Plei, because our greyhound was more used to being around domestic situations, we didn't have too much trouble with her adapting. The doggie door was the only hiccup. Thankfully, we had another dog who showed her how to use it, otherwise we would have had to do the the treat thru the door coaxing. It took about 3 hours and she went thru by herself. She didn't like stairs but after a couple of days was fine. Our greyhound had a strong prey-drive, so we could never let her be off-leash at the dog park. The most fascinating part of having her was watching her run in giant circles in the backyard when she was in the mood to just run.
The one thing we found out was that we didn't need to do any strong corrections with Brady at all. She was really smart, so when she was naughty, you didn't have to yell, just a deeper tone of voice was all it took and once she got in trouble for doing something, she never did it again (which is good because the first time she was alone, she chewed our very expensive wood blinds and I had to replace them - more of that would not have been cool).
Oh, poor Frisco! Here's hoping the ABs help him feel better right away -- and that Ellie doesn't get sick too!
I hope both kids are well soon, Nonian.
library and writing type people -- I'm writing a report in which I say "this program is a major tool to produce 'leaders for . . . ". The "leaders for . . ." is/was the university motto. This pedant wants me to give it a cite, since it's in quotes. I sort of feel like it's the freaking motto, it doesn't need a cite, kind of like "God Bless America", but I'm willing to do it, if I can do it properly. How do you cite a motto? Cite to the first use of it?
I would cite to a university page about it, or something like that. Don't most universities have a web page about their crest and motto and shit? Check University archives if it isn't at the admissions website.
Like, for UGA, I would cite this [link]
Yes, we do, but it just seems silly to me to cite the university's motto in a memo to the Provost. Outside of the university, sure, but not an internal document. Whatever, I will put in a cite, which will probably be edited out when it gets incorporated into a larger document.
Oh, silly I definitely grant you! But if they want it, whatever, is my motto.
But if they want it, whatever, is my motto.
I will use this post as a cite of your motto if I need to in the future.
If it's an internal document, I wouldn't do anything but put quotations around it. One presumes the provost is familiar with the motto. Externally, I'd write something like, "This program is a major tool to produce leaders... , the goal stated in the University's motto."
