	Vote for Ben to be PAT Dog of the Year My old dog (Sara's Mister Ben) Ben has reached the finals of Pets as Therapy Dog of the Year 2008. This is very exciting. Even at the age of 12, Ben is still an agility dog. His claim to fame was when he came 2nd in the Longleat Derby some eight or nine years ago! He manages one agility round each day at shows in Grade 4 but he's a bit slow.  Attached is a poster about Ben and his work at Cherry Trees Respite Home for Children with Disabilities. We need as many votes as possible as the decision is made by 50% of public votes.  Contact: Votes must be in to www.yours.co.uk by 26 September 2008 so there's not much time. Thanking you in anticipation!

	Get well Keith Powell My name is Abby Powell. My uncle is Keith Powell. He trains his agility dog Magic (Elbereth Taika) the Finnish Lapphund, and has written an article on for Agilitynet regarding single dose vaccinations. Unfortunately he suffered a severe stroke a few days ago and is currently in Frimley Park Hospital where he is now stable. I was writing to ask whether anyone has any photos of him and his dogs that I could print off and take him as I don't have any here with me. I would also like to let other people who know so that anyone who knows him can get in contact as  I'm sure he would appreciate the support. He is currently in ward f10 and will be there for about two week. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

SORTED	I am looking for someone who does canine residential training in Agility. I have seen a service in residential courses for Dog Training and Behavioural Rehabilitation but not in agility. I want someone who knows what they are doing to take my dog on and work with him and the bad habits he has picked up from trainers who say that they've 'never seen a dog do that or 'I think you should take a year out' or 'why don't you stick to flyball!'
