I have no choice but to. I'm fairly certain this behavior is sprouting from the fact that his enclosure is officially too small. He wants to walk and graze, like what he feels is natural. It's cloudy again today but it may clear up some in a few hours to let it warm up enough to get him out for a bit...
Maybe this will help push Hubby to starting on Clunkers new enclosure. I hope it gets warmer today as well so that Clunker can get his outside time.

Good evening all hope every one is ok 
This is what my husband sent back.
Haven’t heard a word from her and my son says she acts like nothing happened . I asked him if they talked.
There’s 4 weeks of school left and he moved on to high school.
Dear Ms. Hoffman,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the below mentioned situation. I want to say that while we are very surprised to hear that Connor had cheated on this test, we understand and support your actions today. We are certain you are disappointed.
We discussed it at length with him and I wanted to relay Connor's words.
He immediately confirmed that he started the test early, but he truley feels that he did not cheat, for the following reasons:
Connor states:
He did not have a pen/pencil/paper out during the test review.
Other kids can confirm this.
He started the test on the first problem rather than going through the test and answer the test review questions first.
He was ready for the test, confident and only guilty of starting early.
In his 14 year old teenage heart (and14 year old brain), he believes that he didn’t cheat. You are his favorite teacher and he was completely demoralized and uncharacteristically emotional when he got home. Again, we understand and support your decisions and we believe in consequences too, we just felt it was important to share this with you.
It’s fine! I posted here first.
Hi Laura.Good evening all hope every one is ok
All good this side. And how are you?
You all can call me bad and evil, but I cheated from time to time in school too. I think it is no big thing when children do that. It is only a big thing when they are caught by cheating.....
I was never caught.....
She says he started the test while she was going over the review answers but he said he didn’t and only answered #1 while she was still talking.
Nice letter. I would think however that considering the teacher was the one who sent the first letter that she would be looking out for your reply and respond as soon as she got it.
I am going to hit the hay early tonight. So good night, sleep tight and sweet dreams.
Wow. . . just wow! That was a great response.If I were that teacher I would be feeling so guilty right about now!
Strike days are fine. They happen. Going on strike for weeks is a problem.
My husband should have been a lawyer! He amazes me with some of the stuff he comes up with!
It’s hard because you want to support the teacher and trust your kid at the same time.
He still has lost his privileges at home.
Good evening all.
Another good weather day. Mostly walking sea cliffs and bird-watching with an agility test to get in a neolithic burial mound to finish
Mull Head
The Italian Chapel - a Nissen Hut converted by Italian WWII prisoners using salvaged materials
Tomb of the Eagles - so named because they found eagle talons among the bones interred in this 5000 year old burial mound.

The interior
And more sea cliffs and inlets

You seriously need to make a calendar with these photos!! They are gorgeous!!
What a wonderful place!Good morning all. Sorry I couldn’t get back to you yesterday. The need for sleep was too great.
We have walked well over 10km (7 miles) every day so far and, given my loss of fitness due to back problems, it has been very hard work. My back is doing well though
So, a quick roundup of yesterday... weather: sunny, wind chilly
First off some stone circles for @Moozillion, both 4-5000 year old neolithic. To put these dates in place, Stonehenge is only 2500 years old!

Maeshow is much bigger. You’re not allowed to take photos inside, but the Vikings found it and covered it in rune graffiti! You still have to bend right over and shuffle down a 30ft/10 metre passage to get in!

You can't move for history - wonderful.
Oh dear hope she's not suffering too much and they can come up with a good plane to help her.
