Ella goes to college!
 

I start summer school in July, just a 4 week course- from 8 am til 1230 with a break in between. I contacted the dean and he said Ella could come to class with me with approval of the instructor. So..... I emailed the instructor and she said that she can come the first day to see how it goes!! And if it goes well she can continue to come.

I am super excited but also nervous. Ella comes to basketball games with me and is very well behaved there- she lays in my lap the entire time and either looks around or sleeps. She also came to work with me and she had a little more freedom there but she was still very good. I hope I dont look like an idiot trying to bring a crazy dog to class.. I want her to be calm! And I am pretty sure she will be ok but.........:confused: anyone have tips?

I am hoping that she will just lay in my lap but I am bring her kennel also. And I bought a kong to keep her busy in her kennel- what kind of treat should I put in it to keep her busy for a while. I was thinking peanut butter- thats safe right? Any particular kind, or other ideas? Thanks :)

Wow, this is amazing! I've never even thought to ask, but I hardly think I would be as lucky. Although, there is a professor in my college that brings her Yorkie to work with her (but I think she leaves him in her office while she teaches). How exciting! I really have any advice for you--because I What did you say to the dean when you asked? Lol :p

Nothin special- I just said I had a yorkie puppy I got in May and I was wondering if she could come to classes with me. And he said sure ask your teachers!

Who knew.

That's great! I wonder if I can try that in the fall. I go to San Francisco State and I am wondering if they will be that lenient:D

Lol well my college is in a pretty small town.... might as well try tho!

LOL, just don't forget the wee wee pads!
Very cool of the school to allow this!!!

Lucky You!!! I wish I could bring one of mine with me to the office each day.

I'd be sure to take her out for a good long walk early in the morning so that she'd have some of her energy worked out and be more inclined to rest/sleep during class. Wee-Wee pads are a good idea if outside isn't readily available. And some water.

Good luck, and let us know how it goes that first day. :)

That is so cool I hope all goes smoothly! :cool:

Try taking her for a long walk so she's tired out first...that's what I do when I want Bandit to make a good first impression:D

Ella has done great in class! She sits in my lap the whole time :) I am gonna give her a break tomorrow tho and leave her in her ex pen so she doesnt get sick of it or something.

That is really cool!

Wow, lucky you! :D I can't imagining even asking but it sure would make my life more convenient if I could take mine to class with me.

:( Ella cant come to class with me anymore :( She was a perfect angel in class- always slept in my lap the whole time. Occasionally she quietly chewed on her bully but she mostly slept. A couple of the students even commented that they had forgotten she was in there.
But.... I walk into class one day last week and the teacher asks where Ella was. (Well actually she called her "pup-dog" she actually never asked what her name was. So that was a sign I guess....) And I told her that she stayed home with my grandmother for the day to give her a break. So the teacher was like "OH thats good she cant come anymore I got a complaint yesterday sorry."

I was so confused. Of course I just said okay I understand, so that I wouldnt be disrespectful but really... I didnt understand at all. She was perfect. And IMO the teacher just changed her mind about letting her come I think because she doesnt particularly like me because I have my own ideas. Because.... IF there had been a complaint the day before, she would have emailed me the night before to tell me not to bring her. (The class does a lot online and we all frequently exchange emails, including the teacher). Personally, I think that she just saw an opportunity to say hey dont bring her anymore....

Anyway I guess it doesnt matter it just bothers me that she said that someone complained.... Ugh. And Im upset because I thought it was going so well. It wa a shock. Oh well, Ella just stays with my grandma in the mornings whiel I am at school.

Sorry for the long post... just needed to vent..... *sigh*
