Ok... we h ave a perfect comparison of two puppies and why you should really look into what the bloodlines have been bred for.. that doesn't make either one wrong it just makes them extremely typical ----we have noodles who I can practically guarantee you is not the Newfoundland but rather some kind of herding  dog sheepdog sort of thing.. where is ziti is a Dane.

at 4:00 I got up let the two of them out on the deck fed them a good meal.. and then tried to get them to settle down which zi was happy to do crawl in with sizzle and take a nap however noodles was on a tear literally ignore up the yoga mat and ate some of it dragged around all the dishes he could find including a glass heavy duty glass thankfully water dish that I had given ziti. and finally after about two hours I finally had noodles sleeping my feet and ziti was sleeping with sizzle but it took a long time to get there and then Judy arrived.. and noodles was ready to fly again...   somewhere way back at least ten days ago I made the statement the two great Dane pups would be easier to handle then one of noodles whatever he is.

 

I think we've now proven that..  it doesn't change much we still have a job for noodles . but we definitely have the picture of what type home he should graduate into.--he will need a home with a good supply of tennis balls... unless we can find some job which would make use of his peculiar talent of being able to pick up any metal or glass object in his teeth...

 

you gotta go with what you got---  like Elizabeth came in last night and larkey nearly bowled her over trying to sniff her ----clearly identifying the fact that her blood sugar was not where it was supposed to be... he was insistent---because now that I know what he's saying I praise him for doing it whereas 6 months ago it was annoying for him to rush up to someone dry and sniff their armpits so I would scold him. Now I understand what he is saying—and can make use of that knowledge.... plus he is more confident in poking that nose...

 

There is so much going on around here that there is no earthly way I could let you know or try to keep you informed of everything.  somebody want to know why I hadn't gotten in my golf cart to go down and look at the pregnant mommy.. Sounds so simple except my golf cart died and needed recharging.. in a place a couple 100 feet from the nearest electrical outlet.. so I needed to find a couple heavy duty extension cords to be able to get that thing charged up--not a simple task in a place in turmoil with stuff all over the place.

And a quick note on quickpicks--- last week someone questioned a number—which listed me as owner because it was really a quick pick for a person who’s name I don’t know—but who gave me a 100 dollar bill—so I will hand carry her winning monkey fists to her...

 

In the meantime – I better get on the making of those “zipper pulls”.  Between winners and betsy’s shop I need a better supply !!

We are now a 2 puppy project at the moment um noodles is today going to be more respectful of ZITI ---you often heard me say you get what you expect out of a dog and it's time I expected better behavior from him SO he could no longer just hop on her and knock her over

Aside from everything else it is slightly dangerous he's twice her size at the moment--- wait till next week...  I've had two people want information about the any puppies still available from that breeder and I will give it to them probably put it in here nick is getting it for me I have to warn you it is the junkiest place I have ever been and believe me I've been in a lot of junkie places maybe the dog come tumbling out the front door adult pile of stuff that contains like all kinds of valuable things to be have around here everybody's taking a vote that I should not be able to go back to the place because it really looked like fun but in a way in the back I didn't see an ambulance you know there's there are things that there are parts of things that are fun too you know you certainly had them all over the place I don't know either terrible housekeeper or whatever he is he is totally devoted to his bunch of dogs he has three adults and eight puppies..

I really believe the mother there's probably a blue she's certainly not black.... I did not see the father who he said was black I did see the grandfather who was Harlequin but we have bred a black dog to a blue dog would have given them all black puppies which is what they have if that black dog had been a black out of a blue mother I would think he would have had one or two blue puppies I did not see any so my guess is the black is actually a black out of Harlequin which might explain the odd collection of white toes feet chest that they all have at any rate.... this pup can stand on our back feet with the best of them I have seen her extend her back legs to indicate probably no hip dysplasia according to my father   and the pen hip exam..   so we bash onZITI

having two puppies certainly achieves the goal of the physical therapist who hounded me when I first got out of the hospital about getting up and sitting down getting up and sitting down to increase my leg muscles well I certainly have to do that now..... between the puppies and the lasix I'm getting all kinds of exercise.

 

and I am spoon feeding----at the moment correctly you see them sitting in front of me there's no barrier or fence between us they can do as they please but if they sit still they're going to get fed what you can't see over my shoulder his lackeys sitting on the bed waiting for his mouthful too.... so I just ran through 1/4 of a can of purina canned food I think it's labels normal ground or something like that---critical because it sticks to the spoon better don't get the shredded kind you spill too much and the dogs end up getting it off the floor which defeats the purpose of your feeding them in the first place---- gotta stick to the spoon

 hello there's Jodie there's Jody I'm I'm here OK time to take I I'm I'm I'm trying to get out the daily doggy I'll do that and then OK I'll do that and you're coming here OK bye bye that's Judy

Uh there's what I talked about yesterday where conversation in the room gets captured on the daily doggy and instead of wiping it out I'll just leave it there that was the quote call from Judy reminding me to take my pills which I will now go and do.

