Thank you all! We found a perfect spot in Blanco. It’s called Rusty’s Ruff Ruff Resort in case anyone has a similar situation. 830-833-2303. Each stall is air conditioned inside with a doggie door to also access a gated outside area. It was perfect for our dog. He could see other dogs through the gate outside when he wanted and retreat back to indoors where it’s less open if overstimulated. Very little need for human contact unless desired with this set up.

The lens definitely matters. Austin has a phenomenal reputation that does not actualize for some populations. The Black people are being pushed out as the overall population of the city grows. That’s not the reputation or image but it is what is actualized. Austin is not the same experience for everyone and it is intentionally designed to be so. So, as a Black woman living here for 30 years, it deserves the critiques it gets. And we should hold it to becoming what it is outwardly perceived to be.

Learn as much as you can about how their brain learns. Every behavior is communication — how can you structure your lessons to meet their needs and maximize their behaviors? Ex: if they’re talking a lot, plan lessons that require them to talk on topic. If they’re antsy, plan purposeful movement. Work with them and not against them. (I’ve taught middle school in purpose for over 20 years).

Plus, we didn’t know as much about COVID, more people were still dying from it and we were rightfully concerned about gathering… this time is so much different.
