"Is tu gra mo croi." Jayden's Rowena, or Rowena (meaning: "White Mane") is the name of the beautiful black and white freckled Border Collie that I have raised and trained to become my service dog. She has given me something that many care providers have never been able to give me... an increase in my level of functioning that has enabled me to become a more active member of my community. This is a journal of the triumphs and trials of our wonderful partnership.

Hey, Just a Summertime Check-in...
Just a quick entry to let everyone know that with all the heat and sunlight, I have retreated indoors til after dark. I write in this blog at night, so you will note that my entries have decreased a bit. The heat is killing me! I can't wait til Autumn. Rowena is old enough this year to enjoy it with me! I look forward to showing her piles of leaves and long walks by day in the coolness that fall graciously presents to me after my long-suffering of summer's heat, humidity and social withdrawal. It is the greatest effort right now just to walk down the street for an appointment, let alone taking a bus with no air conditioning into Orono... but then again, that beats walking there!
