why did ex trainer only take out three dogs that day when you read the Pooh picker it says they got stuck at the hospital because the dog wouldn't get back in the car for an hour there's all sorts of information you find out which is critical ..not that I look at everything all the time but it's there if I have a question which is what I now have on this noise problem with the neighbors .. for all of you who would like to tiptoe through the scientifique world   if you Google sound and distance you'll get more than you need to know --  but the one that's very easy to understand oh heck what's the name of it now   distance attenuation Calculator   in purple  you can then tiptoe through the decibel levels and there are many very colorful charts that we explained when something is faint ,conversational , or loud – If only the rest of this world would take a few minutes to look at that it might have saved us four  years of trying to figure out if I was a farm if I was not a farm or if it was a farm with dogs or whether I'm just a kettle with donkeys and chickens and emus well I don't have emus anymore I did have emus they should have developed that place when I had the emus and everything else . at one point I had 150 animals here which ones that I was using her had been used  for commercials movies whatever .. I always figured if I used an animal in a commercial I owed it something so generally I kept it or gave it away or something the only one I did not keep was the box of cockroaches that we used for the movie the next karate kid ...the movie called for cockroaches and a praying mantis now that's a good  story .. the cockroaches were easily found by my son in law in some restaurant in Gloucester ---I had a shoebox of them ..and I had a few corsage boxes with the great monstrous cockroaches that people seem to keep as pets ----I've forgotten the exact name but there were inch long type--- it was the praying mantis that gave me the problem because it was the time of year when Massachusetts didn't have praying mantasis.  Africa did it was in the other hemisphere  I don't know we were just all wrong and I ended up calling people at University of Massachusetts the bug Department and with great effort we found a bug Department in Africa somewhere who had praying mantises and would ship me one in some flight that came from there to Boston on a Wednesday I remember that part so----  I had one pragmatics for this movie and they wanted several shots of it in a hay field in in grotten yes it was grotten ...so I then went to ***** sporting goods and bought about 10 fishing Nets with a fairly tight weave we're picking up little fish is and I gave one of those to everybody I'm not sad in that hay field and I was absolutely terrified that we would lose that praying mantis because they always want to do 47 takes of the same shot and that was the only pragmata's I had ..the shot with the cockroach was a lot simpler that was done at cranes beach cranes Castle it was a low table supposed to be a monks living quarters where they wanted the cockroach to run up the center of the table I don't know where I got this idea but I took some lemon juice and just wiped down the center of the table and the cockroach ran up to that lemon juice and then turned left and rent right up the center of the table just as nice as could be -----and everybody thought I was a genius but I really did not have a  clue what I was doing but it worked----- that was done with the big cockroaches which I then put back in the corsage box and returned to their owners--- but the shoebox full of cockroaches I was afraid to even put him in my car again so I put them in the middle of the parking lot and set fire to them  but anything else that I had whether it was a random mouse or anything else got turned loose in the forest or wherever but that's one reason I ended up with so many animals here -----I had I had pigeons and rabbits and I had all kinds of stuff including emus at one point ---I don't like those  .so much for the day I'll go back to work now .

where are these stored???? we have hundreds and every. one is PERFECT. ....HELP......

 

april 6 2021

 welllllll......... i must admit i was pleased with 2 of the board.. who seemed open minded and willing to think, 

even if the rest were stuck on bowel movements. and totally missed the part of sdp where the dogs are

given the choice to choose -----"we do not use our muscles to control our dogs".

 totally lost.. grab them and stick them in a crate like all the other kennels in town do.

when someone finally said "do you have any intention of changing what you do?"

  i had to say  "if it benefits our dogs or training , i would love it.... otherwise... no." 

if you move  to ipswich and find out the commuter train runs at 5am,

 do you have the right to ask everyone to walk  to boston so you can sleep late?

thank you all from joining the meeting ... or trying to ..

 don ( our lawyer) thought there was a bigger zoom than 300.

----

result? i did not hear one member address the problem of sound and distance

and they clearly said at the start no discussion of any good deeds...

they should have said " we will only discuss  sound and distance'.

 because what happened was i had a lecture on how to raise a junk yard dog.

staci.  ( conn... ?vt?) got a word  or two in before they cut her off... 

and i did hear teh words "new jersey" as someone said "oh shlt"

i dunno... i have a couple calls to make today

i have been the "farm not a farm"  road too long...

