Limbo

I feel as though I am in limbo. I am waiting for my oncologist to make arrangements for the new regime.

Meanwhile I have been rocked by unexpected deaths (see Bittersweet). Then on Monday evening I saw a brief note that gifted dog trainer and herding clinician Bob Vest had died.

Bob was magic. I was one of his many ( hundreds or thousands) of students. I was fortunate to attend several clinics held by Bob and participate in an American Herding Breed Association trial he judged. I learned about myself and received encouragement to keep on working from Bob. Like the best teachers, he put me into situations that exposed my weakness and help me figure out how to overcome them. This city girl had a long way to go and still does. I feel that if I had known more, I could have learned more from Bob.
