Send in the Dogs

Allison, Ruby, David and I got to experience our first circus Sunday. I enjoyed it although I was a bit surprised there was no tightrope walker. I thought there was some kind of circus rule that would force you to have a tightrope walker in order to be a certified circus. Ruby and Allison did not feel anything was missing. They have very different personalities. Ruby retreated into some kind of toddler trance and watched everything with her mouth hanging open and no sound. Allison on the other hand, jumped up and down screaming with glee over the dogs doing tricks. Other people in our section started watching Allison because it was like hearing a teenager meet one of the Beatles in the 1960s. Perhaps she is a "Woo" girl. Towards the end Ruby was clapping along and making hand signs for "more". I guarantee she did not want more clowns. No one wanted more clowns.
