[nagdu] My turn to go to school

Wed Jun 5 18:56:59 UTC 2013

I don't get it. Was the dog ill? Did the girl just not care what her dog what the dog was doing? Was the dog eating such weird stuff, a logical person would think "I didn't move Grandma's picture because I never thought the dog would eat *that*"? 
Why the secrecy? I don't need or want to know the girl's name, but am curious about the dog's behavior. The people getting new dogs may find it interesting as well, as it falls into a category of what is and isn't acceptable behavior.

now my goodness, we had a gal in class whose dog got the soap in the bathroom, She was always having something happening to her dog.
I have personal thoughts on that, but will be a nice girl and not notty.

>> solution Comb, brush, and rake One or two towels Optional supplies:
>> Doggy shampoo
>> Rain slicker, Winter jacket
>> Travel bag/back pack for dog supplies, Collapsible/portable water 
>> dish Treats Nail file or drimmel nail grinder

>> Be blessed on your journey with your new guide.
