I just got a banner ad from PETA on trackinfo. What is up with that?

As I sit here and read the FB newsfeed this morning I just noticed a few things with all the greyhound related posts. The first thing, every lost/missing greyhound post that I have seen for the last few days includes the dreaded words “no collar.” The second thing that I have noticed is that every pet dog that I see in a post by racing greyhound owners and trainers have collars on them – and surprisingly enough I don’t see many “lost dogs” posts from them. Coincidence? I think not!

Mindy and Peanut decided that they wanted to taste the champaign…… stuck their tongues into my glass and didn’t expect the bubbles, now they don’t want anymore. Wish I had recorded it. The look I got was priceless. Ranger was smart, he didn’t want any.

Fielding Summer National Session 2012
Just left the Fielding Graduate University’s school of Educational Leadership and Change Summer 2012 session this morning. I can’t even begin to describe what I got out of it. Not only with some answered questions but also with some new questions still to answer.
We had some wonderful discussions on technology, some one education, and some on both technology and education. I am walking away with some thoughts I need to explore with my management team at Porter and Chester Institute, as well as some additional research that needs to be done.
Also I spent a lot of time observing how various students and faculty use their technology. iPads seem to have outnumbered the laptops at this session, but it seems not to be split across all schools. Some of the schools seem to still be heavy users of the paper and pencil for note-taking. Hmmmmm….
The other thing that make me take notice was watching people open up their laptop bag, remove the ipad, then the stand, then the keyboard, and then the stylus. Congratulations, they just built a laptop. Wouldn’t it have been easier just to bring the laptop? Makes me wonder if we are using technology for a purpose or just using technology to be cool. What are your thoughts?

I am so picturing those Greyhounds sitting in their kennel about now, with the trainer who left the TV on and all of his kennel mates are laughing at them and calling them names. I think there will probably be some bullying in the turn-out pen in the morning – “nah,nah,nah you were beat by Mr. Quiggly.” Cute ad, but the Greyhounds should have kicked Quiggly butt!

Just got back from UConn with the Mindy, Peanut, and Ranger. We went on our 2.5 mile walk around the pastures and then I put the muzzles back on and let them off-leash in an empty nicely fenced pasture along the road. Peanut had her jacket on (a little cool for her) and Mindy and Ranger just had their muzzles. They raced each other around the pasture for three laps (fence run), there was a little growling (made me nervous) but once they tired each other out they came right over to me and followed me around as I walked another lap or so for them to cool down. I have three very tired Greyhounds right now.
Ranger just got done panting and is laying on the floor next to me. Mindy and Peanut are starting their post-excercise nap. At least we had no nasty comments about muzzles on dogs this time and no-one called security on me. It was a great run for them. If weather holds we will do this again next weekend as well.
