Step right up, folks!

On my way to pilates today I saw a dog with a diaper on. I don't live with dogs or pets of any kind so I don't know why a dog would need a diaper. But it looked very odd.
I visited with a woman from my congregation today who is 103 years old. That's right 103. She didn't really know that it was her birthday, nor did she know who I was. But I was still amazed that she has lived for so long. She continues to live at home, albeit with her son living upstairs. She also has a full time caregiver during the day.
I don't know that I want to live to be 103. But I'm guessing that if I did Willard Scott would still be on the Today Show announcing 100th birthdays. I mean that guy has to be over 100 himself by now. I haven't watched the Today Show in years because I get my news from NPR in the morning, but I'm pretty sure Willard is still on the show.
I think that is it, a 103 year old woman and a dog in a diaper. Doesn't that sound like one of those carival side shows that would show up in dollar store parking lots? You know like the worlds fattest man or the bearded woman.
Alright, until tomorrow.

Peace out!

okay, i think i can help you here. our friends just got a dog, a cute little pomeranian mix, whom they were told was "fixed." but, as it turns out, she was not, which they figured out when she got her doggie period! so they had to put doggie maxi pads on the little bitch (i mean that literally, not in a derogatory manner) which looked a lot like diapers. so maybe that was it...the doggie's aunt flo came for a visit.
