How To Make A Doodle

It hurts him. Watching her stare at the back of some guy’s head. She is deep in thought. He assumes she is spinning some detailed web about the imminent, romantic first date with the back of the guy’s head. He shifts his attention to the doodle he’s been cultivating all of lecture. As he focuses on the sketch of a skull decorating the corner of his notebook, he hears some girls chuckling a few seats down from him. At what, he is not sure. Fucking troglodytes. He feels the weight of the pencil lay in the crook of his hand as he begins to darken the eye sockets of the skull. His pencil is gliding around and around making the depth of the socket stand out. He leaned back in his seat as a look of satisfaction creeps over his face. Now what was

Many things that are used nowadays involve sound like alarm clocks, stoves, doorbells, and phones. Hearing dogs make not being able to hearing things a little bit easier by when there is a sound going off that the deaf person should acknowledge they will get their attention and lead them to the sound. This can not only make things easier on the person that is hard of hearing but can also save a life in certain circumstances like if someone is blowing a car horn at something that you do not see or if you are cooking and forget about it, the dog can alarm you that your meal is

At first, the puppy light-heartedly explains an average day to display his playfulness with “[b]alls and sticks” (Doty 1). By starting the poem as a description of a simple day, Doty exceeds the normal phrasing of a sonnet which surprisingly alters normality to display the truth of a dog’s mindset. The puppy’s thoughts highlight his short attention span when he sees a moving object or “squirrel” (Doty 3). Since the poem begins as a light-hearted portrayal of a day in the life of a dog, the shift to an unsettling conclusion comes as a surprise which illuminates the intellectual capacity for dogs to offer insight to humans. This pup experiences the jubilation when he realizes the squirrel he chases is “—oh/ joy—actually scared”

Key learning objectives are enforced as the child interacts with the puppy such as object, number and letter recognition is met as the child continues to explore the various parts of the puppy. This toy allows the child to “actively seek to understand his environment”. (Boyd, Bee, pg.

Once a puppy dog being trained as a service dog reaches eighteen to twenty months, they leave their training family and are brought to the training organization for further training along with other service dogs. The dogs are trained to have good manners. During their training time they learn fifty plus commands. They are trained to perform tasks that are difficult and uncomfortable such as crawling along the floor so that they can get under furniture to retrieve items that their owners may have dropped. The dogs must be strong in case they need to push or pull a wheel chair through a narrow area. At the end of training, they are given difficult tests to test their shyness and submissiveness, if they startle, and if they are forgiving and loving. If they pass all their tests, they go through a boot camp where their potential owners are trained how to take care of them. During

Patience is a very important quality to posses when it comes to dog training. It might take to a child months to learn the ABC's as well as for a dog to develop a new skill. It is important to remember that each dog is different, for some it might take one class and for some more. Some dogs will be driven by treats and some by a game. It is essential to find what makes them feel good, to help them recognize that they did right. It is important to commit to the process and to make sure that everyone of the family are engaged in the process, not to provide mixed signals to the

The car ride to Detroit Catholic Central High School felt the same as any other car ride I have ever taken in my entire life, boring. Just sitting, wanting to move around but cannot because of the small space and the belt harnessing you to the chair. But I knew I was going to play a game I have been

Pets, most of America has a lovely animal they like to call their own. In my case, I have a wonderful chihuahua named Pinto. Though he can be a pain in my butt most of the time, he’s still my little boy. The nice thing about Pinto is that he’s very cuddly. If you’re just chilling on the couch he’ll come up to you and snuggle right up next to you. It can be a pain sometimes if you’re trying to sleep and he just gets all up in your personal space and steps all over you. Pinto also likes to bark, a lot. He doesn’t need a reason he just does it.

My father would take me out on walks and we would look for Tarantula holes. I would also explore on my own. It also started when my family and I would travel. I have been to all 50 states and I have seen many national parks in the country. I love to go on hikes and lean about the plants from around the country and how they are different from the cacti in Arizona.

The process is very organized and easy to learn. My volunteer time is not scheduled; I could come and go as I please as long as they were open. This was perfect for me because I have a very busy schedule and could squeeze in volunteer time when I could. Tasks are not assigned, so I could go in and do what I want. Many of the dogs that I visited were extremely sweet and just wanted someone to love on them. I loved going into their room or area to sit and cuddle with them. Many enjoyed having a long belly rub, and some took naps in my lap. Other dogs were really excited to get out and play, and I enjoyed throwing the tennis ball around in the play yard for them. There is a short trail through the woods in front of the building, and most of the dogs love walking up and down it, so I would take them through there, too. I went to Paws one day and brought one of the running buddy dogs, Belle, to campus during lunch hour. My friends enjoyed playing with her, and she loved being out of the building in a new place. We took a walk around campus, and when I took her back to Paws, she was exhausted but so happy from all the fun she had. Another great part of the experience was when dogs I had played with were adopted; it was exciting to see them find their new

School has started for these pups at the Hero Dogs training program to help the people in need, such as veterans. These adorable little puppies will become helping heros when training in this 2-year program. The puppies learn simple commands and skills, like shutting the doors or walking up the stairs. Each dog is assigned to a veteran based on their energy, behavior, and skills. It also depends on the veteran’s lifestyle and needs. The dogs are trained to be calming, to help anxiety, or to be empathic when things are difficult. These dogs always lived a special life.

The dog becomes the child’s constant companion, the sense of loneliness is taken away from the child. The children in these cases reported increased physical independence and freedom from relying on others to assit in daily tasks (Davis 136). The dogs undergo serious training before being placed with the child. Sometimes the dog and child would actually meet weeks leading up to the placement to warm up to eachother before permanent placement. The parent is the primary handler, the dog is trained to guide the child but ultimately take orders or listen to the parent. The dog is tethered to the child by a harness and put on a leash that the parent carries, this gives the child freedom and the parent security, the dog controls the child from darting off.

In January of 2004, my parents surprised my sister and I with our very own puppy. We were ecstatic because it was our first pet. When we got the dog home, we immediately began thinking of suitable names. Finally, we decided on Gracie, and we have been enjoying her company ever since. Nearly 11 years later my parents decided to surprise us again. They bought a new puppy named Molly and welcomed her to the family. Since then Gracie and Molly have been the best of friends. They enjoy snuggling under blankets, taking naps, and playing fetch. Although Gracie and Molly share many of the same interest, they differ in that of breed, age, and attitude.

My project did end up similar to what I planned in the beginning. I met my goal to learn as much as I could about therapy dogs but the piece of the project that didn’t turn up exactly how I expected was, again, the fact that I couldn’t get my dog a certification because of his age. This sort of wrecked my plans as far as bringing my dog into a nursing home myself. Looking back, I can only be grateful for a backup plan - my grandma’s dog, Shadow.
