Once I learn a "trick" like the awesome herding sheps I'm good for life. Separate. In third grade our teacher told us a story and the punch line was there was nothing in the basement, "sep a rat with an 'e' for a tail" and I never spelled it wrong again. I realized a couple of years ago that I had been spelling forty wrong for my entire adult life. And I still puzzle over family and across. <BR/>But, I will never get shepherd wrong again! woo-HOOOO!

He LIKED his name, but his owner didn't appreciate it!<BR/><BR/>PS That story was just an excuse for me to say i loooove your writing, but: German SHEPHERD. Shepherd. Because they herd sheps. Pet peeve. You don't have to publish this if you don't want a typo called out publicly. :)Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455188963139197474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-49771559348556382722007-09-25T08:45:00.000-05:002007-09-25T08:45:00.000-05:00I can only imagine the things your neighbors first...I can only imagine the things your neighbors first thought.

Maybe an excerpt from "Mama Pajama Tells a Story?") and Gracious - I never had a dog and these are the only dogs I ever knew at the time. OK, so I am not that big on slobbery dog kisses, but I do try!<BR/><BR/>AND, I love, love, love your love and affection for Sweet William.<BR/><BR/>AmyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081125247702082584noreply@blogger.com
