As we were driving home today, the girls noticed there were a lot of dogs running around the neighborhoods. There was one on Sarah's side, so she asked me what his name was. I told her I didn't know, but he looked like an Akita to me.
Seizing the learning moment, I asked them if they knew that dogs had other names called breeds. They didn't so I went in to explaining that on "101 Dalmations", Pongo was the daddy's name, but his breed was Dalmation.
This started them asking what kind of dog Grandma's Riley was; I answered that he's an Australian Shepherd. Sarah said, "Yeah, Riley is a play dog, not a work dog."
Then they wanted to know what kind of dog Grammy's Oscar was; I answered that he's a Pekingese. To that Holly answered, "Yeah, Oscar is a fancy dog."
These kids crack me up sometimes.....
