Yesterday after eight and a half years of being at my side, Samson, my @guidedogs handed in his harness and retired.
I could go on and on and on about all the amazing times we have had and the amazing boy he is.
But I shall try to keep it short.
#NewProfilePic #GuideDog number 2, Wren. Sammy boy will always hold the most special place in my heart but it’s time for this girl to shine.
Because of Brexit it looks like guide dog puppies won’t be able to do vital early training in N. Ireland. Pls sign & share to get the government to look into how guide dogs can continue to do their work for EVERY potential guide dog owner across the WHOLE of the UK

“Sorry, I was on mute!” Zoom, Skype, google hangout, FaceTime... we’ve all heard it when using it for work or socialising. It would be amazing if when you find yourself saying it, you donated a couple of £ to support @guidedogs work 😁 justgiving.com/fundraising/s…
What do you need most? What drop off points do you have in SE9? Or do you accept deliveries? If yes, when is best and where should I send to?
And my final also @Royal_Greenwich who do I report overhanging trees and bushes (at face level) as I don’t really fancy fighting nature before 9am everyday!
Thank you!
Also @Royal_Greenwich who do I report a dumped mattress to? As I don’t fancy going arse over tit every time I pass it (and according to the nice man that helped me up it’s been there for at least 3-4 weeks)
Day four of being a long cane user and the saying that a cane is an object finder and a guide dog is an object avoider is being rammed home...! On that note @Royal_Greenwich who do I report dumped household rubbish to? As I don’t really want to bring anymore rubbish into my home!

Because now I have a new chapter in store. Life as a long cane user, it won’t be the same and 8 years ago I wouldn’t have considered it... but this I think is Samson last and long lasting gift to me....
