a mentor for our science experiment.

I'm listening at both sides, then also while I was listening I got a heart rate too on her.

(Madeleine) I've been going once a month on Thursday after school, and if I get my homework done and I don't have other activities, to go and shadow her.

Madeleine, I have a little surprise for you.

Oh my gosh!

We have some very hungry kittens, they're about 4-1/2 to 5 weeks old.

We are going to be feeding them.

(Izzie) Kitties!

(Madeleine) I get to go in the room, and I just sit back and watch.

(Izzie) Hey little kitty.

I'm gonna pick up you, you're the runt, I like runts.

[the kitty meows] Sometimes they're puppies, and sometimes they're kittens that sometimes are sick, and she knows a bunch about animals.

So this is probably when I was about your age, and I did used to show Western Pleasure.

(Madeleine) I kind of took a little break and now I'm starting to ride again, and my friends and I are going to pick out a horse like, scientifically.

So we do a couple experiments, and then we're going to pick out the smoothest horse for me to ride in the show.

Oh!

You should see Liz over at the University of Minnesota equine center.

(Madeleine) If we have a question, she's going to help us, and she'll be really great with answering them because she has a horse of her own, and she's a vet.

(Morgan) I'm so excited about this.
