Jan 5, 2011


hey dawg is with us for 10 days-- he us a very sensitive funny dog,,

he would not settle down until i sat with him and read a bedtime story- then went to bed--- and 3am he started talking to me- i let him out- and in and he went staight and sat next to a bag of dog food gay had left for him.

i can not believe gay feeds him at 3am--- so my other thought was he was going to protect his bag of food from gisselle -- our resident rat --who is living under the file cabinet with a stash of milk bones


we have not yet been able to trap giselle and move her elsewhere


hey is here for 10 days-- i forget where gay went but taking him was complicated so we have him.

***********

bernard and manny will be along today

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

MOXIE HAS ARRIVED--- DRIPPING-- SO START CONTING... THESE COULD BE THE PUPS WE NEED FOR THE TOWER OF HOPE GALA IN MAY

******

PI HAS GONE VISITING HILLARY-- WITH HOPES SHE CHARMS HILLARY'S MOTHER AND DOES NOT EAT THE COUCH

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

today's SERIOUS topic is the worshiping of running water

next to heat,--- running water is a primary concern in the farming department and should receive the utmost consideration..


i remember ( here we go) we had a house fire ?1969? and i had 30 horses in the barn-

the barn water came from the house... SO IT WS GONE.... and i spent hours filling 55 gal drums with water from neighbors to bucket to thirsty horses.


and then there was the day of the unexpected dip in temp and i had a 55 gallon block of ice SLIDING AROUND in the back of my small pickup

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

TODAY... HERE... the basic problem-- the%^&(*^&% horses and their water


we and the horse bunch are incapable of using a hose in the winter because it must be totally drained after each use--- by unhooking it--- putting thE END IN THE ARENA ( LOWER THAN THE ALLEY) THEN GO BACK TO THE OTHER END AND RAISE TH E HOSE UP OVER YOUR HEAD WHILE WALKING TOWARD THE ARENA-- THEN BLOW IN THE HOSE TO BE SURE THERE IS NO GURGLE.


THERE IS NO SHORTCUT. BECAUSE......


WHEN IT STAYS ATTACHED TO THE WALL IN THE ALLEY, IT FREEZES AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE FROST FREE VALVE TO DRAIN BACK TO THE FEED ROOM-- SO IT FREEZES AND WATER IS THE ONLY KNOWN SUBSTANCE TO INCREASE IN SIZE AS THE TEMP DROPS. FROM 4 TO 0 CENTEGRADE


IT CAN EASILY SPLIT A $25.00 PIECE OF PLUMBING.. WHICH IT DID.


SO PLAN "B" WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO INSTILL BEFORE -=--IS TO FILL THE TANK IN THE ALLEY- WHICH HAS A COVER AND A HEATER-- THEN BUCKET TO THE STALLS WHICH SHOULD HAVE 2 BUCKETS EACH--- ON THE ALLEY WALL THEY ARE LABELED WATER 1 AND WATER 2 SO YOU CAN AIM OVER THE WALL WITH THE SMALLER DIPPING BUCKETS.. DIPPING BUCKETS NEVER SIT ON THE FLOOR--- AND ARE HUNG AFTER USE.


I USED TOP HAVE COLOR CODED BUCKETS---BUT THEY WENT OUT THE WONDOW AND WE HAVE ENOUGH COSTCO BUCKETS FOR DIPPING--


WE JUST NEED TO FIND ENOUGH STURDY STALL BUCKETS--- EACH STALL NEEDS 2 INCLUDING MARY.


THERE IS NO SHORTCUT-- THIS IS NEW ENGLAND AND WE HAVE ALOT OF HORSE PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW COMERS- WHICH COULD COST ME $25 EVERY TIME THEY WATER THE HORSES.


