Fran's Addison's Disease, (a rare auto-immune disorder along with Vitimin B12 deficiency and Coeliacs disease) which affects both humans and other animals, is now coming under control - but with no thanks to the medical profession and their ridiculous protocols! However, Fran now strictly limits herself to puppy classes, some good citizen dog scheme and agility training. All other work is now being undertaken by Glynis, Claire-Louise, or passed over to Dogs In Training.
