Yep! We have Fergus for the weekend! Fergus the classroom Dog!
C'mon you must have something similar?
DD has brought home the cuddly classroom dog for the weekend. The dog that every child in her class will, at some point, bring home sometime during their time in reception. The dog that has a book to accompany it that every parent has to write in and tell the class about what a fantastic time "fergus" has had with child over the course of a few days and enclose a photograph. The dog that every parent has to think of loads of stuff that would sound great, in said book, that "Fergus" has done over the past few days (even though after a whole sodding week of being at work and running around trying to cram everything in you want to just sit on your arse and do bog all!). Where every parent has to be like David Bailey (sp?) and take a wonderful snapshot of said dog and said child for teachers, parents and every other blimmin' child yet to take dog home to enjoy! The dog that every snotty nosed, lice ridden, smelly child has slept with throughout the school year has taken into it's cosy little bed over the weekend they have looked after him! (Nice!)
Ahhhhhhhh what fun will we have with Fergus this weekend I wonder??
