Dog Reasoning

Puck and I were home by ourselves the other night watching "Dog Whisperer" and there was a clip of a Golden Retriever catching a thrown tennis ball. We had been playing a rousing came of "catch Snoopy" with one of his favorite stuffed toys. When he saw the clip he promptly dropped Snoopy and went right over to the laundry room and stared at his tennis ball, which was in the throwing stick stuck up on the coat rack, and started whining. So not only is he aware of what is on the TV screen, but he makes the connection between the image and what goes on in his life. Cool, huh? We're going to try to get him into some AP classes next semester.
Elaine has been working 13 hour shifts the last three days. St Lukes is seriously understaffed and some people think that just because they are critically ill and can't breathe they have to go to the hospital. Pretty inconsiderate, if you ask me.
Kevin goes to SEER school tomorrow. That's where they drop 'em in the swamp and they have to survive on snakes and bugs for a couple of weeks, then they are "captured" and they spend a week as a POW. They are not allowed to talk about the experience, but most of them loose a bunch of weight. Check out their blog for a picture of an Alabama snow storm.
We heard last week that Darrel and Latassa are having another girl. When they told Emma, she folded her arms and declared that SHE wanted a baby bruver.
