A note from Naomi...

Hi everyone!
I'm Naomi, who usually just types the blog posts, but doesn't actually write them. Well today I decided to tell you a little funny story about my current experience. So my mom is getting her colon cancer screening tomorrow, so she has been on a no fiber diet for like the past 5 or so days. Starting today she doesn't eat and has to take laxatives to clean out her system. (fun). So I decided she should sleep in today since everyone always says when you fast you sleep in late so you have less time to fast (does that make sense?) So anyways every morning my dog, at about 7:10 (20 or so minutes after she gets up) she runs upstairs to my parents room and wakes up my mom (my dad is already awake). So today she was eager to do the same thing, but I kept pulling her back because she jumps up and scratches at their door until my mom opens it. So I was just sitting there in my hall, petting and scratching my dog telling her about the screening process. No joke, I was there for at least 10 minutes (which is a very long time to spend with a dog). Finally I just HAD to get dressed, so I left my dog standing outside my parent's door staring at me with her ears lifted (like she was confused). I don't honestly know WHY I trusted her, but sure enough she jumped up and slammed so hard against the door my mom just had to open it. I, of course, had to explain to her why I didn't keep the dog away, but she doesn't really like sleeping in or everyone feeling bad for her when she's sick. So she cuddled with the dog for 10 minutes and I just sat in my room, plotting my revenge on the pup....

FYI: I have shortened the story a bit, because there were many attempts the dog took trying to open the door, but the most dramatic and longest one was the one I described.
