The Dog Ate My Homework

Many people have to wait a long time to use this excuse. Ryan has already had the opportunity in his first year of preschool!! The kids each get an opportunity to take home a traveling bear, Hope, and then they write about the adventures Hope had at their house. We had Hope from a Thursday to the following Tuesday. Our dear dog Miley didn't mess with it....until three minutes until we were to leave for school on Tuesday morning. I had just put Hope and the journal in the special travel bag and went to help the kids with their coats. I turned to pick up the bag and it wasn't there. A little looking and I found the bag. The dear mutt had chewed the corner of the book!!! We had to take it to school still warm and wet from the dog's mouth and tell his teachers that the dog ate my homework!! The teacher's found it funny though and it just became part of Hope's adventures.
