Rosie � my working guide dog
Unity � my first guide dog 30/10/2010-21/01/2022
This is the page following the journey of one incredible Guide Dogs Rosie.
It is also the page where I’ll be sharing memories and photos in loving memory of Unity.
Tulips and windmills were the theme of today.
My family and I visited in Crawley and I was rather taken with all of the bright colours, delicious smells and the amount of other four legged friends I made.
Mum posed for lots of photographs and encouraged me to as well.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in London.
As a London Guide dog I love seeing my city all lit up for Christmas. The wonderful smells of festive foods that linger in the air wherever you go and lots of happy people, having fun.
Are ready for Christmas?

Mum says that this is my scobby doo face. I don’t see the resemblance.

Best friends, forever 🐾

She is wearing a pale blue collar with bow and you can just about see her official yellow reflective guide dog harness at the bottom of the shot. She is on the beach, looking out to sea and in the background you can see a ice-cream hut.
I enjoyed a very nice long free run at Whitstable beach earlier this week with my mum and auntie Stef.
I had lots of fun playing in the water, although I wasn’t happy because Mum decided to put me back on the lead when she thought I might try to snack on peoples chips.

I think I kinda fit in well here.
Just hanging with my friends…

Mum was invited to experience the Kings Coronation Afternoon Tea today at the
It was very nice. Although I didn’t get to sample the afternoon tea myself ☹️
I meet lots of other dogs in London and had loads of fun.

I’m off to a wedding today with Mum.

Girls trip in Norwich
I’m on a little trip away with the two human girls in my life in Norwich.
There are lots of cobbled streets and winding roads around here.
Mum keeps saying that there’s a lot of churches in this area whatever they are supposed to be.
I would also like to submit a complaint to Guide Dogs about the job they have assigned for me.
I’m finding that my job consists of having to stare at my humans eating delicious food while I am relegated to carrot sticks and kibble.
Tomorrow I am making it my mission to hunt down a pet shop of some description and not budging until my human buys me at least one toy and several bags of treats as recompense for the torture she has put me through today.
I kid you not, they had a three tiered stand of delicious, looking treats from something called an “afternoon tea.”
The only good thing is that the hotel has given me a comfy bed to sleep on.
Tuning tomorrow to find out how many treats and toys. Rosie managed to wangle from the humans.

This was Rosie as a puppy and oh good heavens wasn't she cute! 🥰
Do you have any photos of your guide dogs as puppy or just your pet dogs?

On Wednesday this week me and my human attended an event at Parliament.
The event was to talk about all the times that me and my human have been refused access to places because I’m a guide dog.
It’s part of a campaign that we were part of called
I hope that some of the humans that we spoke to take up what we said and help to make more political changes so it doesn’t keep happening to me and my human.
Naughty girl
Ghoulish Fun 👻
We wish you a very happy Halloween weekend!
Lots of love

My human got invited to a party the other night and naturally I went too.
Yes I know guide dogs aren’t supposed to get on beds. But my human asked me to for a picture because of this special prop bed they had at the party.
Any complaints need to be raised with the human department.

Me and Mum (Fashioneyesta) and Unity have been featured in this years Inside track magazine for Guide Dogs UK
What a honour it is to get to share our journey so far and to celebrate the the wonderful partnership and life of unity my predecessor and partner in crime.

Images show me, Rosie a black Labrador retriever x lying down on a picnic blanket in front of a teepee. I am wearing a yellow collar with bow on it and am looking directly at the camera. Either side of me are so wicker hampers with some strawberries and champagne on them. To the right of the image is a copy of the magazine with mum and me on the front.
The second image is a close up shot of the magazine with mum and I on the cover. We are standing in Covent Garden in front of a flower barrow with Union Jack bunting hanging in the back ground. Mum is wearing a white dress with red hearts on it and her long red hair is worn loose in a curl around her shoulders.
Honestly, Rosie is such a beautiful dog both inside and out.
She is, like the flowers you see behind her wild and free.
I love her caring and truly affectionate nature. But I also love her resilience and willingness to always try new things.
She has so much zest for life and never fails to make me laugh daily.
She is a wonderful guide dog with a truly attentive side.
But she is also rightly nicknamed “Wild Rose” and I wouldn’t change her for the world.
Rosie very kindly got sent a cloud blanket from the lovely people at .co
She absolutely loves it and has not got off of it this morning.
It’s a thicker more cushion blanket, designed to take out and about when you’re on the go.
It comes in different designs and his machine washable.
It’s great if you are a guide dog owner like me because it acts like a vet bed but it’s easier to fold up and take with you when you’re out.

Rosie here!
Me and my human recently took part in a video for Guide Dogs to promote their new app which makes it easier for you humans with opposable thumbs to report access refusals.
Apparently that’s when places don’t want to let us dogs in even though we are working dogs.
The app is available on iOS and android devices… I don’t know what that means but my human said you humans well. 
Rosie enjoyed a lovely free run in a new woods that she has never visited before until today.
We went to find bluebells on a trip to Chilham in Kent and we stopped by Kings Wood.
She had fun playing in amongst all of the undergrowth and finding lots of massive sticks to play with just like her sister Unity used to do.
Rosie is currently residing on the sofa taking up all the room as she sleeps lying on her back with her tongue poking out.
Happy
to all of the amazing guide dogs out there.
this post is showing appreciation to my two beautiful girls.
Unity 💛 my first guide dog who will forever be in my heart.
Rosie 🖤 my second Guide Dogs who is taking me on the journey that I’m on now.
They are both the loves of my life.
Thank you for giving them to me.
I miss our sits together Unity.
Where we would sit together and watch the world go by.
You were so content to simply be there, enjoying the Sun and feel the grass on your paws.
The simple pleasures really made you so happy.
Rosie is such a beautiful dog. She loves the camera and really does know how to pose.
In my heart’s a memory
and there you’ll always be
At this time of year I always think of Unity the most.
She loved the spring mornings. I’d often find her sat on the decking enjoying the morning sunshine and gazing out over her little world that was her garden.
This photo was taken during the first lockdown and honestly Unity was my sanity during that time.
It was incredibly difficult on me mentally as it was for many.
But she was the steady constant that kept me going.
The other morning I went out into the garden and found some of her fur that had been snaked on a bush.
It really made me feel she was trying to tell me she was there. Whenever I used to go out and tend to the garden she would sit by me and keep me company for hours on end until I came in.
I never knew just how much would miss her. But as more time is passing I’m remembering more things and her absence is making my heart ache with a weight of wanting her.

She is one of the few specially trained dogs that can use them and only TFL escalators.
Rosie is honestly such a nosey girl.
She decided she’s jump up, put her paws on the ledge to get a better view of the River Thames!
She amply named Nosey Rosie!
Never one to miss out!
