Working on the grieving book. Thursday, Joe Donahue and I will discuss Animal Grieving at 2 p.m. on “Dog Talk” on WAMC, Northeast Public Radio out of Albany (www.amc.org).

Today, working on animal grieving book. Rose and I have had a blast at Merck Forest. We will back there Wednesday. Rose is very gentle and steady with the ewes and the lambs. Sometimes they rush out to butt or challenge her, but she just backs away. They are all getting more comfortable. She just starest them back and turns them around.
