? help?   Now I really have a problem.. what would you do if you got a note from your kid’s day care center which said  “ we had a dog in here who thought. Your kids armpits smelled funny” ?

Personally , I would take my  kid to the appropriate testing facility and investigate—but there are those who would write back “why did you have somewild dog near my kids armpits... he was so traumatized that he will now  only sit in the corner and eat chocolate lolly pops.  You will hear from my lawyer.”” .

The rest of the story is that we went to an adult care center yesterday which was a situation where you go in the back door and wait for the elevator which is very slow----  so sizzle stood very still with her  nose inches from the door because she knew that this situation would be that all these people would cram in this little box which would then shake a little and when the door opened you'd be somewhere else ----perfectly normal for her..  but lacky. figured it was time to say good morning to everybody and he could do that because I had taken off his collar and leash for two reasons one there was no other animal in the building and two it was a building where the residents might be inclined to grab a hold of his collar which could be a very bad thing---- so he was just relaxing with the crowd.. but he  came to one secretary and all of a sudden he was fascinated with her armpits---   well we've done this before--  and I think we are getting a line on it--- she seemed to be a very nice person so I very quickly asked  "are you diabetic?"... she said yes and at the moment her numbers were out of control because she hadn't taken her pills or whatever but her magic number was 247...

In this quest for trying to figure out what on earth he's trying to tell us, that 247 which I am told is high... two of the other people were “recently diagnosed”  by the medical profession....... which might have meant that they were still slightly out of control as medications get adjusted..  so... our numbers are now 6... but that is since we started noticing...( out of last year’s 4800 people we saw...) --- if diabetic.... why are there not more?   we were not noticing his behavior  until eliz got diagnosed 2 months ago... and does he only id ones who’s blood sugar is “ wrong”?—still a lot of questions—however....

My real problem is that ... One of the children in that kids daycare  in danvers...with a sample of about 100 kids,  he identified 1...  now if I am seeing people with diabetes being identified by him what obligation do I have to the parents to let them know about my armpit sniffing dog?

 

and how on earth do you write the letter home to the parents? so that could be today's assignment ------my approach of “just the facts” is not going to be the socially acceptable path I'm sure.. 

 

well ---this story is so bizarre that I  could not make it up.  I have not yet spoken to the manager of the daycare center but I will make a point of going there in the next few days..  I don't even know the name of the child involved... they would have to bring all those kids back in the room again and see if he does the same thing.. I have a feeling he's quite accurate.. 

 

I also hope that early in the stage what I'm sure he was doing  a year ago I didn't scold him...  which I'm almost certain I would have---- but will not anymore

 to add to  the story... Elizabeth now tells me that about eight months ago during mail call he kept flipping her arm up in the air by getting his nose under her elbow ----I probably thought that was very annoying and told him to stop..  boy would I love to find that video ----for any of you people who can find  all sorts of things that would be very interesting.  She said it was during mail call.

 

Have at it.... and write that sample letter...dear parent....
