Poor Turkey!

On Wednesday, Allison brought home a turkey outlined on brown construction paper. She was given one week to decorate it any way she liked. She spent quite a bit of time gluing cheerios and grains of white rice on its body and using glitter for its beak, feet and its gobble. We covered the feathered area in bright colorful feathers and set it on the dining room table to dry. Allison was happy to have the project ready to turn in next week.
But Max, our dog, had another idea in mind. She gave true meaning to the phrase, "The dog ate my homework." When we got home from our girl scout event, this is what we found in the dining room.....







That dog has never eaten anything in the 10 years we have had her! Allison was hysterical, but I assured her we can make a new one. I called Matt and Teri and they promised to fax us a new copy of the turkey outline. Thanks guys! Needless to say, Max will be spending the evening outside as we wait for her colorful surprise!
