A recent vet visit for the dogs, was an interesting one to say the least! We are rushing around trying to make sure that they all have their shots so that they can be boarded while we are away. I took this pic while waiting for the vet to come in to check them out! It was so funny that they both jumped on the bench and tried to sit as close to me as possible. Since the boys were at home, of course, doing their lessons! When I went back home I told the boys about the visit and turned it into a fun play on words. We are trying to do Scrabble with the boys as a way to get their spelling skills up and lately I have been doing
homophones or words that sound-alike as a easy way for them to think of different words. We have used the words like, to-too- two , read - red, sent- cent- scent, stationary-stationery, etc. But after this visit, I came home and when it was time to think of as many words as possible to spell, I started with vet and tried to think of words that had the same ending sound (we came up with pet, net,set, etc). I started naming everything else I could think of that I saw at the vet's office. You know, like floor, table, pill, shot, etc: it made for a interesting play on words!
For your information, the doggies were all good with their health even though we found out that Tuffy (Scotty) is a little over weight. I can't use the word "fatty" cuz it makes Alex mad, even though he does have little pork chop legs, LOL. So on a diet and exercise he goes, right now Alex is taking both dogs for a walk to work off the breakfast;) All and all everything is good to go for the trip, I am sure that Tuffy will be very vocal when we drop him off because he doesn't like going to be boarded but our little Dino isn't nice to people coming in the house so having someone watch them here isn't an option!