------

it has forced me to study a few things....

 namely..... there are days/ nights -- maybe every 6 weeks... where they get barking...

thanks to lynne i was able to match up some  complaint calls to her minute b y minute list of every squeek or bark.. 

2021 4 6

 

And in everyone the donkeys are involved praying not praying braying doesn't sound like much but donkeys are used in herds of sheep to alert shepherds to Wolves and coyotes light in danger their flock .. in the hundreds of nightly reports that I've had from Lynn that's Lynne the donkeys are quiet except one of these nights when they pray and the dogs have a serious barking episode . it seems to me that the donkeys are the key to why these dogs bark because ordinarily the great Danes are lazy and they just sleep as is listed very carefully in all these reports that Lynn has done everything is quiet most of the time you have a single bark here there but that's it and then a night comes along well the donkeys Bray and the barking starts in and the owl squeaks a lot of other things happen including a plane flying over but I think it's the donkeys braying that needs much more investigation I wish there was somebody here to go through all that and really get the statistic down Pat .. because right at the moment I've had my fill in statistics ..

 

I've been so busy with this but I haven't had  time for any out of box experiences

stay tuned and thank you for all your kind words and support

heck... "if it ain't ants, it's fleas" ....  always something.

2021 4 5

And right now it's ants. on my desk.  ...I don't want to be a pessimist but the seasons of New England go from Blizzard to.  mud   to  bugs  to falling leaves... .. How's that for negativity on a Monday morning ..  So in an effort to pick it up a bit I'd like to start a discussion on using  chickens  as in training dogs with chickens..... I've had this discussion before about raising chickens and how when you started with baby chickens two days old it's a pain in the neck try to keep them warm and things ..but what happens right now as of yesterday is----- an  awful lot of places offered baby chickens then people brought them home for their children to look at and do nothing else which is disgraceful .. but there are some that will survive to be full size  pet chickens without a real home -----it was one thing when they were 4 inches tall and another thing 1/2 of them turned out to be Roosters at about a foot tall and they begin to argue with each other and chased the family around .

 

So people who have farms and there are not too many ---are inclined to find an extra chicken or two in their group ..these will be the chickens that were sold one or two at a time as Easter pets /

now if anybody had any sense most of them live in  a place well there's plenty of room to have at least a hen or two .. and along with educating the children you get eggs far fresher than anything that ever made it to a  supermarket.     (I suppose right here I should put a reminder in it about the weird dates on the end of the egg cartons I forgot what it's called except  January 1 is 001 and it goes to 365 .. or 4 .)

not only would you get aand egg or two ,  but since our chickens escaped the fence and wandered around the whole place I have not picked a tick of f  me  or the dogs since they been out----------- and I must admit those crazy Guinea hens which I find delightful marching around the place pretty much together taking a vote on what they're going to do next,    I don't think there's a tick on the property if you could put up with the noise but I don't find that bad being  nearly deaf I don't find any noise particularly bad .. I have made a study of Guinea hen noise and other things .by carrying around the audio meter that was given to me buy audio technologies ----it's great fun ----so we must have at least 30 chickens roaming around occasionally getting chased by dogs but  not if I'm around ---    and in that group there are four Roosters and Janine tells me I'm about to get a fifth one -----why people don't officially set up a little chicken coop and have their children joined the 4H club and give them a purpose in life aside from trying to play by themselves it a paved driveway .

 There we go---I am a huge fan of the 4H  process of trying to teach children responsibility and also where our food comes from there are not only 4H horse clubs  but tomato growing. or chicken groups  ..

but sometimes it's hard to know where to start and I would certainly start with the topsfield fairgrounds office I bet they know everybody .

there used to be a huge rabbit group ..  whose rabbits I would borrow to do commercials and things like the one with Pat paulsen at 100 rabbits ...

 

I  do not think there's anything wrong with the rooster chasing people ?   we had one for years----- nasty thing lived in the door of our barn and demanded total respect from all these kids that were at that age sumwhere  between 5 and 12 years old------ I think a chapter on the nasty rooster in janine's book of dog donkeys and circus performers---   we had a bunch of dogs a bunch of kids ...chickens ...  and everybody ate out of a wash tub full of purina dog food which was  at the door the barn-  mr rooster guarded that tu b. ----- every once in awhile somebody would get bitten ---little hydrogen peroxide in a band aid ---go on with life all those kids are fine and healthy and 50 now .

