I never thought I would ever have to write this letter to a
teacher but thanks to good ole Hagrid I found myself writing it last night. “Dear
Sam’s Teacher – I am very sorry but our Dog ate Sam’s homework and ate part of
his homework binder”.
Seriously – I can’t make this stuff up. My 8 year old son,
Josh was doing his homework after school. I told him it was time to leave to go
to Sam’s Speech Therapy. Hagrid can’t go with us for Speech because Sam’s
therapist is allergic to dogs. So Josh asked me if he should leave his homework
on the table. I told him sure. He asked what would happen if Hagrid ate his
homework. I told him not to worry about that. I said Hagrid would never eat
your homework and if he did the teacher wouldn’t believe it. So he left his
work on the table and we were on our way.
Hagrid really isn’t ever left home alone. He is either out
with us or we are home with him. But last night was one of the few nights he
was home for about an hour or so alone.
Hagrid is a GREAT doggie but hey with his vest off and
nobody home he can cause a little chaos in the house. We walked in the door and
he was lying in his dog bed. I walked into the kitchen and saw little black
pieces on the floor. I thought to myself – Oh no what is that? I quickly
realized that Hagrid went into the little cabinet where I keep Sam’s homework
journal and his work. The cabinet door was open and there were a few pieces of
torn paper on the ground which was once Sam’s work. I also discovered that
Hagrid ate some of Sam’s homework journal!!
Josh of course saw this and said “I told you Hagrid would
eat our homework!”

Sam's Homework journal |
Hahaha! The puppy I'm raising got into my homework last week. Thankfully I caught him soon enough that I could just re-copy most of it. Never a dull moment! :-)
