Soooooo Hot.

Posted by Elizabeth Lamb on Thursday, July 24, 2014, In : Crystal new GD pup 
It has been so hot recently, not that I am complaining, although I hate the mugginess, and I often go out looking like I had just got out of bed, as my hair seems to take on a mind of its own haha, but the poor old doggies dislike it as well, and will often be found flat out in a flower bed, flattening all the flowers, but with a 'Phew, this is so cool' look on their chops..
We try to take them out early,and  to do any training with Crystal, laden with water, bowl, spray bottle and wet wipes,...

News of Flora.

Posted by Elizabeth Lamb on Tuesday, June 17, 2014, In : News of Flora 
We recently had some news of Flora. She went off to 'Big School' and was doing very well, but after a while her trainer Richard, noticed that she was turning to him more for encouragement when going on to the busy London buses and trains. He let us know  how she was going and what they had tried to give her more confidence, but as the weeks went on, she started to get more stressed about leading into a situation and after talking, they decided it was not in her best interest to continue as it...

Crystal - Growing Pains

Posted by Elizabeth Lamb on Wednesday, March 5, 2014, In : Crystal new GD pup 
Crystal is just 5 months old now, and growing in confidence as well as leg length. Poor Rosie is getting very fed up with
telling her off for being too rough with her, so there has been lots of 'time out' sessions for Crystal, so Rosie can get some peace.
They curl up together to sleep and she looks like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. Little angel. haha
Cuddling up to her Dad, one of her favourite places.
She is doing really well on her recalls, especially with other dogs, and at the moment

New Baby.

Posted by Elizabeth Lamb on Tuesday, December 17, 2013, In : Crystal new GD pup 
We have lost Flora, she has gone onto Big School. She is settled in and we have received a couple of phone calls from her new trainer Richard, reassuring us. It is hard when they leave home  :((  We have now got our next bundle of trouble, a little yellow Labrador / G.Retriever  cross. called Crystal.  who took to Flora straight away, and decided she was obviously her surrogate Mum. She had 4 days of fun with her before she left us.
The first photo of Crystal looks like butter wouldn't melt i...

FLORA'S OPERATION.

Posted by Elizabeth Lamb on Thursday, November 14, 2013, In : Guide dog, puppy walking 
Flora has been to stay at the vetinary clinic for the day and been spayed. This is just to make sure she will not be having pups in the future. I expected a peaceful evening when I picked her up, thinking she may be a little under the weather after having an anaesthetic with her op. but Noooooo. she dragged the poor nurse across the clinic to greet me, trying to jump and play with an unsuspecting dog waiting to see the vet.  hahaha oh dear.
              Here is a photo of her with her daisy ...

News of Zola

Posted by Elizabeth Lamb on Saturday, August 3, 2013, In : News of Zola 
I have just received some photographs from Holland, showing Zola with her new family and the lady she is paired with. I spent the whole afternoon in tears. I know, it is silly, she is doing a great job, and I am immensely proud of her, but there you go, silly me.  She has made a great difference to the lady, and is doing very well.

Flora and Rosie

Posted by Elizabeth Lamb on Friday, March 8, 2013, In : Guide dog, puppy walking 
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...

New Puppy.

Posted by Elizabeth Lamb on Thursday, January 17, 2013, In : Guide dog, puppy walking 
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 ...
