Scarred for Life

Reposted from May 20, 2008
Dusty died.

Well, okay, but who is Dusty?

Our neighbors dog. 

but not really.

Knock, knock on Miss Jeanies door.

Miss Jeanie opens door.


It's practically the same as therapy. Right?
 
Oh my gosh, that is priceless. I mean that was just really really funny to read. YOu are back and better than ever my friend!

Great story Trish. Very funny. It's great that you can laugh at yourself. Thanks for sharing.

Sure you can link me. Hope you enjoy the book this summer.

HOLY COW! That was right up there with Heather's tick story. I don't know if you read her or not, but you can get to her from me or Debbie. Mindless Junque.
Yeah, daycare is almost as good as therapy. When he starts yelling out in his sleep, "NO! DON'T BURN DUSTY!!!" then you know you have a problem. Sleep well tonight!!!!

Don't we teach them it's always best to tell the truth? :-)

May 21, 2008 at 7:19 PM 
yes, lee ann, and this time it's not (the) cold and hard (truth), its incinerated and, well, dusty? (technically, ashy)... poor Ron and Sue... how are the boys handling it now?

May 21, 2008 at 10:54 PM 
Huh-larious. RIP Dusty.

Poor poor Dusty. Poor poor you. Sometimes it's just hard to come up with the right way of explaining things to kids...

May 23, 2008 at 4:25 PM 
Oops, Sorry I have not been a good bloggin' friend lately!

May 23, 2008 at 4:26 PM 
LOL! Poor kid, he'll be traumatized for life. LOL! Oh well, I believe it's always best to tell them the truth, even if does require therapy afterwards. Rest in peace Dusty.

Trish - that is the funniest thing ever. Should we all pitch in to help with that Therapy. Don't worry - my 5 year old just witnessed my brother's dog "lumping" our goat - yep, and I am not ready to have a sex talk about that one, but I got a picture and want to post it so much. It may be just too edgy but has brought the most amount of laughter over the last bit.....
blessings in '09.

The truth is always better, and that WAS a very funny story. We live on a farm and animal death is a part of life, lol. They work it out; the kids that is, not the animals, lol. As for Dusty...may he scatter in peace.

It's still funny...all these months later...