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


IN THE "IF YOU NEED TO KNOW" DEPARTMENT


you have to know all this--- or you will get wet trying to resolve it..

so back to our barn and our water supply-- it comes from this house in a 5'deep trench-- then raised to the surface into the feed room ( now warmed) thru a "gate val;ve" (fancy faucet which when turned off -- drains the pipe back down to th emain at 5' below)


THERE IS A NORMAL EMERGENCY SHUT OFF BEHIND AND TO THE RIGHT OF THE SINK


IN ADDITION--- THE 10 OUTSIDE FAUCETS HVE BEEN TURNED OFF ( RED LEVER OVER THE SINK) FOR THE WINTER--- WITHTHE FAUCET IN #10 LEFT OPEN


IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG WITH THT GATE VALVE--- THEN WE ARE LOOKING AT AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM NEEDING MASTERSON'S BIG HOLE DIGGERS TO RESOLVE..


SO LEAVE THAT ALONE..


CASE CLOSED

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

some woman called and said if i was janine's mother-- then she had left another horse in our barn at 2am... with all kinds of comments about where it was eventually to go..

she agreed it would live on hay and water-- and she didn't know if the messy coat was "rain rot" or just plain filth from the rescue pens.

and i do not know where janinie even is?????

manny is dealing with boot camp around here---nice dog-- couple kinks to work out ---- he is used to living without puppies crawling over him sniffing away. altho if we really study the actions--- it is the boys he does not want surveying his rump. he is not so fussy about the girls-- like crimson in the coa van.


he had an "accident " in kelly's yesterday megan and i got right on it--- literally--

and they had a mopper-upper person even tho megan and i had it pretty clean...

bless those cardboards...

*********

Just a short note to thank everyone.
Mannie's reaction to you all was absolute pleasure on my part.
Thank you for everything
Bernard

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


sounds like charlie is doing fine-- i have suggested steve keep an exact diary of their wanderings so if ADI comes down on my head for letting him take charlie before 1 year old..... i will have paperwork.

*********

ADI loves paperwork www.adionline.org

before ADI accreditation----- i purchased a 500 page ?ream? pack of papers for the printer every 6 months and trained 4 dogs a year.

now we buy 6 cartons of paper every 2 days and train 6 dogs a year.. this is progress??

what happened to this paperless society

*****


Hey Carlene,

Just touching base with you. Charlie and I are doing fine and I get him out as much as possible. yesterday for seven hours, brought water and food with us while we were out. I am trying to size up my schedule and I have three appt's on Tuesday the tenth.....if it is OK with you and the guest house is available, Can we return after Tuesday?Do you have any questions for me? Charlie is doing good with the cold weather and snow. He loves to play in the snow but once the harness is on he is at work. I am glad to hear that you are having some good things happening rather than the Negative issues (Water). Stay safe and I look forward to working with you and your staff soon.

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

we are trying to split up the supply type chores between the weekly volyunteers..


like----- *** those white pvc pipes that are all over--- should contain the grocery bags which are hanging in the kitchen..

*** the leashes gravitate from the house to the feed room... someone needs to bring them back up the hill

*** the vans-- and the cleaning up thereof... dirt on the floor plus water equals rust so in that case clean is better

*** and business cards--- we do not have that in any kind of system-- they should be in all the vests and "parachutes" including my wallet- the fact that i never have any is stupid..

*** restocking the soda in the guest house refrig.

*** and there is always the ubiquitous laundry

and things like that

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

fyi that godin coal stove i got as a bargain on ebay for $200 - yesterday paul and i loaded up both that and the pot belly one--- and the pot belly one was cold long before the godin even cooled down enough to get it covered with a garbage bag...

new they sell for $1300 and more-- they seem to function well too..


now go do the chicken thing--- and if you already have-- then get one other person to buy one too... it is very critical------and we will be "drawing" this Sunday 3pm



please---
help pay for the dog food
with a chicken poo brick the game is the first sunday of the month at the farmwww.memsaic.com/app/wall.cfm?sid=0FD5CCB2AAE9D7

the yuppy puppy..( gumball machine with dog treats)


we need some volunteers to really concentrate on getting these pups to use it--- or we need to take it away.---.problem is the adults know-- and bentley knows and the rest of the pups stand around waiting for bently to spill some.


doesn;t seem right-- gigi doesn't know either..


we need some attention to that matter.

