| St. Mary's Nativity School asks: How old is Annie and how long have you had her? Sue answers: Annie is three and a half years odl, we got her when she and her sister walked up our driveway one summer evening. They were puppies. Nobody claimed them so we kept Annie and gave her sister to a neighbor. Annie is a great companion and a very smart canine! Annie has good manners because Abby, our 14 year old dog keeps her in check. Abby is too old for marshmission adventures but she is a great influence on Annie! |

| Southern University Laboratory School asks: What are some preventative measures that scientists have exployed to save our wetlands? Are these preventative measures working? CC answers: Most of the work being done would be considered repair like the siphons put up along the Mississippi River to get the sediment back out into the marsh. Sue and I are going out to the Davis Pond project this week and will write about it next week.
Many measures are working, but now they are on a small scale, putting a few new acres of marsh back where we have lost much. Many more projects are on the drawing board. |

| Phoenix Magnet Elementary asks: Has Annie ever been chased or attacked by any of the animals she has encountered on your trip? Sue answers: Annie is a good observer of nature. She is usually still and quiet in the wild. She has never been chased or attacked. However, her one weakness is chasing squirrels. Annie cannot stop stalking them. When she sees them she points to the tree they are in. |

| Audubon Elementary asks: We learned that the environment determines an area's ecosystem. What might happen if an area has a dramatic decrease in rainfall? CC answers: It could turn into a desert habitat if the rainfall goes below 10 inches per year. New Orleans get a little over 60 inches per year. |