 

ll this is going into training. I have to be so careful that someone can pull out a sound bite and distort  this discussion

 

The use of a wiffle bat in training most always be done under extremely controlled situations preferably set up ahead of time so the dog gets  himself into a position where there is no doubt he's doing something he is not supposed to and the wiffle bat being very light plastic makes a whale of a noise -- mostly by striking the ground around the chickens but if the dog is so intense on killing those chickens it is perfectly acceptable to make the same noise against his nose if he persists .... in this process you don't say a word because you don't want the dog to think that you were controlling the situation you want him to think the wiffle bat did it or the chickens  --------done correctly this dog will go nowhere is near the chicken crate if you just set the wiffle bat on top of it because the dog will figure that the wiffle bat did it .

 

If you are sensitive about the wiffle bat ------a water bottle with a few pennies in it will do exactly the same thing except you can't really control that as well and who carries around 6 or 8 bottles with pennies in them----- so in a  controled  situation this iis acceptable in my opinion... 

Yesterday as they were collecting the chickens to take over to the arena one of the dogs got loose and was absolutely insanely fascinated with the fact of the chickens we're not happy about being in the crate and squawking ----this in the real world of dog training is called prey drive now.... the two people wah handling the crate tried to push the dog away from the crate  .  “ using your muscles to control the dog”. useless.   ---- there was no way the two people could keep one dog away from  crate ....  ????where's the wiffle bat ?-----the wiffle bat being very light plastic it's very noisy and  usually it is used to hit the floor, chain link,, car fender,,,golf cart.. anything to startle the dog .... \ that dog came in and put his nose right next to the crate I took a swipe at the nose sideways and the dog backed up and thought “oh I did not see that coming, I better pay attention better...”   he might do that one more time,, but dogs do not like being surprised.. He would never have learned a thing by trying to push him back by hand or pulling him back on a leash but if he thinks that getting near that crate is gonna give him a smack on his  nose he  stop and think about it and that's a good thing

 

Same tech as I am trying at the electric gate.. when that bell peeps to signify that the gate is opening piglet AKA Mac has learned to make a beeline for it so my technique is now to get myself a wiffle bat and sit in the car near the gate and when it opens and he comes running I jump around and scream and yell and hit the ground with a bat and him if he comes anywhere near the gate but he's learned maybe he should back up and stay away from it and I I haven't I haven't hit him with it one saves that as a possibility because for him to get out the gate and get on the street he could get killed so he's got to learn and the wiffle bat doesn't hurt anything as long as it's used as a means of explaining something to him .

I then hold the whiffle bt quietly at my sie and join him on th hill with patting... so maybe he thinks getting near that gate makes the whiffle bat go nutty... not my fault,

 

There is a very delicate line between not saying anything and having him think the bat did it and jumping around screaming yelling making noise and hitting the ground with the bat because the result you want is to be able to say the dogs name and have the dog say oh I better pay attention to something

As I said at the beginning the use of that wiffle bat has to be under strictly controlled situations because it has to be instantaneous or it's totally useless .

it's timing---- and-----if you ain't got it don't try it .. 

guess who?

 onfusing...... yesterday i looked up the czech pups -- and i noted a strange color merle in her notes-- now today in looking again .. iit must be a different photo of abrus star... who if you go look... i have said how her dogs look like chaos... he is that... even to the one black leg.----- that was not the photo i sqw before ... somewhere. i see where they have frozen sperm from him....... making me think maybe we would be better trying to use frozen semen... even tho i have never had any success with ai

let me tell you..... :)

21 4 4

 

From my library of sperm stories I think the oldest one would be from the BMW kennel in Long Island.      after Lynn Cashman had given me a Great Dane or two out of the dog pound I decided to buy a nice female dog and maybe raise a litter or so.    but in looking around all the kennels I looked at in New England always bragged about the amount of BMW bloodlines they had in there puppies so I decided I better go and see what does BMW kenel was all about.... it was owned by laura ... Who in her business life both she and her mother we're architects for building buildings in/ around Manhattan ---- they were impressive as were her dogs .. Laura explained that her dogs had a lot of European bloodlines in them because she had a special deal with the pilot out of Kennedy airport who put a vial of sperm in his shirt pocket in frqankfurt.... and then she would impregnate the dogs in the ladies room of the Kennedy airport -----this apparently is a true story .. and then she would ship sperm back to Europe it his pocket going the other way .

artificial insemination is well established .. then.....

