In the aftermath of Puppy Guts' oral surgery, he spent the following day with me. I made him a couple of potfuls of homemade miso soup with pork n stuff and tried my best to take care of him. The following day was a dental visit for two of the little ones. It was the first time we had a drama free dentist visit for them. Guts sat in with one, I sat in with the other, no one got bit, stabbed, slapped, hit, punched, kicked or bludgeoned and no tears were shed. I mean, an absolute first. (The kids aren't too fond of going to the dentist.) Afterwards, we went for a tour of the police department that Guts works at, at which time, we took the opportunity to lock the kids up in a cell. The sound when the cell door closes is something ALL children should hear. It's a pretty finite and spine chilling sound. Certainly very sobering. We snapped a couple of pictures and walked around, met a few of Guts' co-workers, and off we went again. We had a leisurely lunch at a local diner and just made a day of it. It was absolutely delightful.
It's not often we get a day like this because of Guts' rotating schedule and his being a midnight shift cop, but when it does happen, it's simply the best. YAY!