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

construction wise-- paul and earlene showed yesterday with a heavy duty pupe cutter and we whipped out the frames for the chain link-- and then ran out of pipe-- but with luck today we will get that done.


and the chimney has been fastened to the ceiling--- so we can try a bigger fire today


i have some coal somewhere here--- in a trash can..

need to experiment with that -- and the timeing--

and how long does a big chunk of a log last....? overnight??

this is certainly not a kennel like anyone elses kennel

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


looking forward to jade 's arrival tomorrow

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

So Carlene, you told me that Jim thought he couldn't have another dog but after two weeks he realized life without a dane is just no longer an acceptable lifestyle. I think that might be on your theories to test. The grief transitions into the feeling of not wanting to do it again which transitions into the feeling of having no option but to do it again.

I am flying up tomorrow night and cannot believe I will be alone

. Katie accompanied me on my last 3 dozen flights. A flight attendant can help me on a plane but not like she could. And everyone from the front desk to security to flight attendants knows her by name, the questions are always painful but it reminds me of how many people had their day made just by seeing her. I just appreciate everything everyone at SDP did to get Kate ready for working life, the love that you all gave her and the time you gave me with her. Thank you.



-Jade

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

so now we have to put another together for her

i am always in fear of making some decision which would be detrimental to a "partnership"- but that is no reason not to try and get it right.... again.


per ADI rules anyone who has lost a dog has highest priority in getting another.

plus---- jade will be living about 10 miles away as she will be going to law school in andover...

****

besides with all her experience she is capable of dealing with another dane quirk-- they all have them

for example bobby--- perfect bobby-- continues his absolute fear of bathtubs and sinks--- other than that he is very level headed.

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

speaking of quirks-- i have a bunch of relatives arriving in the area-- from -texas----dc and colorado- organized by daughter gwen-

i don't know if anyone will be staying here-- they are not really into the dog project- but i probably should get the coa van cleaned up.


usually there is a group who want to chase the Myopia "Thanksgiving Hunt" it is a photo op big time...

Janine has ridden that for years --- has organized for a horse for one of my horse type nieces-

it is a spectacular out door event for thanksgiving morning--- - hounds--- and red coats etc...

being a "drag" hunt ( the route it takes is predetermined by someone riding earlier while dragging a very messy towel with a scent on it)

i don't know who told me it was annesette on the drag rag...


at any rate -for those who might want to go--- it probably will start 10:00 the back side of appleton farms the area of Cutter Rd and Highland street--- in ipswich

i will check the time and location with janine- but it is around there somewhere.. and it is possible to chase them as they go thru winthrops -- past turner hill and into bradley state park..


take great care if you have a dog with you--- that is a pack of hounds- a pack is a pack


interesting fyi-- the hounds are kenneled with a bunch of goats who's general actions are like a deer's -- except goats butt dogs--- so early -- as pups--they learn to stay clear of those kind and don't wander off the annesette chasing deer. is the theory

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

Hi, just touching base, I think anyone with a Service Dog can list off some defining moments with Their Dog that deepen the bond or reassure Them of that bond and strengthen Their relationship. I don't know it is hard to put into words. The other day I got a no worries message from Tess, We were in the checkout line of a department store, it was crowded and after so many people ohing and ahing over her and asking about her, plus it was almost time for my next dose of med's I was frazzled, crashing (med's had cut out and I was trying to hold it together and get out of the store). As we inched along in line Tess kept turning facing back and I wanting to get out of there, kept turning her back around. I kept telling her to behave and turn around, then it happened, I bent down a little and whispered Tess....before I could say anything else She raised her head and planted a kiss right on my face! Looking in her eyes I read, (sensed?) Calm down I've got it, I'm handling this. I smiled and said well thank you Tess! The clerk told me my total I paid, Tess swung around tucked in close to me (for extra support?) and We strolled out of the store. To some it doesn't seem like much, but if You have a Service Dog you'll know what I mean. (Magical Moments)


