Great movie - our Monkey Jax is a white faced capuchin just like Gigi in the movie!

Nature’s Edge Therapy Center in Rice Lake, Wisconsin provides speech, language, physical and occupational therapy regardless of financial ability. They shared 2 stories with us about their beautiful Gypsy Vanners.

Simba, a LexLin Gypsy Vanner has been working to his full potential. We are so thankful for Simba. He continues to be adored by all. This year, he was a special favorite of one of our older patients, a gentlemen with Huntington’s Disease. Simba took wonderful care of him. Simba is sturdy and balanced as well as gentle to provide the treatment that can impact function in others. We are blessed by your generosity and for all that you do. We hope you can come to visit soon!
And We love Chloe! She has continued to learn and grow, and we were happy to begin using her for patient sessions this summer. Thank you again for allowing this lovely mare to be a member of our therapy team, we are so grateful!

Sincerely,
Becky Payne, Director

South Doyle High School Madrigal singers came to visit the Villa Collina. This great group of kids and their fearless leader, Cody Boling (in green), travels our community spreading Christmas joy all over Knox County. We had Chick-fil-a for lunch and Dr. Barton gave each student a Regal gift card to say thanks for all they do!

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." - John F. Kennedy

Today is Veterans Day, a holiday created to honor all those who have served in an American war. It began as Armistice Day, on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the cessation of hostilities in World War I—on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Thank you for your service.

You Can Donate Your Leftover Halloween Candy to American Troops and First Responders

Operation Gratitude has set up a number of drop-off centers around the country to accept your extra treats (you can search by zip code). Once collected, they’ll send them to both troops and first responders. Since 2003, the group has sent nearly 2.5 million care packages to deserving heroes.

https://www.operationgratitude.com/express-your-thanks/halloween-candy/

We include a handful of candy in every Care Package we send. A major source of these sweet treats is our popular Halloween Candy Give-Back Program hosted by generous dentists, businesses, groups, and families.

Summit Equestrian Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana teamed up with MindCAP to combine cognitive coaching with equine therapy. MindCAP uses cognitive puzzles and problem-solving methods to help clients become better critical thinkers and work through issues like attention deficit disorder, age-related cognitive decline, autism spectrum disorder, brain injuries, giftedness or spina bifida.
Summit Equestrian Center's motto is “People, Horses, Hope” and works with children, teens, adults and veterans. “Equine therapy can be effective when working through issues from anxiety to post-traumatic stress disorder and more,” Allison Wheaton, executive director of Summit Equestrian Center said.

Students ranging from age 6 to 15, participated in a parade after they spent several hours working with the horses and dressing them up. LexLin’s Gypsy Vanner, Iris, looks like a super hero and is certainly valued for her beauty and gentle demeanor. We are so proud of the work Iris is doing and support Summit Equestrian Center’s mission of helping others.

What a great day of team building! It's always nice to step outside the office and enjoy each other's company.

Our day involved lunch, bowling, and the escape room. You can see all three groups made it out on time! Well-done you guys!