 there was the older woman about a mile from here whose way of keeping her arthritis in her hands under control was to have three milking goats which had to be milked twice a day and she gave us the milk twice a day for our puppies -----she was a quilter also needing agile hands---- in showing me her quilts which were gorgeous I noticed a huge stainless steel tank in her bedroom -----about 3 foot by three foo----  when I asked her and she said that's where she kept the frozen sperm to impregnate her goats .. which were also beautiful nubian goats--- she then donated the kids to the heifer project in Africa .. she was a character and did everything very well including give us or goats milk

 so artificial insemination does work for some 

.and then there's us I decided if Laura did it we ought to be able to and I got ahold of Mr tiefenbach in Germany a guy who'd my I'd met who had some lovely blue Danes somewhere along the line I'd acquired a blue female ..and he was to send me the sperm.

 

well the way this goes if you draw the sperm on a Tuesday at a university to verify the donor.....and get it frozen and packaged on a Wednesday shipped Thursday overnight by FedEx and I should have had it Friday or Saturday frozen ..well turned out that Thursday night it arrived in Paris airport in time for everybody to take off for the holiday so that the plane it was supposed to get out at midnight didn't go so it' sat there till Saturday and Sunday when they finally got it on the plane and I had it on Monday ...... 

 well I didn't have it on Monday it landed in the FedEx whatever it is in Memphis------

 now getting a puppy from Europe the puppy lands with paperwork attached you pick up the paperwork you run to the nearest customs with a stamp .. you go back and they give you the dog no big deal---------- why I had to have The US Department of Agriculture person sign in this frozen sperm I do not know ----but even though FedEx main hub for international shipments was Memphis ------the nearest FedEx person was somewhere else about two hours away and they don't really seem to be in any hurry in spite of the fact I was beginning to study liquid nitrogen to see how long it lasted ...because this vial of sperm in straw's was packed in a stainless steel container about 3 foot tall and only about 18 inches around for nine straws so by the time the Department of Agriculture signed in this thing and they got it on the next plane for Boston I didn't get it till Tuesday ...and thankfully it was still frozen

however all of this had been planned to inseminate the female the previous Friday .. and regardless of U.S. Department of agriculture rules Mother Nature cycled the female out of heat or at least probably out of heat certainly it wasn't looking hopeful but I went to see George with my 3 foot tall stainless steel container with the straws and he had he done this before and we knew that females are inclined to conceive toward the end of their heat cycle ---- we pulled out a straw---- shut the lid put a drop under the microscope and they were all swimmers in there .so it was looking good George put the pipet at where he thought the pipet aught to go and ( we waited 30 days for ultrasound which didn't show anything).  But that left me In George's office that day with eight other straws of sperm in a 3 foot tall tank which needed to be rejuvenated somehow with liquid nitrogen .....

not having any idea what I was doing I called my old woman probably younger than I now AM and asked her how she gets her tank filled because....it was so big I they must have come there to fill it in her bedroom  she gave me the name in Amesbury so from George's office I went flying up route 95 with my still cold 8 straws in this stainless steel container and they filled it with absolutely no trouble something like $4.18 .. so now I have eight straws all frozen ready for the female and nobody in heat so I found out they have places that store these things besides in this elderly woman's bedroom ..

unfortunately they were in California but that still is ---to me --- only just as far as the nearest FedEx Office so I kiss my container goodbye and life went on for a couple of years ..$43 per year to store one tank.

then Opal came in heat----- and after talking to George we decided I should take my sperm 2 the New England expert vet in putting sperm in dogs .. contacted him and we started taking blood samples or urine samples or something --- I forget---- to track opal's LH surge ---which would indicate when to put the sperm into Opal -------this involved two trips to Rhode Island with Opal in heat and he surgically implanted our 8 straws .. and we waited and at 30 days tried the ultrasound and there were none .so much for my frozen sperm Department...

the the next story is a result of the fact that we became fascinated with having swimmers (all be it one headed swimmers that were very active etc ) and we have a microscope to that effect for that ..so the next time we were breeding a dog I forget her name ----a funny funny person and RN .. she was in the laundry building supervising the action and managed the catch a drop or two in a syringe when the honeymoon was over so she stuck it in her armpit it came running up the driveway screaming "I got some"  

we  stuck it under the microscope they were all one headed swimmers--- a lot of them.  and we had puppies---- the drop that she gotten was just for. seeing what they look lik

