As I pack up my Brattleboro office this picture came up on memories(my first time competing at that level) and I thought yes this week is another sigh of relief as I transition to a smaller more intimate practice. After 35 years of practice it is a good time to reflect back on all the wonderful clients and patients I have been honored to be able to help. My new home practice space has an amazing quilt made by a past employee and I look at the squares and the wonderful comments made by past clients fondly. Here is a video of my new home office so you can see this wonderful quilt on display. Thank you Jan for this gift.

I will also be at the Community Dog training center in Guilford two days a month and will share pictures of that space in a few weeks.

Look in the comments for the video as Facebook says I can’t post a picture and video at the same time.

I will be available two days a month at the Community Dog Training center in Guilford Vt. My new practice will focus on acupuncture /spinal manipulation /herbal and nutritional medicine. I will also continue seeing horses for acupuncture and spinal manipulation. Please contact me at [email protected] for appointments.

Nice concise post. And keep your dog's immune system strong with great nutrition.

Reports of an "outbreak" of some as yet unidentified canine respiratory illness are scaring dog owners. But veterinarians and researchers aren't panicking.

Good article for this week's humidity. Be very careful with your dogs in this heat as well. They are very inefficient in dissipating heat!

Study: To prevent exertional heat illness, handlers should reapply cool water to hot horses every minute without scraping it off.
