nothing new on anna yet-- if i had to hope i would think more like lyme but so far that test is neg...she was running a slight temp last night....i think i like that-- as opposed to 100% neurological.....sometimes lyme test is neg for a few more days so i a sure tehy will redo...at any rate poor lynn got to go home-- i think---------thank heavens for lynn... i could not cope with the hours she is having to put in... anna is in the very best place she could hope to be in....it is the local mass general of vet meds... they have everything right there... problem is they are getting soooooo busy-- they really need a triage division.. as last night it was quite a while before anna got in... they were giving respiratory problems priority at that point.-- luckilu all our camerq people have given us the extr dollar or two. for teh fun fund so having to consider the cost was not an issue. anna care does not quite fit the discription " for things not necessary , but interesting or fun". i was positive you would vote to go this road.... that is what is nice about being a "small outfit". lynn or i did not have to have a committee meeting to decide what is do able....-- we are constantly under pressure to do what i consider paperwork things.. and i can go along as long as it does not prevent us from being efficient so we can donate the dogs.... it is possible to get so many overlapping systems that all practical aspects are lost--- the minute that happens we will go back to being "very small". and alot more efficient. we are in the dog training business... in order to help people... i am not too sure who demanded we have teh most current paper shreader in order to help people.....-- but we have it.

one of the cp's suggested socks for the new horse..... here on trial...matches sizzle- black.... 4 white socks and a blaze -- one of janine's finds... seems like a nice horse--- janine's troop now includes a cowboy-- with hat-- who will try and ride anything-- and give you an opinion..sounds like a plan...especially since i don't have a saddle or bridle.-- he has his own.---- she is a "wide body" model --- i would e inclined to ride "western". except the western saddle weigh 3 tiems what the english. one does.... could be a deciding factor--------.in new england-- english riders consider themselves more accomplished than western riders... english riding kind of circualtes around riding dressage -- or. jumping-- for an hour or so a day.. where western riding involves being comfortable for both horse and rider 8. to 10 hours a day,-- english ridign around thorobreds --and a few european crosses..and. with western riding-- whatever works... mostly quarter horses-- QH-----chunky things with a leg in each corner...who chase cows like teh herding dogs chase sheep...... th quarter. referrs to. they can race a quarter of a mile faster than about any other horse...-hence teh quick cow chasing ability. you have seen in rodeos where they chase and rope a cow.. and the cowboy jumps off-- so teh horse becomes a 1200 pound object to tie the cow to... and it just stands there -- known for being more sensable than thorobreds..... you jump off a thorobred in teh field, you walk home... this black mare is teh shape of a QH-- just alot bigger..... janine thought she was a driving horse... which just takes a little adjustment to become a riding horse. may replace part of my golf cart riding time.... and exercise more parts of me.

Options Virtual Charter – Eve Dahl
Options Virtual Charter School 7th grader Eve Dahl and her service dog Finn have been enrolled with Options for the past three years. Eve has Ol (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) and can break bones quite easily. Her dog, Finn gives Eve support when she is out of her chair and protects her from accidental bumps or falls when other students/people are nearby. In the past year Eve has taken up dance which helps her to gain muscle strength in her arms, legs and core muscles. It also helps with her concentration and pain management.
Eve has participated in the Virtual World Para Dance Sport Competition, governed by the International Paralympic Committee. In her most recent competition, she placed 4th out of 23 entries in her class in Women’s Freestyle. Attending Options allows Eve to work at the pace she needs while coping with her OI and practicing her dance.
