Three Ring Circus

Sometimes I feel like I'm the Ringmaster at a Three Ring Circus. "Come one, come all to the Big Top at the Day House!" I have my lion (Hailey) and my trick dog (Hershey). What tricks does Hershey do? Well, let me tell you-she does a mean "PLAY DEAD" trick and she is fabulous at the "Hershey, STAY!" command! I have my clown-Michael and his little person counterpart-Spencer. They are always up to no good and always very entertaining. My Lion jumps right in the middle of the clown antics and always seems to entertain everyone and boy does that Lion jump on her prey when it's feeding time!! Then there's the baby elephant-Madeline. Getting her dressed in the morning is like wrestling a baby elephant to the ground. Unlike Hershey, she has NO IDEA what the STAY command means. I can almost hear her thinking, "SURGERY?? I LAUGH at surgery...What else you got?" Then there's me-the ringmaster, surrounded by all the chaos and trying my darnest to keep order. Very rarely does the ringmaster win because, on any given night, you will usually find the ringmaster, the lion, the clowns and the elephant in a big heap of laughter on the bed. Good thing the trick dog does what SHE'S told!