 

THE LETTERS AND UPDATES FROM GRATEFUL RECIPIENTS ARE THE LEGACY YOU LEAVE BEHIND, AND IT’S AN IMPRESSIVE ONE. IN SPITE OF THE MESS YOU ARE IN NOW, NEVER REGRET THAT DECISION MADE LONG AGO.

Life with two puppies is slightly more exciting than life with one puppy especially with one puppy considerably bigger than the other one I'm constantly breaking up maulings I guess is what you would call them um they do behave very nicely or he does on a leash which gives Ziti some chance to relax but she's no Angel either I've seen her run across the floor and flatten him which she never did back in her own home where  she was very quiet and well behaved/

 however they also have to get used to having their own. food bowl at the new exciting thing---- she shows food aggression already because she was always fed in a group of  8   – conversation with gwen,,,-I don't think I soaked any food for tjem  Do I soak the food and water or goat milk------ I put it in warm water and then put a spoonful of goats milk in it.

 

Very often when I dictate this daily doggy other conversation gets transmitted by mistake sometimes the conversation is pertinent like it was right there and maybe if I just started putting conversation in italics it might add an element of reality to life around here early in the morning.. and you just have to figure out who is which in this case it was Gwenn and I.

 

my big deal today is to deal with the insurance guy on the fallen tree bit.... .... and the paperwork involved.... apparently the insurance bunch want a detailed itemized bill for the tree removal before they will consider increasing the allowance for that.. I have not seen such a bill—and  I would be extremely happy to be out of the loop entirely.. Somewhere along the line I was told not to worry about a bill for things that should be covered by insurance..  but instinctively I knew damn well insurance does not cover 100%.----  but right now there is an unlikely 60% deficiency... and before anyone decides I am all wrong... let me deal with it and get the facts straight.

 

Why did I ever decide to prove I could  make a dane into a service dog?

How can the morning report be complete without a poo report with two puppies to report on doodles and ziti  they had a very interesting night I did have to finally break them up and put them in separate places because noodle is twice her size and trying to be dominant not realizing that given about a week or two she's got to be twice his size -----I think I've determined that he's not going to be a Newfoundland I think he is some kind of herding dog as he tries to herd her..... mixed with his trying to dominate her.   The specific poo report from two puppies is 5 perfect poos end I don't know how many whittles..  at any rate we're very tidy all done on the poo pad   and we are our usual spotless self .

 

those of you who missed yesterday's activities nick and I went to a place in New Hampshire that had a litter of puppies Danes that basically needed homes --- there were eight pups he'd found homes for four of them and I did consider taking more than one puppy but I just didn't see how I could cope with noodles and a really active pup.. so I chose the quietest pup that he had which according to my father... born in 1900..  the quietest one is either the thinker or it's. sick. .   These pups ohh look perfectly healthy and  very much out of control so I took the quietest female and brought it home with me and on the way home nicknamed it ziti  to be in line with our spaghetti theme.

 

We don't have any assignment for the day other than maybe go and have lunch Browns up in Salisbury noted for their seafood.  and lunches  cost $95.. but this is gwen's main splurge with lobster so it certainly is the best way out rather than try and cook them in the guesthouse.

 new board is open—I dunno why I had trouble.... well I do know... I can never remember exactly what the stats were for the old board..... and this is what  things like % sold out are geared from.... you would think....   well don’t bother--- age will get you all too... the ”board “ is created 7 rows at a time.. why? I dunno but that is how and it has worked for years--- and every month I am confused....all it needs is one postit note... do you have any idea how many post it notes are plastered to my computer ?

 

my latest “find” thanks to gwen is—she found  not only the big magnet. But put it together with the gallon of “white pennies” to see if we have any worth $250,000 .. I will. Keep you posted—believe me !!

 

SISSLE HAD A BETTER NIGHT ON THE NEW BED JANINE FOUND THAT SOMEONE WAS NOT. USING..JUDY FOUND A COUPLE RYNMADYL WHICH ARE APPARENTLY PAIN KILLERS – SHE IS POOPING AND EATING FINE.... ( SIZZLE THAT IS-- I DON’T KNOW ABOUT HT E JUDY REPORT ON THAT ONE.)

