Story of the Day 11/ 28/ 2015- Part 2 of the Thanksgiving story




This is a follow up to yesterday's Story of the Day- the tale of the doggie poop.

Aaron started taking care of Lucy, yesterday, Friday morning.

This afternoon, for lunch, he was invited to eat with a group of people, and one of them was Daniel's roommate.
During the meal, Aaron told Daniel's roommate that the dog had pooped all over the upstairs; and the roommate said, "Oh yeas, Daniel knows about that."

"What?" gasped my son. He couldn't believe that his friend would leave him to take care of a dog to clean up...I mean a house full of dog poop to clean up, but apparently he had.

Aaron also, the next time he was in the house, noticed that there was a long list of instructions on the refrigerator. Now, Daniel had only told Aaron to feed the dog and let it out into the yard, twice a day...but the instructions were rather more lengthy....

And on them were very specific notes on how to give Lucy her anti-anxiety medication in a tablespoon of peanut butter, which was on the counter.
The peanut butter was on the counter.
But there was no medicine.
Except perhaps in the trashcan, because, again, Daniel has now been caring for this dog a couple of weeks longer than originally planned.

So, now Aaron is realizing that he has the care of a rather anxiety ridden , under-medicated pooping machine.

Aaron returned home from lunch and, again, thanked me for not getting him a dog.
