We are dog-sitters! The kids and I (and Tess) have taken in our friends' pooch, Bailey, for a week. I knew the kids would enjoy it but I had no idea just how much they would love caring for, feeding, walking, playing fetch, and just LOOKING at Bailey. It has been absolutely hilarious.
C is convinced several times a day that Bailey is sad (even though she is just laying there, perfectly content, watching the kids play) and he is always trying to cheer her up. He's gone tearing across the house with her bowl full of water convinced that she was sad due to thirst. He's tried to feed her extra servings of dog food (which I have stopped). He's gone and taken a stuffed wombat and danced it all over her head and back. They play fetch in the driveway at least twice a day. But what really seems to work is a song and a "back rub."

Dogs like dog food
Dogs like water
Dogs like everything them like
Dogs like naps
Sometimes them need to take walks
Dogs like everything them like
Sometimes them be sad
Sometimes them not be sad
Dogs like everything them like
The end
Today I started saying that Bailey looked sad, just so I could hear C sing it again! :)
