I Must Blog! 2

The husband of the teacher whom I referenced in the last post has been taken by a deer hunting fever. She said that he has been hunting all weekend and most nights after he gets home from school. (He's a teacher, as well.) A few nights ago, she said he started making sounds like he wanted to shout, but he was asleep and he wasn't opening his mouth. She was so startled that she didn't sleep the rest of the night. Turned out he had had a dream about a dead girl coming back to life or some such nightmare.

Well, the saga continued last night, but not with the dead girl.

Sharon was in that stage of being somewhat coherent last night--coherent enough that she at least remembered turning over. When she turned over, her husband who was sound asleep reached over to her, pat her on the hip, and said, as plain as day, "Good dog, Romeo. Good dog." After pondering for a while exactly why that came out so plainly when screams wouldn't (she was rather insulted, I'm sure), she went back to sleep. When she got him up this morning (by calling him "Trixie," no less--their dog is Romeo and their cat is Trixie), she asked what was up with that little episode. He thought a second and decided that, yes, he remembered something about it; however, in his dream, he was trying to show some friends of theirs that Romeo could roll over on demand. He did in his dream, so he was patting him on the head (he thought) saying, "Good dog, Romeo. Good dog."

Sharon conceded that she did indeed turn over. She still claims no resemblance to the dog.

That's hilarious! It reminds me of a trip through the drive thru at McDonald's a few years ago. I was wearing a silver and white rabbit coat...with very long fibers. The drive thru window opened, the girl handed out our order, and (from her vantage point) all she could see of the passenger side, was my arm...crooked against my lap. "What a beautiful dog!" she exclaimed. Marvin looked over and replied, "That's not a dog...it's my wife..." He very nearly had to eat his burger with no teeth!
