[nagdu] Doggie Paws

Thu Apr 19 19:44:40 UTC 2012

Landon likes to stick his feet out where they can get stepped on.  He is 
like a deer with his long legs and it is almost impossible to get all four 
of the legs out of the way.  I try my best.

Landon has been stepped on while we were on the bus and he has now learned 
to watch for people boarding the bus and pulling his own feet out of the 
way.  they'll learn fast - it's their feet.

As far as the dog in class, just let your classmates know that you have the 
dog and they need to beware.  Once the classmates know you by sight, they'll 
know that there's a dog on the floor that needs to be watched out for. 
People have eyes and I expect them to use them once I alerted the people to 
the dog's presence.

Lyn and Landon
