thanks, Liz.
Elmo can work now but in time his health issues will make that difficult so
I want him to enjoy his retirement rather than wait until he's ill and can't
enjoy it.
he'll be retiring the day I go to class. I am not the type of person who
can wait for a dog; I've always gone into class very soon after retiring my
dogs.
As far as elmo going to a family rather than keeping him, in my case, it's
best and this family is so wonderful that I don't have qualms about him
being there.
