The Salad Days

The kids tend to see Clifford every so often on PBS. They don't see it a whole lot, because they, in general, don't watch a ton of TV. I like the Veggie Tales and Thomas, but there is an obstacle for me with Clifford. I tried to find a picture of his dog dish for this entry, but was unsuccessful.

Since I cleaned up after a dog for my first 10 years, the concept of an enormous dog eating that much food only leads me to one conclusion...and we know what that is.

So I'll endure the Clifford at times. But the reason I have to endure is that I cannot look at that huge dog and not think of the bitter reality of the gigantic land mines in the yard.
