Editorial Review :
Everything in Zanna's family seems to be on hold. Her father is far away. She lives with her sister and mother in a house that doesn't belong to them; all their furniture is crammed into one room and covered with sheets. Is that why Zanna is drawn to Moss? He is a Border Collie, a working sheepdog whose life is on hold, too, since his owner was paralyzed by a stroke and cannot speak. No one else on the farm his time for Moss, so he is kept on a chain in the back of the old cow barn.Zanna tries to befriend Moss, to free him and restore his spirit. But he cares only for his master, who can no longer respond to him. Both man and dog teach her about the power of trust and determination. But who has the power to keep Moss from being sold and sent away? Betty Levin's answer comes as a welcome and totally satisfying surprise, and Zanna and Moss will find a warm place in the hearts of young readers.

"Away to Me, Moss": A GREAT Book
"Away to Me, Moss" is a book for sheep dog lovers, pretty much, only. The book is centered around a little girl, a sheep dog, and a parylized man. The Rob cant take care of his sheep dog anymore, so Zanna must take care of Moss. Moss was a one man dog, but Zanna brakes him of that habit.
Rating :
Kids book that adults will like, too!
I think kids will like this book - but adults who love dogs will enjoy it too! As I read about Moss, I could see in him the same characteristics seen in other herders, especially one we fostered late last year (Barney!). The dog, the girl, and the supporting characters are all very realistically portrayed. I recommend it for kids who love dogs and adults, too.

Question : How am I going to be able to move around a college campus
I am a 14 year old girl with mild cerebral palsy. I walk on my own around the house but use one crutch at school and pretty much everywhere outside of the house. I get tired VERY easily and cannot stand/walk for long periods of time because my legs and feet hurt. I have a few more years until college but I'm getting worried. There is no way I'm going to be able to walk around a huge college. I can't use a manual wheelchair because my arms get tired just as fast as my legs. My mom thinks I should just go to a small college and walk with my crutch, but I'm thinking "How small is small and will it be small enough to save the little stamina I have" A power wheelchair would be a dream come true, but there's no way that insurance would cover it for someone who can walk on their own like me. Any suggestions P.S: I need something not too expensive-my family is middle class and we can't afford an expensive powerchair or something else.
Answer:
One of my friends in college had severe CP. He was a full time student at my university, and he went to class, he lived in the dorms, he went to dances and club meetings. Another friend had mild CP. He could walk with a cane, but not for long distances. He also was a full time student and had a social life on campus. My campus was NOT small. 25,000 students on a campus that was fairly spread out. The cool thing about most universities is that they will bend over backwards to accommodate you. You will need to tell them what help you need, and they will do their very best to provide it. My friend lived in a dorm that had been adapted to house students who needed assistance, as well as people who did not. It was the closest dorm to campus, and was right on the campus bus route. The school had a van that also picked kids up at their dorms, and dropped them off at their classes, etc. All the buildings were accessible. I think that you should look at any college that interests you, not thinking about your CP. As you find colleges you think you'll like, you should call their admissions office and find out what will be available to you on that campus. It may be as simple as making sure that you live in a dorm with an elevator, which is near to your classroom buildings, and giving you the schedule for the bus route. They may also offer shuttle busses and vans, direct door-to-door service, as my school did. All sorts of assistance may be available to you. I think it would be bad to limit your choice of colleges right from the start to only those you can walk around independently. Put some of those in the mix, of course, but also consider other schools that seem harder to get around. You may be surprised at what assistance the school can give to you.

Question : How can I decrease the amount my Chevy HHR squats in the back when I load a powerchair on my external carrier.
I installed a class 1 hitch onto my 2006 Chevy HHR (no problem), this is to allow my to load my son's power wheelchair onto a external carrier (with loading ramp). The hitch works great and is well within it's load rating. However, my vehicle "squats" about 4 inches when I load the chair. It weighs about 160 lbs total, the carrier weighs about 40 lbs. Should I change springs, shocks, leaf springs Not looking to completely eliminate the squat but would like to reduce it by 75%.
Answer:
You can actually have airbags installed in between the leafsprings and frame of the vehicle. The air bags come with a small air compressor that is installed underneath the vehicle and inflates and deflates the bags from a control unit inside the vehicle on the dash. It will probably cost about $200-$400 for an airbag kit installed. Firestone actually manufactures the bags which are very durable and will last you a very long time. This will also help to releive some of the pressure the wieght is putting on your leaf springs and rear shocks. It is the best way to go because you can control the height of the rear of your vehicle from inside of the cab of your car. The air shocks that other people talk about require you to physically hook up an airhose when you want air in the shocks and physically let the air out when you don't want the shocks so high..I would not recommend these as they are a pain for someone in your situation where you are constantly changing the rear height of the vehicle. The air shocks were developed for street and drag racing assuming people would only make adjustments during racing, not everyday driving in which the rear load would dictate at what height you want the rear to be. Again, I would stay away from the air adjustable shocks and look into installing airbags, much more efficient and adjustments are made on the fly from the comfort of the cab of the vehicle. Good luck