 

 THE COMBINATION OF NOODLE, THE CHICKEN AND CARL WAS EXCEPTIONALLY SUCCESSFUL AT HUNT REHAB YESTERDAY. AND THE CHICKEN CAME HOME TO PRODUCE A POO TO CHOSE THE WINNER OF LAST MONTHS HENNY PENNY (THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH)

DAILY DISASTER???? Well it's not a disaster but it's certainly something that has to take over our total attention ----yesterday I think it was sizzle jumped off the bed with no rug on the floor and her rear end went spread eagle and she yelped and we very quickly helped her up before I could see exactly what direction her legs had gone into.. at any rate today she is sore she is limping slightly---- she can get around she's using her leg ---it's left hind.. but something hurts..  and at the moment I think probably if we could find some painkiller to give her that would be a good thing..  I don't like to give painkiller until we are pretty sure what the problem is because you let the pain  let the dog explain to you what hurts and I think she's described to us what the problem is but it would it is left hind leg ---now the other problem is I think she stood up all night long without lying down and to complicate that matter this mattress is the new one that Janine got out of the attic of the ICU that upset the SDP .. LAWYER.. For about the 10th time---Can you imagine my giving a higher priority to the dogs comfort than to his opinion... at any rate

poor sizzle stood up all night long and even though I did manage to get her on the bed--- larkey was there at the time and she's very nearly turned right around and jumped off which is great but she'll stand in the middle of the room and look at me and look at the bed and look at me and look at the bed ----More than I can stand so I had to rethink--- it never back to her something like that putting her on the bed with larkey there was not working---- so I threw him out along with noodle and Wanda that's why and then asked her to get in the bed... which were the rope around her neck she did manage to do and very quickly lay down and has gone into a very deep sleep---- she has to be pretty hungry too so I have scrambled egg and a can of dog food ready to feed her when she does wake up but that's gotta be one tired dog.

 

I haven't even gotten showered or dressed yet ----imagine that ---a higher priority for the dogs comfort then a shower...  that idea is gonna go just so far before the shower will take over rest assured..

 

so it's penny penny  DAY..  So I have the numbers board to do somewhere along the line along with Hunts rehab center which is on the schedule to receive the chicken on a funny little wagon good for wedding cakes –The debate is also can we take the chicken and maybe noodle but there is some danger there and noodles trying to chase the chicken in the hunt rehab center...   

 

I expect and I plan to have the numbers board ready for mail call this afternoon at 5:00 and then so hopefully you will see carly's chicken on the henny penny number board at 5:00 PM. clear Carly is chicken She's a very slow poo maker so chances are we will end up opening the mail while waiting for her to produce.. should be inte RESTING.

 

THANKS TO ALL FOR A BOARD WHICH IS NEARLY COMPLETE—I HAVE 132 QUICK PICKS TO ENTER----( QUICK PICKS ARE PEOPLE WHO SENT THE MONEY HERE AND I ENTER THEM...  WHIXH I WILL NOW DO.

 

HANGING IN THERE.....

 may 1,

thanks to nick 1 (elizabeth other half) think i have internet this morning......
and thanks to nick  2 (an ex-toyota person) i am looking forwRD TO AN INTERESTING RIDE FRIDAY morning
it seems 

 


Janine is here somewhere I haven't seen her today or yesterday too much--and Gwen is due here sometime after lunch... it's always fun to watch the two of them get together and bicker over clothing jewelry or whatever.. Gwen's main interest in coming this time is to have a lobster feast..  she offered to cook it here at the house but that place up there in Salisbury has lobster and it's very good that's the place where Gwen and I had lunch for $90.00.

 

Cloud is doing a wonderful job at illustrating our activities for the week...594 for April--- not too bad.... We do seem to be getting bigger and bigger groups and I think one thing is that when we say we'll be there at 10:00 we generally are so if we treat it like a business it soon may become just that and I do think it probably would be bigger then the job of making service dogs..  I have to go along with Mr. Cummings when he took the number of service dogs and the cost of the production of the one dog it just plain not cost effective when you look at we saw 594 and I think I only charged two tanks of gas about $120.00 to Goldie farm.  Even tossing in the equation of the one dog significantly changing the life of one person.

 

I am obviously very proud of George and Bella and all that they have managed to get done George is getting up there in years and he's slowing up a little bit she says... another one I am very proud of and I don't even know the child's name or the dog the little girl who helped me dig the holes... and I decided that maybe we could put a dog together for her..  as she had some undiagnosed malady of falling with no warning..   because about a month ago someone told me that they had seen a little girl in their school who almost fell down except the dog caught her and she just picked up her books and went on to class ---that's my dog--- granted he doesn't get a beer out of the ice box but he is very attentive to that kid and he watches her every movement and he's there when it matters.

Shep, please see attached.  Also I understand that a tractor has been removed from the premises and that Ms. Jacques and Ms. Tilston are currently trespassing in SDP's leased space, the Ice House. I have advised them to call the police but wanted to give you an opportunity to ask them to leave the leased premises before doing so. 

I am on a flexible schedule - so while it suits me to email now, please know that I do not expect a response or action outside of hours that are convenient for you.
