We have some wonderful neighbors and one of them has a granddaughter I'll call Susie.
Susie knows that she can come to our house and stay for a while. We have all the phone numbers to get in touch with her family.
Now, Buddy the Lhasa knows the time Susie's bus comes and he knows it came early today! That was okay because she had somewhere to go. Susie came in, had a cookie and played with Buddy. Then she recited two arithmetic multiplication tables and looked at the pages I have so far cropped of the inauguration and played the Willie Nelson teddy bear who sings "On The Road Again".
If we had not been home, the family at the corner would have been.
Shouldn't every child have that safe haven?
