Health Care

Went to see my kids again.  Mom decided to do a "Taking Care of Your Dog" theme and then relate it to my kids.  It worked great!

First we watched a video of taking care of your pup.  Including making sure they have a warm clean bed to sleep in.  (Heh, heh, my bed looked lots better than the one in the video.  'Cuz my bed is King Size and holds three of us quite comfortably.  At least if Mom moves her feet a bit.)  They also showed giving the pup exercise and feeding him and teaching him tricks.  And brushing him.  (Which I like.)  And bathing him (which I hate).  And last of all, giving him lots of love. 

Then they got to practice on me.  Not bad!  I got water in the collapsible bowl from the ACT kit.  (Good thing, I was getting thirsty.  It's a long hot drive to get to the school.)  Then they all tried to teach me to roll over.  (I wasn't going to make it easy for them, so I didn't do it.  I'll do it for them some other time.  When I think they're ready.)  Then they brushed me.  Oooooh, that felt really good.  And to finish it off, they all showed me how much they loved me!  Sigh.

After that, Mom asked the kids to list all the things that we do to care for a pup.  Then she asked them whether those are the same things that kids need too?  We all agreed, they really do need the same things I do.  Especially the love part. 

I went with them to take them all back to their classes.  Juan was eager to have me come in and meet his class.  (He's a funny one.  He didn't like to do much with me at first, but when he got to be the one to show me to his class -- he changed his tune!  Then I was like his very own puppy!  But I don't mind.  Fact, I kinda liked it.)

I'm pretty pooped now.  Think I'll just take a nap on my mini bed (not my real bed).

Make sure to love all your puppies and kids and kittens and everybody!

Love,  G
