Dog-gone Holiday Gifts Mrs. Wilcox’s 3rd Grade Classroom: So as not to forget about our canine community members, the 3rd grade learned about measurement and following written directions as they prepared dog biscuits for the animal shelter. Biscuits came in a variety of flavors including peanut butter, bark-B-cue, Paw-lickin-chicken and several others that I could not quite discern, however I was assured were dog favorites. When called for a reaction the Coalition for Cat Equality made the following statement: “ Once again the press has chosen to cover stories which perPETuate the purrrception that it is ‘a dog’s world’ and that dogs - not cats - are a man best friend. We defy that belief and call upon the news media to accept the fact that Cats Rule and Dogs Drool.... Mix that in your biscuits and chew it!” Clearly that cat has its tongue. The publisher would like to emphasize that it takes no position on the previous statements, and that, despite the fact that no one on staff has never owned a cat, is convinced that they serve some purpose- much like dogs... or turtles.
