[nagdu] just when you think you've heard it all

[Tracy Carcione]

I like to tell people that Ben is retiring with a full pension, room and 
board, and full medical coverage.  Such a deal!  Wish I was getting such a 
good retirement package.
People are so relieved when I tell them Ben will be staying with us after 
his retirement.  Have they all heard that old guide dogs have to go away 
somewhere?
