Growing up

June 20, 2013
Flora is getting so big, but is still a bit of an air-head. Lol, She absolutely loves everybody, which can be a bit of a problem, trying to keep her attention from the little person walking towards her wanting to love her, or the dog, that she desperately wants to play with.
When she is having her free run, and sees another dog, she will race to it and arrive on her belly,  the roll over, and as she is so big, she can be a bit disconcerting to somebody who is unsure of other dogs, or even a little dog, but so far apart from a couple of fractious dogs, everyone has accepting her in good heart.

We were in our small shopping area last week, and a young couple were coming towards us, with a little girl, who raced towards Flora, and I was caught off guard, and wasn't sure, if Flora may knock her over, in her excitement, but instead, she sat her bum down, and apart from the tail thumping on the ground, she controlled herself while being petted, long enough for the Mum to come and retrieve the child. I was so proud of her, she is occasionally acting all grown up.


She has had to have a new jacket, as the other one was starting to look like a 'boob tube' on her, which isn't really a good look on anyone. Lol.

 

Flora and Rosie

March 8, 2013
Flora has been out and about now with her new jacket on, People tend to notice it more than the flash on her lead, so are more aware and tend not to rush up to pet her. She looks very posh and struts down the road.
This week Flora  went on the bus for the first time. I did expect her to be a bit concerned about all the rattling but she took no notice and took it all in her stride, even when we got off and the air brakes went. We had a lovely run when we got off, met lots of other dogs, and go...

More Walking and Free Runs

February 12, 2013
Flora is now 4months old and growing rapidly, when she is laying down, she looks all legs, like a young foal, Lol..  She has been going for 'free runs' now and absolutely loves the beach, which at the moment is the only place I am able to take her, as everywhere else is so muddy and slippery. She races around like a clown, all legs and gangly. She meets lots of dogs, and needless to say, it is the males who love her. She is a right little flirt.
Her recall from them, when we are walking away,...

Growing

January 24, 2013
I am sure we are visited by the 'growth fairy' each night, as she seems to grow overnight. Flora has reached that gangly stage, where she looks like she is never fed, I am increasing her food, it seems, every other day, although I have to be careful not to 'up' her food too much as it will upset her tummy,
She is now going out on the lead, and at the moment I am losing in the battle to keep her attention, as she is interested in everything, and doesn't seem to be worried by the big bus trundl...

New Puppy Flora

January 17, 2013
Flora our new guide dog pup is a Golden Retriever, and a most beautiful shade of blondie red. We knew we had her the moment she was left by our PWS (puppr walking supervisor).
Zola took the brunt of her playfullness during the day, but at night she was a little monkey, we understood that she had left her litter and things were all different, but my word, I have never heard such noise coming from such a little thing. Even though Zola and Rosie (cocker spaniel) were in the kitchen alongside her...

New Puppy.

January 17, 2013
Just before Christmas 2012, our lovely Black Lab Zola, at 14 months left us to go on to her further training. She was then chosen to go on an exchange to the Netherlands. The news so far, is that she has settled in and is doing really well.
        
                                                                                                                                                                                     
We all miss her desperately, but 10 days before she left we took ...
