[nagdu] Doggie Paws

Lisa, I sit in the same seat every time. However, I'm not sure if he
got the clue or if someone in class told him something because he
hasn't been coming around us lately. Today I put Anise under my desk,
but I hat her facing the front of the desk so that her paws would stay
out of the aisle way. It seemed to work fine. My feet are just a
little crammed, but I don't mind.
