Good news about Ernie. Yeah! it is hard to see our four-footed family members suffer. If daily treatment will do the trick, then good for Ernie.
TG, what is your OLLI class about? I guess I don't understand the term "head teams". I like OLLI classes and catch some on AARP. The ones that my university presents are just too pricey, $40 per person for a 60 minute lecture on an interesting topic is not where I want to spend my $$$. I take advantage of many AARP presentations from across the country. They are all free even for non-AARP members.
