I had a well rounded day starting with some yoga and pilates exercising , went to lunch with a friend then drove out to see Aunt Count. She was just waking and glad to see me . I read her some stuff and then she asked if I could bring in the big Rapp family picture so she could tell me about some of the relatives that lived ever so close to the her dad's farm so I will have more to say about that later if I can find the picture.
Grace called to tell me that the Dr. said that she has shingles. I hope the meds take care of it.
I talked to my daughter Cecily to get permission to copy an essay that she wrote when she was seven or eight. Here it is: Titled MY DOG BITE
I was walking with my girlfriend (no names so to protect the inocent) when she usherd me into the neibor house. I didnt know they even had a dog, but presto before I knew it the dog had jumped up on me and scratched me. I sat down on the couch and the dog, named RASTISS, jumped up and licked me very hard. one of the boys called him away and he went immediately.
Mrs. X as I will call her, called me over to look at my scratches, I didnt think he did anything but scratch me. We soon left and I showed my girlfriend what he did to my back. She was alarmed and said it was bleeding. She took me home and her mother put aniseptic on it. Soon the Mr. came and said it was a mere nip and took me home.
Mother was upset because it broke the skin, but thought it was alright. Later when she was examining it carefully she got worried because it was a hole. Dad was mad because he did not hear about it until 10:00 because we forgot. The next day I had to get a tetanus shot. If the dog was a stray I would half to get 21 rabies shots. But it was a house dog. They half to keep it pened up regardless as a state law, and if it gets sick or dies of rabies within ten days I will at least have 5 rabies shots. I'm sure looking foreword to NO more dog bites. THE END
