[nagdu] Elmo is Retiring

[tina thomas]

 Hi Margo- Retiring a dog guide is always hard, however I know you made the
best decision for the both of you. I wish the best of luck with your new
partnership. BTW, I have a friend that will be in your class.

right on, Michael!

Retirement can present a mixed bag, so to speak, but I am excited.  Elmo
will have an adjustment, I'm sure, but he's going to have a wonderful home. 
I've been sending Stephanie and Ken emails about Elmo, his food, what he
likes, commands, medications, what music he likes, what toys he likes, and
they have a file all set up and are studying it daily.  they have luxurious
beds ready for him on each floor and toys all over.  there is a little
granddaughter who is two years old and loves anything to do with Elmo. 
Stephanie says it might take some convincing for her to believe elmo is Elmo
since he's not red like the Sesame Street elmo.  Elmo will be attending
church on sunday and will travel to many interesting places if he wants to
go.  they intend to continue some obedience.  they may find a job for him to
do since he is used to doing osmething.  My former dogs picked up the
newspaper and brought it inside every morning for my Mom.

Margo,


Wow!  You and Elmo are taking a first step on new adventures.  I hope you
both find joy and peace in your decision.  Retirement is always hard, but if
you decide it is the best thing to do then retirement is probably the right
thing for both of you.  You always will have great memories and experiences
with Elmo which will serve you well with your new team mate.

God bless you both.
