Tom

Thanks, Tom. 19 and 21 are yours. I am in process of PL'ing your other sections now.

[tommack]

Great!! I'll do 19 & 21

I've never done any pl but I guess I could learn.

Let me know what to do

Thanks. Just read Prooflistener instructions in the First Post, and review the Wiki links there. I'm not looking for Word Perfect on this project, just Standard LV requirements re Intro, Outro, plus items that stick out to you -- mispronunciations, stumbles, missing words or phrases, etc. Minor errors like "going slowly", vs "slowly going" don't matter, because they don't change the meaning.

Take a stab at it and I'll help you along. I'm a perfect place to start because I welcome crits/comments (that's the CC in my signature).

I listened to section 12 the bloodhound.
I followed along with the text. It's not just OK, it's great. Good job!More to come.

PL Notes 32 Black and Tan Terrier

3:01 Stumble at "It is as a clean, alert house dog...."
3:22 hairs he may leave about, about is missing
10:20 long and tight-skinned, level in the mouth, I hear long and tight . . . . skinned level in the mouth (which makes no sense).
Volume reads 90.9, so while you are making these edits, you could lower Amplification by -1

PL Notes 39 Newfoundland

Volume reads 88.5, within LV range but lower than your other files (32, 38, 45) by -1 to -2 for some reason. Just mentioning that, and since you are making other edits, you could Amplify +1 to more nearly match your other files.
2:46 high and low degree, I hear decree
12:43 Mr. C. H. Mason, I hear Hansen - no listener will notice the wrong name, unless it is one of the Mason family whose great grandpapa owned the revered Mayor of Bingley. Your choice to fix, but as the owner of a champion dog myself, I would.

PL Notes 45 Mexican Hairless

3:20 standing out from the head, I hear Ted.
11:28 this climate is not con-du-cive, I hear con-du-ci-tive,
Checker reads volume at 91.1, and as you are making other edits, you could lower Amplification (excluding Intro and Outro) by -1 or -1.5.

I have a friend with a Chinese Crested, about 10 lbs. Beautiful tan dog, stately carriage with what appear to be flowing white feathers when he prances about. But the skin! The skin! It feels just like babydoll skin, soft and plastic, shiny, and so very warm. Remember the Stretch Armstrong doll? It's a little weird. I can see how they might be used as water bottles.

I trust that this clears up my errors and omissions and I want to thank you for your help.

I have a rat terrier mix, about 9 pounds, a rescue dog.

32, 39 and 45 are PL OK. Those were awesome edits, Tom, and very good recordings. Thanks for your attention to detail. Hope you'll stick around.

Rat terriers are smart little dogs, pretty, and great fun to train . . . interesting to watch at a Barn Hunt or agility trial. I currently have 3 adorable AKC registered Papillons, and have had 2 rescue dogs -- an American Dingo, and a Southern Blackmouth Cur, both now deceased, (neither on the AKC registry of breeds but both magnificent pets who completely stole our hearts, each with its own distinct personality, highly trainable, and smart as the dickens). Rescue dogs are awesome!
