Long-Dangerous Tails

You guys have such nice yards! Our yard has not been mowed since Oct and the bugs are getting SO bad. Phil e-mailed the landlord, and they’re going to pay us to maintain the yard (and by pay us I mean not raise the rent). That’s nice since now I can move my agility stuff whenever *I* feel like it.

I did take some snaps last night after the rain. If I haven’t told you already, I have an obsession with water drops.

And some tulips on the patio where I work (Dutch school, we ALWAYS have tulips!)

Oh yeah, this is a DOG blog

Hi Julie,

I took the camera out with us this afternoon while Gabe playing frisbee in the ‘big yard’.  He knows the pile of wood is his yard boundary and the frisbee was on the opposite side.  Thus the picture–

A Muslim high school student’s intolerance for a service dog needed by a student teacher with a disability has reportedly prompted the student teacher to abandon the last 10 hours of his scheduled assignment at Technical High School in St. Cloud, Minn.

The St. Cloud Times online said the situation developed with student teacher Tyler Hurd, 23, of Mahtomedi, who hopes to teach special education. He’s a student at St. Cloud State University, and was assigned to Technical High School in the St. Cloud district for his 50 hours of student teaching, and took with him his service dog, Emmitt.

The newspaper said Hurd needs a service dog because of a childhood injury that leaves him with seizures, sometimes happening as often as weekly. The black lab is trained to protect Hurd when he has a seizure.
