Via Elliot's teacher today, a photo of Elliot reading to Sabrina, their classroom's HABIT dog. I am loving E at this age.

That is priceless! What a wonderful school he must go to.

I have to say there is little I find to agree on here but I have to say this is cool. on the other hand our local high school had a big stink because some guidance counselor brought his very small dog to school. the kids loved the dog and it was good for those who came in to chat. apparently some idiot decided to complain and made a big stink about it to the school district. after the dog was removed, they brought it back after many people complained. I suppose if soemone had really bad allergies that perhaps their comfort might mean more than the enjoyment of the dog by others but that wasnt the case. it was just someone who didnt like the idea of the dog and figured they would complain. it sort of reminds me of the fact I took my kid to see Santa last week and santa is no longer handing out edible treats. due to parental complaints and idiocy Santa only hands out small toys these days.

I do wonder though with the dog in the classroom what would happen if a child came in with animal dander allergies? I could see the potential for the other kids who love the dog to feel very hostile to the allergic kid that caused the dog to have to be removed from their classroom.
