So Gross!

I started a new routine of taking the dogs for a walk in the evening. After we get home I go back out for a walk by myself. Yesterday after I got home from my walk, they wanted to go outside to play. No sooner did I let them out and shut the door, did a little bird fly into the door. It didn't stand a chance. The dogs were right there and it took the little guy too long to get back up. Horrifying isn't the word as I watched Sammy literally chew on this bird like a toy. I grabbed the pooper scooper and tried to get it away from her. Finally, when she felt like she had enough, she dropped the mangled carcass on the ground. It was horrible! Sorry to all of you that are wishing you didn't read this, but I have to share the sickness that I have to deal with. And I thought Benny pooping in the middle of the road like a horse was bad.

Well, on a brighter note, I've subbed the last two days down at Hope, where I did my student teaching. It felt so good to be back with the kids and have them run up and hug me. I know the school, I know the routines. It was good. They've got a policy not to use the same sub too many times, to rotate it through so it's fair, even when requested by the teacher. However the principal came down and told me that she liked me down there and it's good for the kids in that setting to have some consistency. So hopefully I'll get to sub whenever I'm requested. I must say though, that my wheels were already spinning this morning while I was getting ready on things to do with them. I thought, wait, I'm a sub, I don't make plans or anything else. It's much different than student teaching. Now I'm getting paid and I'm doing less work. I come in and just do what the teacher has planned.