Conclusion? at placing sperm.. dogs are better at it than vets.----I've never had a successful AI and I have not had many or any failures of a natural breeding so why try with this Czechoslovakia dog?  We really could use that bloodline just to stay very diverse and it might be an interesting experiment if we can locate a proper female and to hell with germany and their rabies laws.

so much for the lesson of the day

this email is what started me checking.  and... sir richard has not yet achieved "fatherhood" 

HI, CARLENE! IN CASE IT MATTERS, IN TERMS OF BRINGING IN NEW BLOOD FOR BREEDING:

RE. TODAY'S DD: WITH A NAME LIKE XOXO, THE MOTHER OF CLAUDIA BOHEMICA'S UPCOMING LITTER MUST BE XEDOX'S SISTER, XEDOX BEING SIR RICHARD'S ORIGINAL NAME. SO A GIRL FROM THAT LITTER WILL BE SIR RICHARD'S NIECE.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

 sold out. chicken bricks. .. best phone call i could get-- and love to have it even if it is 2:00 am.  with a new litter due... ???this week??? we need to get focused again/

we are going great guns... hopefully on track for the next litter.. and one after that.  if there is anything i have learned, it is to count on the unexpected...

so i am still on pins and needles. but i did learn alot more about sound yesterday from the guy you all worried about on donkey hill. very interesting...

the laws of physics still hold.  we also learned an awful lot of other facts. the "report" is due monday. or alot of it. he was into gps locations..no guessing.

i am anxious to get back to worrying about puppies and training.  

in addition... that woman in czech who has teh ----CLAUDIA BOHEMICA---- dogs that look like chaos is expecting a litter. verified by ultrasound.. so we will start again with czech and germany and rabies, and size of cargo doors-- or maybe judy's ability to fly to copenhagan and back in 24 hours... we really could use anotehr female or two in our breeding stock.. go google  but please do nto communicate with her... it is tough enough with she and i all tangled in words with very few vowels,

Hello Carlene, 

  thank you for your interest in a puppy from our kennel Claudia Bohemica. Now I inform you that we have a confirmed pregnancy with ultrasound. The puppies will be born on May 15th.  After the birth I will inform you about the details and the father of the puppies. Best Regards Marika

father is a little strange color wise... but depending on his genetic makeup. he could produce 50% merle pups... we like merles. we are pretty tired of black.

that whole problem should entertain you for hours...  and translate some of those breeding ratios...skvmita????? cerna ??? bile znaky???? any help???

then get at the german regs with rabies.. i think the problems is they must be vac for rabies.. which can not happen til 12 weeks...

 but throw in to that, the" unless" clause.. about coming from a rabies free c ountry. which. think czech is ---- lotta reading to do... have at it,

 don't just give me the reference.. boil it down for me.

 we know petair well in frankfurt. perfect flight to boston... lufthanza... 

so that starts..

commercials....

i do not know... and would love to know... why 3 channels are running that adopt a usa child 4 or 5 times an hour... when it just leads to the quick flash of another ad on screen for 1 second... what is going on?? does that ad empty your head and get it ready to accept the flash.. from timeshare to muscle somethign  it is never on long enough for me to "get it"  i hope someone writes to someone and figures it out...... could be they lack the po;itical ad funds and it is some kind of advertising the cheap way?????

and i hope that kid (with the red nose from crying because she lost her boyfriend) gets a penny for every time it is run... she will be wealthy .

nearly ready for paw print progress with bentley and the ink pads..

WHAT GOT ME GOING ???? A COMMERCIALL

2021 4 2

 

A very nice polite lady was on the television saying how wrong it was for people to eat shark fin soup because it was costing the lives of so many sharks and mostly what got used was the Fin---- just cut that right off the top and kill a shark or whatever and she probably with her pleasant matter may have saved one shark ..  that started me thinking if we start the rumor around that it was the FIN of a shark at the  market in    WOOWOO CHINA. That caused the COV pandemic we could save the lives of millions of sharks ..

 

I’M not terribly fond of sharks .. so how about there is a gland in the nose of an elephant which means that the process of sawing or sanding an elephant Tusk  THE MICROSCOPIC DUST causes erectile dysfunction  IN HUMANS ------you would stop 99.9% of the men in the world from even touching an elephant Tusk AND SAVE ELEPHANTS.

