JP :>    I donno' -- I was beginning to think I was nothing but
JP :>a coward ......
Ha!  I can't think of "you" and "coward" in the same sentence!  You might be 
nervous, even scared, but a coward?  Never!
JP :>    That's all I want to do, Meg ...... I have to get
JP :>started back someplace -- I'd like nothing better than for
JP :>X and me both to really be calm and relaxed -- the rest
JP :>will come later .
Well, I sent you a response to your post about his bowel problem....if what I 
suspect is true, then I'd hold off on this show, Jean.  What he doesn't need 
is more stuff to make him nervous.
JP :>    Well, don't know 'bout that -- I would LIKE to do
JP :>better -- but most of X's "problems" are ME ....I'm
JP :>trying to take it slow and easy....I finally figured out
JP :>today that the problem I was having with him backing up was
JP :>ME -- I was excerting leg pressure making him back sideways
JP :>-- when I finally figured it out and held my legs AWAY from
JP :>his sides, he backed up straight and nice ...... when I
JP :>wanted him to turn backing up just a little pressure on the
JP :>oppisite side - he was AWESOME!!!  We did a figure 8 type
JP :>backup like a breeze ...... too bad I was giving him mixed
JP :>signals before -- he must have thought *I* was nuts
JP :>.
Doesn't it always amaze you how even the smallest aid mistakes can result in 
such big problems (g)!
Meg
