Day 15~

Today's weather was much better! High 68, sunny with a breeze. The rest of the week should be very nice as well (high 60's to low 70's). I wasbusier today with more jobs to do. After taking Nero out and working Ding on the high speed treadmill (tomorrow he will be going home!), I helped the girls clean up the barn yard and the treadmill room for the upcoming Open House. Then, I had a riding lesson on a very cute little cob-pony named Drummer. My instructor, Jane, is wonderful! She thoroughly addresses all of my questions in ways that I understand. After the lesson came lunch, and then another work-out with Ding on the treadmill before Kathryn gave us a demonstration on a new piece of equipment. Hartpury now owns a water treadmill for dogs! I have seen one of these in use at a veterinary rehab center in PA and it was fascinating, so I am very excited to be able to use one here. Once we figure out what we are doing, we will be testing dogs in it as early as next week! This will be a very cool tool for the small animal department here at Hartpury. Hopefully I will have pictures up soon. After work tonight, I skyped with Grant, had dinner with some friends in the cafeteria, then went for a much-needed work-out in the gym! Later, I watched the 6th Harry Potter movie, skyped with Brad, and called home to mom and dad. They say it is very hot and humid there!
The campus is beginning to clear out as students are finishing their final exams and gradually trickling home. I expect it to become rather scarce around here in the next few weeks. Still, some students will stay to work throughout the summer so I won't be totally alone. I have 27 days left. I'm almost half-way through this internship! WOW! I am most excited for my day trip to London coming up this Sunday! I was very glad to hear that its not being cancelled. Hopefully I'll be able to find some cool souvenirs to lug home in my already bulging suitcases! Well, I miss you all, thanks for reading! Stay cool across the pond!