 

so by all means let's start those rumors around ..  SOUND LUDICROUS??   LOOK AROUND YOU – AT THE THINGS WE ACCEPT AND BELIEVE WITHOUT QUESTION... AND LACKING A REALLY GOOD PRACTICAL EDUCATION.. WE DON’T QUESTION  .Damn it . every time that happens to me----- which is about every 17 minutes----it makes me furious that I didn't think of that before------- because I was too busy worrying about something else . well time has come to put all sorts of misinformation to good use ..good charitable use ----there's plenty already dealing with financially profitable misinformation-- I'll stick to CHARITABLE  USE. ..

 

No one seems to care anymore whether something is true or not as long as it serves some purpose ---  this is a national disgrace the things they market on TV without the slightest adherence to truth is awful .. if all those things actually cured pulled muscles and arthritis and stuff like that then why are we all hobbling around .??? 

I KNOW-- THE PROBLEM IS ICE CREAM.

 

.case closed

So now Benny is back looking fine acting wonderfully I have absolutely no complaint about the mass veternary hospital--- which is very unusual for me--- I usually complain about  everything-----    I mean his care was fantastic and things like that and we willingly paid the bill -- thanks to all of you people and the chicken break  

however ........... Having made so many errors in my life ---I have been a student of how THOSE errors are made for years   so when I got the bill from the MASS vet hospital I I couldn't help just glancing through it .. and I may be absolutely dead wrong ----  and I apologize for that---- but we were billed for placing A SECOND  catheter in Bentley there during surgery...... twice???    .. I'm not sure about the anatomy of a dog but it just seemed to me but getting a second catheter in where I was familiar with putting the first one --- I wondered if maybe the second one was going to be difficult.....   so I put a little star next to that charge and READ ON... and the reason I kept going is because WE  STARTED THE ppaperwork.   to cure his problem with his masculine appendages and the ultrasound discovered the same lump that Scarlett had so I said    fine to the second surgery  take that out ----that's OK which they preceded to do .. AND A SUPER FINE JOB THEY DID.

 

 but in the back of my mind I knew damn well that there were things are going to hit the accounting Department which had great potential for error like they're basically with two separate surgeries being done on the one dog and my guess is they had a package bunch of charges that went with the neutering in  ONE package  AND A SECOND “PACKAGE OF CHARGES” THat went with the removal of his spleen....   which may explain why they tried to put two catheters and the same dog the same day a-------they may have a good reason for it ---  I'm not willing to shoot them down ---- but it looked odd and as I went over the rest of the bill it looked odd they charge for absolutely everything sometimes logically more than once....    and somehow it's still $2000 less than the total on OUR BANK STATEMNT  which is AS PAID ------I just I just want the numbers to come out right   OR EVEN CLOSE....So what I intend to do is to write a very apologetic letter and saying that my board of directors has some absolutely impossible account type person who is going to call me on this and see whether they have if I could please explain to them why you put two catheters in the same dog if that was medically necessary ..

JUST TO BE FAIR..... SOMEWHERE MID SURGERY, I KNOW I SAW fancy  BLOODWORK  JUMP TO $1000  and I can not find that  AMT ON THIS FINAL BILL... WHICH IS $2000 LESS THAN WHAT WE  WERE CHARGED on invoices....

-------and at the same time if he had all that methadone----- no wonder  he is happy -----three separate shots involving 2 different quantities all in one surgery ---   is not a complaint but just wondering if a package for the spleen got added to the package for the neutering and there's some duplication in there as far as the accounting Department is concerned – ALTHO IF THEY HAD TO PUT IN 2 CATHETERS MAYBE HE NEEDED IT.;

how they got the ship unstuck.

Today is a big day for Kringle and I.  It is our four year anniversary of her coming home with me from Service Dog Project. I remember the day well with my knees shaking thinking, what have I done as my husband, son, and I pulled away and started the drive home. Little did I know my life would change forever. It was a very dark time in my life: I couldn't walk well, I was depressed, my body hurt, my brain wasn't working, and I had to walk away from a career that I earned many degrees for and enjoyed. But Kringle slowly changed everything for me. She made me stronger each day in my walking, in my confidence, and I found my purpose in life again. But most of all I grew closer to my kids and husband. If someone bothered me about my service dog, it was Brad to the rescue. Who doesn't want a knight in shining armor husband? Right? Pretty sexy. Kringle and I have traveled to about 25 states and 4 countries. Therfore, I have my independence back. She is not only a mobility dog but is part of me. Carlene gave me life when she gave me Kringle. I was so depressed when I got her and she has given a new outlook. With Easter right around the corner, this is is the best time for our anniversary.  Happy Anniversary, Kringle.  I love you with all my heart.
