October 16, 2007 – Cool, sunny. Lenore went to the vet for the first time Monday (Paula came also) and met Jeff Meyer, who is, I think, one of the great vets anywhere. First, Lenore cuddled Toni, and then Kierstin (see below) and after Jeff examined her carefully and pronounced her fit and calm, she went to sleep, something no border collie in his or her right mind would do on an examining table. Lenore is nothing if not resilient.
