A Growing Managerie
Did I just write on this blog that I'm ridiculously pleased that the number of animals on this farm is growing--most recently by dozens of hogs? Make that dogs. Not dozens, however.
Tuesday evening Shane and Dorcas dropped off Brandi and Lexi on their way out of the area, headed for Virginia. The Corgis have been greeting us with bright eyes and wiggling bobbed tails ever since, whenever we're outside.
Just now tiny Toto arrived inside her indoor cage, along with Lowell's family's parakeet. Toto is Marvin and Lois's family's tiny Yorkie dog. The Masts are in Tennessee, so the dog was living at Lowell's house temporarily. When they got a sudden opportunity to go to Labette Co. to see Ronald and Brenda's family, they asked if we could keep their pets.
Hiromi worries that Lexi and Brandi will suffer from feelings of deprivation if they aren't allowed indoors while Toto is. Maybe that's what the barking on the porch and the whining in the living room is all about right now.

At least nine out of 23 students were gone from school by the end of the day yesterday. I can't imagine how much drama there might have been at school if everyone had been as drama-prone as some of the remaining students were. This resulted in some fairly dramatic teacher behavior too. I began one brief speech with "I'm getting disgusted. . . " Everything immediately got very quiet in the room. A Thanksgiving break should be good for us all, especially if everyone returns to school with a thankful heart.
