    Next chapter is Harry and Ron heading off to talk to the giant spiders, so we're close to the end.

    Your kid is far better at this kind of guesswork than I was!

    No, she gets it from her mom. If I'm enjoying a mystery, I get caught up in the reading and don't examine the clues too much. I might have a light bulb moment, but not that often.

    Making quality inferences based on clues in the text. That is high level skill for 5th graders.

Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
