A good job for "retired" racing greyhounds. The poor things finally get to have a lie down.

Discussing them? Actually, animal sounds are all a good number of my students have ever MADE in class.

Apparently the dogs in Japan go "wan wan". I didn't realize however that lil' dogs (puppies?) were called 'wan ko' (Surprised LOL!) - I only found that out from seeing somebody's coffe cup with those syllables emblazoned across it. Shocked Laughing

Kind of "dog child", yeah?


Might be a good idea, to bring a reading animal to class, though I'd be tempted to bring a wolverine or something equally "tame". Would quickly separate the herbivore male students from the others (either that or just simply thin the class head count down a bit) Cool .
