[nagdu] retirement

[Marsha Drenth]

Hannah, 


Awwww I am very very sorry to hear about this. Its so hard to retire your parnter at any point. Espically during your semester. I have been there done that, not sure i want to do that again. 

I am learning as a university student myself it takes a very very special pup to be able to put up with university life. My university also has many of the same challenges as yours. Squirrels, bikers, skateboarders, thousands of students, cars, trucks, subway, train, birds, and more. The pup so far is doing great, emma could not. 

I wish you luck. Will you keep Princess as a pet? And will you get another guide? Just curious.
