[NAGDU] Class date

[Bonnie Mosen]

Hi Tracy,
Congratulations on your class date.
I have been in two winter classes--the last being February of 2019, and I
lived in Morristown for ten years.
I was lucky in my last class we didn't get too much snow.
I would definitely get some Yaktracks to wear on shoes or boots. They are
great on the ice. 
Best of luck
Bonnie and Eclipse

I'll be in class at The Seeing Eye starting January 3.  

For a while yesterday, Krokus was great and I was thinking "Gee, what am I
doing!"  Then he got up to all his tricks, and I knew again it's time for
him to live the life of leisure and me to move on.  He still has good
energy, for a while, and he'll miss going out with me, until he sees that
instead he gets to go on lovely sniffy walks with my husband, where he can
sniff everything, pee whenever he likes, and stop to visit people and dogs.

I've never been to a winter class, so I'm making lists of the extra stuff I
have to bring, like my boots and extra socks for when things get wet.  

The Covid protocols sound like a pain, wearing a mask everywhere except in
my room, but that's the way it is.  And no volunteers to run to the store
and pick up stuff, so any snacks or drinks I'll want I have to bring enough
for the whole time.  Though I'm hoping maybe we can go into a grocery store
some time in training.  Good practice.

By wild chance, anyone else in my class?  Or anyone have advice about winter
classes, besides the obvious of having plenty of warm clothes?  I'll have to
get out the longjohns.

Tracy
