Ducky

    This is "Ducky" so as we call her.
         
     So here is the story. She strangely appeared when my sister and I were in the car waiting for our father. I opened my car door and she ran up to me with no collar on. Two seconds later, my father walked out and she literally jumped into his arms. We could not just leave her there, so we put her into the backyard. Then we drove away.
     While, we were gone my mother dried of the dog because it was raining. She feed her and let her meet our dogs for a little while, and then locked them away. My mom texted my dad and said she was a very sweet dog. I couldn't wait to meet the dog.
     An hour and a half later, we came home and found the dog baby-gated in the kitchen. She was wagging her tail like crazy. My sister and I walked into the kitchen and we played with her. A few minutes passed, my little sister decided we should call her something. We all thought for a moment. Then my parents said we should call her Ducky. My sister tried to argue. The called her that because we were joking about getting a duck, so we call her Ducky.
     We all knew she was domesticated because of how kind she was, and she knew the basics in dog training such as sit and lay down.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
