I laughed when I read this....I teach high school and one of my litters came on a Sunday night in November, and I missed 3 days of school (work) because I will not leave a mom home alone especially since she was a first time mom. I had fellow teachers and students calling me and all worried about me. I just told them that my best friend had a multiple birth and I wanted to be with her, and everyone understood!! (I only told them who my best friend was when I got back to work with the pictures!!!) I am very lucky that my direct supervisor, an Assistant Principle, is a dog lover herself, and she understood completely!! I also hardly ever miss school so that helped also! |
