About Me

My photo
Mailey E. McLaughlin, M.Ed.
"It joined them at breakfast, and presently ate/ All the syrup and toast, and part of a plate." I help dogs with people problems as The Pooch Professor in Atlanta, GA. I also climb trees, read too much, shoot loud guns at pieces of paper, get lost in my own head, laugh at my own jokes, ask a lot of questions, perform weddings and funerals, and ramble. Critical thinking is my jam. I'm a militant agnostic: I don't know, and you don't either. "Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor/ Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door."
