Mrs. Robinson and her dauchshunds

This is a picture of my youngest granddaughter with Stella Belle. If you look closely you can tell that Stella Belle was almost blind. Stella was loved and a big part of our family. Sadly, this summer Stella Belle died due to liver cancer. We were all devastated and are still mourning her death.

I have always had at least one dog. We have always had dachshunds (doxies). My sisters also have doxies. When Stella Belle died, we were without a dog for the first time in my life. Mr. Marty (my husband and boyfriend{<:), Lily (my oldest granddaughter), and I searched and found a new puppy. Ginger Grace came into our lives when she was six weeks old about two weeks ago. She will truly be a special dog. I have type 1 diabetes--which means I have a disability. My doctors have certified Ginger as a Companion dog. She will help me remain calm and help stabilize my blood sugar. Eventually, she will be trained and registered as a "service" dog and hopefully alert me when my blood sugar is too high or too low.

The picture to the right is Ginger Grace with my oldest granddaughter--Lily.

Ginger is allowed to go places where most dogs cannot. In order for her to be able to do that I have to train her to be obedient and calm in public places. I would like to be able to bring her to school on the days when students only have to go to school half a day. That will depend on my boys and girls. Because she is MY companion dog, she will not be allowed to play with students or be let loose to run freely in the classroom.

Depending on how calm my boys and girls can be, I can also let my parrot and chameleon visit. Unlike animals, boys and girls CAN easily control their behavior. They can understand that loud noises, sudden movements, and lunging frighten animals. I hope, hope, hope this class will learn how to appreciate and respect animals.

We will have an assortment of frogs as classroom pets. Students may observe the pets, but will not be allowed to hold them without special permission. Amphibians and reptiles can catch diseases from handling--and unless people wash their hands carefully afterwards, they can get salmonella (a bacteria) from the critter. 

God has created animals that are fascinating to people. They can provide us with knowledge, appreciation, responsibility, and many other benefits. Besides kids, animals are my favorite living creatures. (I'm okay with adults, but they usually take third place--ha, ha.) If you are in my class, you kind of HAVE to love animals and reading. Those are my passions --- and they are contagious. I have never had a student leave my class without developing an appreciation of both.

Feel free to write me on this blog about your feelings for animals.
Mrs. Robinson

I have three horses. I ride my horses a lot. They are named Ruby, Midnight, and Rusty. I feed them pellets. I groom my horses with a special brush.

Dear, Mrs.Robinson this is Caylee Douglas your old student from one year ago and i read this page about your puppy and i'm glad you found another puppy-dog to be your companion and i'm so sorry about your puppy-dog and i wanted to tell you i miss you and i would love to tell you how much i love animals and what are my feelings about them. I like animals very much especially puppies-dogs. I love dogs they make me feel confident when i'm scared, and calm when i'm crazy so really puppies-dogs are my best friend. I love lizards and parrots. Lizards inspire me to paint and draw. Parrots inspire me to run around and be free and let loose. My favorite animal in the sea is dolphins. Dolphins are my favorite animal in the sea because they seem nice and i have met one before. I would really like to swim with a dolphin. I have knee boarded one time with dolphins all surrounding me they were splashing their tails and I saw their fins. My second favorite sea animal is a turtle. Turtles are my second favorite animal because they are so pretty and they are so much fun to watch. Like the snapping turtle we had in your room that someone brought you from the play ground when i was in your classroom, and it ran over your graded papers on your desk. Cats are cute and cuddly, but some are mean and scratch. So I hope you loved my blog. I will blog again another day. See you Mrs.Robinson at school.OH and tell your kids to read everyday and tell them to be nice or i will come talk to them.Oh and p.s. thanks for making me read alot when i was in your class you made me love to read a whole lot more than i loved to read in second grade.and when i grow up or when i'm about 59-70 I will be a librarian. Love you Mrs.Robinson and hope you have a great year this year.

Love
Caylee Douglas
