<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Edison's back! He's not working yet, but
here's how I know things will be alright. When Edison was really hurting,
our cat Peaches would go up to him and sniff. Then she'd walk away.
Now she's back to being Edison's annoying little sister, wanting to play;
chase, batting him on the nose, etc. He wants to play chase too and
will run about half way down the hall. Then he just stands there for a few
seconds. Then he's off running again. After a little while, he goes
back to his bed, now with a heating pad on top, and dozes the rest of the
afternoon. I've had him guide me from the kitchen to the front door, and
he pulls out in harness. I have a new project. You may have noticed
that my vet wasn't able to get the kind of ex-ray he wanted, so I'm saving to
get him a newer machine that can accommodate bigger dogs. That's the
problem. Dr. Bashra took over a practice that saw small animals
mostly. It may take me five years, but nobody should have to put their
animal through an unnecessary ride just to get a decent ex-ray and
diagnosis. Also, nobody should be on the radar at their guide dog school
just because of an accident. That's like blaming the victim. Right
now, I'm on the radar. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
