> Hello, all.  Please pray for me and my guide dog Lear.  over the past few

> noticed a lot of weight loss and just a general change in Lear.  His guide
> work is still careful, but he has less endurance than he used to and can't
> really do long routs without frequent stops.  The vet tested his thyroid
> adn
> said it's low normal and probably doesn't account for all the changes in
> him.

> The bottom line is that I'm thinking about retirement.  I need to call the
> school with a couple questions today, so I will see if a rep can visit
> sometime in the next couple months to talk about this further.

> In addition to praying, can some of you with dogs tell me how you knew

> to retire your dog?  I'm new to this, as Lear is my first dog.

> Thanks for your help and support.
