Yard improvement is one of Betty’s hobbies. One thing that bugs her is an unsightly pile of sunflower stalks lying in the backyard. These things have to go and Betty will make it so.
Her technique is to yank the largest remaining stalk (6 feet long and 6 inches in circumference) out of the pile and then take a few days to chew the whole thing into small pieces of attractive mulch. For variety, Betty will make me chase her around the yard while she drags whatever remains of the stalk until it disintegrates. It is certain that the pile will be gone by spring.

Professor Betty decided she needed to supervise when I entered final grades into the system. I resisted at first because FERPA prohibits the disclosure of a student’s “protected information” to a third party. Betty pointed out that for purposes of FERPA, a “third party” includes any individual or organization other than the student or the student’s parent(s). Since Betty is a dog who can’t read or speak human language, it is impossible for me to disclose any protected information to her. I couldn’t argue with Betty’s reasoning, so I caved in to her demand.
Anyway, Professor Betty is a very strict instructor. Whenever I moved the mouse so that the pointer was over the appropriate grade, Betty would bump my arm with her nose causing the pointer to move to a lower grade. Maybe I’m too lenient. My cybersecurity students do need to be held to the highest standards, and Betty was just making sure I did that. Professor Betty isn’t going to tolerate someone hacking her treats.
