sick puppy

While I was babysitting today we played the 'Let's Be Vets' game, for which I was supposed to be the 6 yr old's assistant for any sick plastic animals that came into our clinic.

I was in charge of feeding this particular puppy something from a cylindrical container which read 'dog food' but was (according to Aud) really special medicine to help him get better. It didn't take long into our make-believe game before I was told I wasn't doing it right.

Frankly I wasn't doing anything right for this sick pup because the Vet Boss told me that maybe I should sit back and relax for a few minutes and watch how SHE could take care of them, like wrapping the plastic sick puppy in her baby blanket .

The blanket, incidentally, came to be when one of her Grandmas crochet the hopeful and cozy blanket in which to wrap the wee sub-two-pounder to bring her home after her first two months of life in the NICU.

postscript: sick puppy recovered, no thanks to me. Sick pup's friend, another plastic beagle-looking thing, was not so lucky. I learned that the official way to tell that a plastic dog is dead is to throw it with all the might one can muster - up toward the ceiling. When the plastic dog lands, it's officially dead.

I'm so glad I know this now and I fully expect that there will be countless plastic dog emergencies for which I now have the proper training.

Lessa has it good. Here she is, sitting on my aunt's lap, resting her tired head on the game board.