I'd like to thank You again for making it possible for this wonderful Dog to come into My life! Sincerely Al&Tess

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

that is reassuring to hear since we have a very long way to go with this bunch of pups,

every once in a while i look over this tribe and wonder what on earth i have got myself into--- and then one of the partnerships sends an email reminding me.


so on we go/

Nov 21, 2011

the biggest news today is jade is due here .

that is the biggest news unless..... gigi is very restless-- she has had 3 cookies and 2 bowls of food --- been on the deck--- and out front with yellow ----and is standing looking at me...


she is not due til ..Thursday -> Sunday

she is big.. and has a well developed mammaliary system-- i have not measured but for those of you interested in statistics--- i would say they are hanging 4.5 inches

i have not felt any kicking yet--- but she is soooooo thick.

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

Sunday Sandy reports that lindsay is doing well in the therapy department..SS is a nurse and takes her to work occasionally to the delight of the nursing home patients etc....

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

it was a fun Sunday stew-- the visual----

at one point 3 guys were struggling to loosen up an old ambulance gurney with hammers and a blow torch -- while greg 1 was wandering around with a trash can of coal on his shoulders --- greg 2 and a family with 3 kids were chasing pups up and down the hill- and someone else was struggling to get a chunk of hay out of mary's mouth..

(hay should not be pasted together in clumps--- that smacks of mold--- janine take note)

*****

we had 2 new stewers--- a "clicker trainer" from newburyport and a volunteer from gorden college--- both arrived as megan was trying to corral dogs and get them fed.


which brings up----- people should not blather when megan is trying to think.

( blather = an old scottish word for conversations like "blue towels were on sale at Sear's last week" i.e. a piece of information of no use to anyone---- not to be confused with "the barn is on fire" type conversation)-

***

megan does a terriffic job- so let her-- and when she is working she needs to be able to think.--- the last thing she is supposed to do every day is a walk-around- where she stands in front of every dog and verifies water and heat. ...it is her responsibility even when she is not the one feeding....
there are sooo many details-- it is not fair to burden her mind with "blue towels on sale at sears"
tell her all that when she is hanging around drinking soda--
************

re:clicker training --- if you have super timing- it can be a valid training device if you are teaching "tricks" -- i prefer to think we are educating dogs - not teaching tricks. --- also a clicker is one more thing for me to misplace---


i remember...( here we go) thumper-- who would pick up something i dropped-- no problem-

however--- i was giving a demo of how a dane could actually be trained to pick up something and hand it to you.

i dropped it -- he instantly picked it up

somebody said lets see that again

i dropped it again-- he looked at me and very slowly picked it up

the 3rd time i dropped it-- he smiled and said "forget that---- i am not a trick dog"

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

construction report

earlene and i worked on the chain link fences


paul screwed the chimney to the roof and we set 'er roaring.


it gets hot in there-- granted it was 60 degrees outside--- but it must have been 100 inside ( 40 degrees difference?? they can live with that.)

we need some thermometers-- and another little white box that turns a light on when the temp goes below 55 degrees.

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

earlene cleaned the windows of the van--- in prep for the onslaught of my relatives.
they do not live in the world of dane slobber on the windows.....
----- poor them.

poor randys roast beef--

we (4) had lunch there today--- the "pups" were great- but you can not stuff 4 DANEs IN harness under the table... megan got one under-- the rest sprawled in clear view so on one would trip over them..


i try not to go to the same restaurant more than once a month. randy's has open floor space


a critical HOW TO reminder ---- waitresses carrying a tray DO NOT LOOK DOWN-- SO WHEN THE DANE IS IN THE AISLE --- MOVE A CHAIR TO BLOCK THE WAY-- EVEN A HARLEQUIN ON A DARK RUG COULD LOGICALLY CAUSE A SPILL --- IN CASE I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT TO ANY NEW RECIPIENTS..


