[nagdu] Elmo is Retiring

[lindagwizdak at peoplepc.com]

Hi Margo,
I'd bring a variety of clothes for different weather.  April in the 
Northeast can be rather iffy - transitional from winter to spring.  It has 
been known to even snow in April!

Expect rainy cool weather as well as warm sunny weather.  And anything in 
between.

I was in a May class and we had a variety of weather - including a small 
tornado was spotted nearby the campus. A tree fell on a kennel under 
construction on the campus.  For clothes I brought slacks, short-sleeve 
tops, plenty of socks and comfortable shoes. I brought some sweatshirts to 
layer up if needed. Bring a hat to cover your ears because there can be some 
pretty stiff, cold winds in Morristown. Springtime can be quite rainy as 
well.  So, be sure to bring good raingear as you will work in the pouring 
rain as well.

Hope this helps - Spring and Fall are hard seasons to plan for because you 
can get any kind of weather and you need to be prepared for it.  I think 
Seeing Eye still has a closet full of jackets and stuff for the people who 
are caught without proper clothing!

Regards and have fun,

Linda and Landon

>> Hi Margo.
>> I'm sorry to hear Elmo is retiring, but I'm sure he will enjoy himself.
>> It's great you found a good home for him, if you can't keep him yourself.
>> Echo has been retired almost 3 years now.  At first, she wanted to come
>> with me when I got out the harness, but now she enjoys sleeping in, and
>> taking walks where she is free to sniff as much as she likes.  And my
>> husband occasionally sneaks her a nibble from his dinner, which, since
>> she's retired, I don't object to so much. So, while it's hard, it's nice
>> to retire a dog who's healthy and able to enjoy a nice retirement of 
>> being
>> a dawg.
>> Hope all goes well in class.  The end of April might be the nicest time
