[nagdu] When It's Time to Research Successor's Schools?

[Debby Phillips]

Well, you can always begin researching schools now.  That doesn't 
mean you have to do anything about what you find.  If you find a 
school that you like dough, you could ask to get their newsletter 
if then have one, and look on their website, etc.  You know, they 
say at theeeing Eye to try to apply for your next dog in advance 
if you can so you don't end up with a huge wait time.  So perhaps 
as Hera begins to slow down, you could start looking in to the 
application process.  There's never, as far as I'm concerned, an 
ideal time to retire a dog.  I always wish that mine could go on 
forever.  But they don't.  Anyway, that's kind of my suggestion.  
I'm sure others have lots of great ideas, too.    Debby and Nova