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

I CAN TRY AND PUT JADES PICTURE HERE--



Pistol is great. I realized there is a correlation between how tight her harness is and how fast she pulls the chair, so that's good. Despite knowing Kate, some folks have been a little apprehensive about such a big dog named after a gun. So I started calling her Bristol and as was the goal, she didn't notice. We are meeting the woman from the other program for lunch today, so I'll let you know how that goes later.
***
Lunch went great. Jen and her husband were very nice and loved Pistol. She was great. She is getting used to laying down for long periods and therefore only got up when two ladies stood over her making kissy noises. Why people do that and then act surprised when the dog responds is beyond me... But anyway, Jen and her husband loved her.


-Jade
**********************
THe jen to whom she refers is from another program and would like to try a dane or two--- i have decided if anyone wants a pup of ours they have to come here and learn the difference between danes and goldens--- otherwise there is a big chance the dog is doomed..
a properly raised dane pup can do balance work with about 2 days training--- now if you want the dane to retrieve your dropped wallet--- that will take 6 months.
thumper taught me that in front of an audience once--- i dropped something and he promptly picked it up and put it in my hand- second drop he hesitated--- the third drop he clearly said-"you idiot.... i am not a trick dog" and would not even look at it.
**********
but for balance work--- they are right there.
**************
opAL AND BENTLY ARE LEARNING THAT TOM'S HAT IS ONE OF MY POSSESSIONS-- AND THEY MAY NOT TOUCH IT EVEN IF IT IS ON THE FLOOR.
ANOTHER TRAINING CONCEPT--- I DON'T KNOW IF I PUT THIS IN THE DD OR NOT.
IF YOU HAVE A SANDWICH ON YOUR LAP AND THE PUP COMES OVER-- YOU MUST NEVER PICK UP THE SANDWICH AND RAISE IT HIGHER AND HIGHER--- THAT IS HOW YOU TEACH A DOG TO STand on his hind legs --- YOU LEAVE IT ON YOUR LAP AND SNAP HIS NOSE IF IT GETS CLOSE WITH A "LEAVE IT" ----- THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT MOM WOULD DO.. SPEAKING DOG LANGUAGE ----THE PUP WILL LEARN THAT HUMANS ARE FOOD AGGRESSIVE--- AND THEY BETTER NOT PUSH THEIR LUCK..
it worked that way in the van yesterday--- which was crowded 4 pups charlie-crimson-xl- and corky-- plus bailey and luna for the ride.
(that was 4 people and 700 pounds of dogs)
we had the leftovers in a bag for the chickens--- and the pups were mauling jacky to get at it-
she threw the bag to me--- AND I Put it on the floor with a "leave it" and they all walked around it and did not dare touch it..
a further concept was i only snapped the nose of 2 of them--- and the rest decided not to try.
****************
next report
george's office party--- and the selection of random prize winners-- which will be done by our method of letting the chickens decide.
megan filmed one "episode" and then george said he had a second prize -- so we(+jacky and karen) did up a second numbered table and set out the chickens
after 100 seconds--- i said "it never takes this long" and with that-- out came the poo on a number--- which shall remain secret until we play the film at george's party.
we have a good concept going--- with a little perfection this could be an even greater concept for SDP....
********************
and steve---- he will learn to be careful about what he puts in an email to me--- i love cut and pasting,-----
sometimes he better put "not for publication"
Dear Carlene and crew,
I want to thank you for all your patience with me and all the help you gave me in just a few days of visiting with you and Charlie. I do miss him dearly already and slept terrible without him last night. I am back to checking over my shoulder and not wanting to go outside. I just can't tell you how much charlie helped my balance and PTSD. I have been looking at his picture every hour. What a goof ball!
I told you on my visit about some things that us younger veterans go thru and what really helps. such as letting the dog alert us to our surroundings, such a huge help for us that still can't handle startling sounds. The other thing that i noticed was when I told charlie to "WoW" he stopped but then I just nudged him to stand in front of me where I gently rubbed his back and he blocked me from any type of crowd or unknown situation. This was so helpful to me and stopped the sweating that I normally went through.

