Pitbull is Champ, a rescue from the street (nerve damaged leg). I thought he was a shepherd. My vet laughed heartily. Other dog is Buddy, an aged & devoted yellow (now whitening) lab. I also have a homebound overly protective rottweiller/shepherd cross named Mai jarvenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709417058741577802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-1144107893000332222006-04-03T19:44:00.000-04:002006-04-03T19:44:00.000-04:00Greetings, ladies three:Lady B.

Somehow I thought that the bookseller would have a hairy dog to leave threads on the squashy bookstore chairs. Our (Mike's, truly) dog is very good at eating books. The first book she ever ate was a brand new Diana Wynne Jones hardcover Marly Youmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377938366750387442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-1144107195803586242006-04-03T19:33:00.000-04:002006-04-03T19:33:00.000-04:00Marly, thanks for the Endicott studio link.

It so reminds me of my students' recent renaming poetry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-1144103949857943792006-04-03T18:39:00.000-04:002006-04-03T18:39:00.000-04:00Good heavens, we do live in a universe of synchron...Good heavens, we do live in a universe of synchronicity. I just had a tattooed, chain wearing, leathered young man come in (my pitbull was delighted) looking for some Flannery O'Connor (yeah, I had some). He was delighted. He said that he'd seen some quotes of hers spraypainted on a Chicago overpass and was dismayed to find his travelling companions had no idea who she was.jarvenpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709417058741577802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539948.post-1144098288021453942006-04-03T17:04:00.000-04:002006-04-03T17:04:00.000-04:00I find this whole thing interesting since it was w...I find this whole thing interesting since it was written several years ago and still seems to apply today. <BR/><BR/>I think the on reading part is iteresting because when I read a book it si a whole experiece for me as well. I do, of course try to get my students to this experience as well. I also have to, however, use excerpts to get at particualr meanings and skills.blog queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17229423128584570391noreply@blogger.com
