An update on Copper, now "Cora." Cora is just the best dog EVER! She gets along very well with the three cats. One of the cats tries to bait her all the time by flagrantly batting toys right in front of her, but Cora is pretty good about not chasing. She enjoys the benefits of being around the horses because she enjoys chewing on horse hoof trimmings and the occasional bite of manure. She is the best house dog that I've probably ever had. She has not had ONE accident, not even one! She has her own bed in my home office. Sometimes I will miss her in the living room and she'll be in the office on her bed. I think after the kennel stay that she enjoys "a room of her own," quoting Virginia Wolf. I found my little calico cat snuggled with Cora about three weeks ago on Cora's bed. She and my Australian Shepherd are good friends. They like to run and play with each other. If he is outside and she isn't, then she'll whine at the back door until he's back in. Cora is known as the Fort Hays State University Sociology & Social Work Department's "Recruiting Dog" because she'll ride with me in the car's backseat when I go to student recruiting programs. I take Cora with me when I visit friends in Missouri, on university recruiting trips, and when I went Christmas shopping in Nebraska. So since November, from Hays, Kansas Cora has travelled to Columbia, Missouri twice; been to Holdrege and Kearney, Nebraska; and in Kansas, Cora has been to Great Bend, Salina, and Colby. My friend (a retired MU Mathematics professor) in Columbia says that of all his house guests that Cora is by far one of the best well-behaved and is welcome to visit anytime. Also, when that particular friend was in Rusk Physical Rehabilitation Center in Columbia, Cora visited him after knee surgery under their "Visiting Pet Policy." She plunked herself down next to his I.V. stand as though she did this every day. So Cora and I are doing very well together. Tomorrow, her pictures with an FHSU handkerchief with the tiger mascot around her neck will be framed and hung on the FHSU Sociology Department Conference Room at the request of the former department chair. My only concern is that Cora's promotion file might be thicker than my own! Kate and Cora
