My dog ate my digital homework

I’ve heard people claim that moving to digital learning can help eliminate “the dog ate my homework excuse.”

Dog Destroys Memory Cards

My daughter’s shar pei, snagged my 2.0 GB SD memory card and destroyed it. Let that be another lesson for all you kids out there.

    I bet there were some embarrassing shar pei photos stored on this disk?

    What a riot! That is pretty throughly trounced. Hope there was some backups….

    Never seen anything quite like that before!
    Must be one ferocious sharpei ;)

    Alan,
    Fortunately I had just wiped it but left it on the coffee table where she snagged it.

    Actually I am worried about the poor dog – is it okay? Surely this digital stuff can’t be good for our pets? Amazing the number of different ways my students have managed to lose their digital work – look forward to this one.

    Luckily my dog is not an early adapter of web 2.0 tools. She still prefers shoes.

    Dean,
    I’ve already had one student bring me a chewed up flash drive with his homeowrk on it. He was still expecting me to perform miracles on retrieving his writing that his lab ate! I had to laugh when I saw yours too!

    Well, that does add a new *wrinkle* to things doesn’t it? (snort)

    The same thing happened to the last ball used in the World Series. I’ve only lost a pair of headphones to a dog, so I’m not out to much.

    When I had a student tell me a few months ago that his dog ate his flash drive I was dumbfounded – didn’t know whether to laugh or cry! I let him off the hook because he 1) made me speechless and 2) was so creative with his “excuse.” Now I see that perhaps that kid was telling the literal truth. LOL Thanks for the great pic.

    I wonder if a CF card would have stood up any better.

    The fact that so many blogs focus on pet shows once again that they are indeed man’s best friend. It’s great to see so many people now looking more seriously at dog’s health issues, whether it’s dog food or pet insurance.

    I just looked up “dog eat sd card” to see if it was a good topic for a blog post and indeed it is. I’ve just bought a micro SD card for my phone and at 8Gb (scary, I know) it’s the size that a dog could eat it and if it was big enough, you might be able to wait until it passed it through and you could wait for it at the other end.

    I’m sure that if it were ingested (and digested) that the data only being 1s and 0s would be easily passed through – though the silicon is another matter… dogs have after all been eating bits of plastic toys since the 50s.

    I must add that one to my list of excuses the next time my boss gives me a project. I wonder if it works with memory sticks instead?

    I’m a professor and saved some of my students’ podcasts onto a very small jump drive. Well, guess what… I think it fell off of my countertop, and I think my 14 month old Dobe might have eaten it! Ughhh…. I hope eating a jump drive won’t hurt her! I remember her crunching on something next to the dog crate the other day. I thought she had found a bone on the ground. Now I’m wondering if it was my jump drive…. The crate is next to the countertop where it was last seen….
