Could I Compete?

Today during morning snack time, I was hearing the strangest noise. It sure sounded like a dog whining, but our neighbor's dog barks, doesn't whine. John kept telling me that it was his sister whining. That's when Chris went to investigate and discovered a tiny chihuahua wearing a rhinestone collar in the van parked in our driveway belonging to the workman here today to strip our wallpaper.

We invited the workman to let his doggie spend the day in our enclosed sun room instead of in the van, which he accepted.

This made the kids Very Excited.

Chris told me not to get any ideas about a new pet!

How could Mama teaching school compete with this quiet little doggie who weighs probably all of two pounds?



Actually, the morning went better than I thought. Instead of mutiny from the gang, we enjoyed a 15-minute visit with the dog before I cheerfully announced that "We'll get to visit the dog again when we've finished our schoolwork!" We finished our work and visited with the dog several times!