I tell all of this just for your information when you run across other veterans who fight the same battles. The only issue I was having and I believe as I work with him more it will get better is.... He walks faster than I do and keeps me more tense. I don't know what you think about that but is it something Megan could work on , trying to slow his pace down? It would help me with my balance better. If you believe it will be better for me to adjust together with him, of course I will. I am just trying to give you some feed back and I know you will let me know what is best.

I really want to thank you and Megan for all the help you have given me, I, for the first time, feel whole again and it feels great. I look forward to meeting again soon. I assume Megan will be working with Charlie a lot. Is it possible to get Megans email address so I can keep in contact and get regular updates? Thanks. Tell Doctor Tom I said Hello and we will talk soon.

Love Steve

i have to forward this video--- it makes cesar look like a beginner
notice the control the guy has on getting them to one side or the other as they pass other dogs--- and the control in traffic.
this guy knows what he is doing.
there are a lot of details in this video worth watching.
#1 they are getting plenty of exercise
#2 dogs pack behind a leader.

george's party and mark's sh#tting video were a mutual success.


that thersa's restaurant 114 middleton is a good place to eat--well done on all scores--


i was a wreck for fear of a mechanical malfunction of the 2 video'd sh#tings--- but george had his big tv there--- and the discs worked well- everybody laughed appropriately .


at the last minute gwen ( blue dog gwen) went with me-- thank heavens- because after the party we loaded the ladders--- she backed out and started for rt 114--- and the coa van said-- "not bloody likely"-and died...-the engine light had come on.


well in my carreer i have rarely driven a car that did not have the engine light on constantly..., so i tried to drive it... and it said "you either" and quit again.


with luck it limped into a parking spot under a light and there we sat--every few minutes i tried to turn on the key and the temp gauge would shoot for the OVERHEATED and die.--


it was lying-- it had to be--- it had not run long enough to even warm up-so we sat in the cold-- and called home--

earlene sent out the troops (3 men) armed with great intentions - antifreeze and water


now--- so help me--- gwen can swear to this--


the 3 just laid their hands on the van

paul opened the door--- bud leaned against it---greg opened the hood-- i turned the key and it started and ran all the way home without a hiccup-- with greg driving.

i rode in the car---- i had no faith in that "laying on of the hands"


paul thought gwen and i were nuts-- and we did not have a thing to drink !!!

we will never hear the end of that one.

****

Sunday stew apparently functioned well . .... in the guest house. with 7 puppies and a few adults--

***********

noel needs some tender loving training.. she is a bit too vocal in her disapproval of strangers--


i have to respect it only for a split second--- because bailey -yesterday reminded me she has the right to voice an opinion about 1 person in every 934 people that pat her. she does not approve of george-- even when i insisted with a rope--- she had this "don't cross me" look about her-- and was capable of snapping--- with blood.


she gave plenty of warning--- which is one reason everyone has to watch and read what their dog is thinking..

she took a cookie from george--- and he seemed "ah well ---see a treat will work every time" --- but the look on her face was "you don't buy me off for one lousy milk bone" and clanked her long toenails back into the tv room.

**********

today-- Monday

polly/bob day


and i want to go over with megan the one on one puppy handling. time has come for them to realize "they are trying to get me to do something"


very much like patty duke as hellen keller in the movie miracle worker when helen realizes the the movements in her hand mean WATER


these pups are ( read--- should be) ready to learn


as opposed to "how can i teach these humans to feed me a cookie"
