Random Thoughts on Monday night

First of all....in response to last Monday's "Who's Senile Now?" post...it's not me and no I didn't let the dog in, my next door neighbor did! Apparently when I was out back in my purple penguin pajamas with my flashlight my dog was rooting around in th bush in front of the house and since the door was open my next door neighbor let the dog in!!!

This morning I was working with my kids (1st graders - 6 and 7 yrs old) on some word study - they all had small dry erase marker boards and markers and had all written "rock". I asked them to make "clock". Many of my kids have a developing awareness of blends and left the "l" out of "clock - that's right, I looked down and about a 1/3 of my class had written "cock" on their marker board. Lucky for me a cock is also a rooster.

My 15 year old dog walker came over yesterday to tell me that she can't stand to see Daisy in pain. I inquired as to how she knew Daisy was in pain - because she moves slow and she bumps into stuff (she is blind, however last I checked blindness did not cause pain - the dog is not really aware of what she's lost in terms of sight) and that reminded her of her dog who died 5 years ago and she was afraid that Daisy was going to die soon. Well, she's 10, so the end of the road is probably fairly close. I told her that I was taking Daisy to the vet today and that if she was too upset about Daisy being old she didn't have to walk her. This afternoon I came home and there was this note:

"Please make shore that later when her nails are cut that they are filed smoothly. She has a tendency to scratch"

WTF? Who made her in charge?

I have no response for this....any thoughts?

Tomorrow night - 9pm EDT - Deadlist Catch season premier!
