[NAGDU] excitement about class, dreading retirement, was Re: video in training

Sun Oct 21 05:12:06 UTC 2018

Hi Keri!
i admire you for juggling so many things including retiring Sadie, letting
friends at work tell her goodbye and preparing for class.
I know it will be a wonderful experience. It will be emotional at times,
but I know that you can handle it.
I'm looking forward to hearing all about your adventures and to seeing you
and your new dog at our state convention in Fort Worth! Don't let yourself
get stressed out, as that is easy to do.
Best to you and to your upcoming adventures!
Liz
p.s. I know this sounds strange, but when I read about people going in to
class, I often think about how much I enjoyed my time at TSE and wish in
some ways that I was back in class.
Don't get me wrong, I love my dog dearly, but it is such an energizing
experience to be in an environment where all that I have to do is focus on
my dog and concentrate on the training.
