Friends

Our morning walk takes us past the home of Zelda the guide dog and even if we're on the other side of the road Mortimer insists on going over to see if she is in. He gets very excited if she is as she always comes up to say hello. He doesn't mind if we don't stay, it's just good to have a quick morning exchange.

Is she in today?

Yey! She's home.

Good luck Bennett

Sadly we recently had to say good bye to Bennett who has gone to the Guide Dog Association to complete his training. David and Patricia have had 25 guide dog puppies in total, doing basic training before they complete training at Guide Dog HQ. Bennett is being sponsored by Bennett Homes, this I think is their third sponsorship. I have to confess that secretly I was hoping that Bennett wouldn't make the grade because I could have snaffled him up! He's such a nice dog and would have been a perfect companion for Mortimer.

The first time Mortimer met Bennett he was terrified, I don't think he was sure what it was.

Just a few weeks old

But once he was out and about he realised that Bennett just loved to play. The following are just a few of the many photographs we took of him over the last few months.

Cooling off in the grass

Will I be as big as you?

Nothing like a good roll

Best of friends

Handsome

Patricia and David are waiting for their next puppy, let's hope he's as gorgeous as Bennett.
