For sure. Our Master Apprentice program is supposed to be 4.5 hours per week contact but we spend a lot of time in English. You can at most get folks started on doing more. Still some language is better than none.

Close up photo of Gilda's coonhound face where she really looks like Snorkmaiden. Gilda (L) and Chiquita (R) on a dogbed by the fireplace in the Carbondale house. Gilda on a harness and leash ready to go for a run. Chiquita (L) and Gilda (R) on the couch surrounded by pillows.

Rest in peace beloved Gilda, Snorkmaiden, mama G, lumpy lady, Gina Pina darling. You are with Chiquita now, and you can run with her again just like we did in Carbondale. I will see you both on the other side. I hear there's lots of cat poop there and no humans to stop you from eating it.

A photo of a copy of the 2012 Puffin edition of Moominland Midwinter by Tove Jansson. The cover art is by the author.

"Time and all the world was lost. Everything he could feel and look at had blown away, only a bewitched whirl of damp and dancing darkness was left.
Any sensible person could have told him that this was the very moment when the long spring was born."
