[nagdu] Question About retirement

[Marsha Drenth]

Sara, 

Or people may be getting a second guide, some dogs are okay with this, some are not okay with a new guide. Some people can't afford to take care of two dogs. Some people, like myself, are not a two dog family. The retired dogs, deserve to live in the lap of luxury, they deserve to be pampered, they deserve to have fun, to be a normal dog, with normal dog behaviors. 

There are lots of things that go into why a handler gives a guide to another family.
