Dad says it’s almost time for all the kids to go back to school.  I like watching the school bus drive by in the mornings and afternoons – sometimes if Scout and I are out walking Mom when they ride by, the kids wave and yell at us from the windows.

Mom says that when the kids were little, they liked riding the bus. They got to be the last ones off in afternoons, so they got to help let all the windows up.

Dad says you can learn lots of things in school: how to be a hard worker; how to treat other people; how to play fair; and he says you can even learn stuff like math and spelling and reading if you try.

I don’t think I’d like to go to school with all those kids- that’s an awful lot of noise. But I’m glad Mom and Dad teach Scout and I things. We know how to sit down, sit up, lie down, high five and shake. Scout also knows how to load up in the truck- I’d rather not ride, so I don’t do that.

Mom says it’s good for our brains to learn stuff- that the more things we learn, the better dog (or person) we are.

I hope you’re learning new stuff too! Just remember to be careful and watch for kids getting on the bus!
