Tevya left front from 4-07 to 6-08

Meet Tevya! I began trimming in May of '07 and was presented with the
first films. After a year his toes still appeared too long and I requested
films to gauge sole depth before shortening the heels and toe. The
"double sole" is visible but so is the remarkable decrease in rotation!
