Hi Bibi,

I had no problem retiring and keeping  13 year old Ariel. No one 
asked me to send her back to Pilot.

>That would really devistate Odie deeply and he would feel sad, 
>depressed, abandoned and unwanted.
>He's always been an important member of the family who has lots of 
>love to give and definitely makes my husband Dale and I laugh 
>especially when he decides to do funny things.
>Back when he was my guide dog, Odie was still considered my kid and 
>member of the family again.
>Yes, he'd try to bate people into petting him and it also happens 
>when he's wearing his medical alert service dog vest.
