Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I would like to wish everyone a very happy christmas and a great new year too. I've been out a lot helping Andy recently and I think I saw a new cuddly dog toy and a doggy stocking being bought !! I hope they are for me :-) guess I'll have to wait and see ......

Andy was really pleased just recently, although he's got a spinal injury he can walk a few steps with crutches but he's really slow and can fall over easily. He hasn't fallen for over 18 months, then the other night we camne in at around 11pm when it was raining, I think Andy's crutches slipped on the kitchen floor because there was a louud crash and when I went into the kitchen he was lying there and because his arms and muscles are so weak he cant get up or move. I have been trained to help him if this happens so Andy asked me to get the phone, which I did and he was able to ring his neighbours to come and help him up ... he had a few bruises but apart from that was ok ......

I Knew I had got it right because I got extra treats at 11.15pm which never normally happens, and lots of praise and hugs too .....

catch up with you in the new year .....

have a good one

Halloween and Fireworks Night

Hi Everyone, personally I'm ok with loud bangs and fireworks which have started already around where I live. I know many of my canine, feline and other friends get very scared at this time of year ....... well hang on in there it'll be over as quick as it started ...... Henry

Updates .. Updates

Hi All, hope all is well with my readers and friends. Autumn is finally here, my favourite time of year ..... its great up the local woods playing in the leaves and the squirrels are easier to see, still haven't been able to catch one though! Visited the Kennel Club in london to represent the charity recently , amazing place lots of posh pictures of dogs on the walls and a whole library related to dogs too!!

got two walks around st james park too, rather large house overlooks the park .. think Andy said a queen lives there? oh well it would be too big for me I get lost at home :)

Hi Everyone

Haven't posted for a while so apologies .... I have been having a great time with lots of great walks. Usually around this time of year its got a lot colder but this recent run of warmer weather has been very much appreciated. Andy finds it difficult to get a jacket on and off but I can help him! Its much quicker to go out for the walk if he doesn't need a coat on though.

The weekend before last Andy held an event in the front garden of the house called 'the dogs breakfast' to raise money for dogs for the disabled. It was a real shame I didn't get to try the breakfast, as it was bacon and sausage rolls. Still, the event was very well attended and raised £1048!

I'm going back to Banbury, where I was trained tomorrow with Andy. I still get really excited going back there, there's lots of friends I get to see again and lots of memories of all my training there when I was younger. I can't wait!!

See you soon .......

Thanks for taking part in the poll

Hi everyone,

hope your bank holiday weekend was good, mine was fun had a swim in a river with a retired police dog friend of mine called 'Klaus' he still looks very fierce as most german shepards do but he's a big teddy bear really. We have great fun playing together.

Thanks for taking part in the poll, suprisingly black labradors are the early favourites, come on the 'yellows'

Please have a look at the new video links to other dogs for the disabled partnerships too
