What a coincidence!! Went for a trip out on the train with my human Mum, Dad and Hetta to Hebden Bridge. We were walking back through the park and saw a black labrador which was on a free run. The owner of this dog was carrying a Guide Dog harness and told us that her dog was having some fun time. She was similar and buid as myself. A conversation then followed and it turned out that this free running dog was born on the same day as my birthday, her name is Wanda and she is one of my Sisters.

The picture below is of Wanda who is standing up with her owner stooping slightly who has placed her had on Wanda's back.

The owner described her dog as Wanda by name and Wanda by natrue as she loves to run free just like me

Hi

Hope everyone is fit and well now that it looks like some decent weather is trying to show itself and we may all be able to get out a bit more to enjoy ourselves rather than keep trying to dodge the rain.

Been visiting the Yorkshire coast recently and had our picture taken on the promenade at Whitby.

Also we have been actively involved with the Oldham Guide Dogs Fundraising group and yesterday met some lovely people in the afternoon at Tesco in Greenfield and then later on at Alkrington & Providence United Reform Church in Middleton where we were entertained by the Ashton on Mersey Showband. Thanks to everyone who made us feel so welcomed and to the band for such a great evenings enjoyment

The girls used to follow the fishing boats around to gut and clean the fish ready for market

This is a post from the page of "Oldham Active" showing one of our recent visits to the Failsworth Gym where we are always made to feel so welcome by the staff and members attending the site. We generally stay for about an hour whilst "Mum and "Dad" complete their workouts.

Today was my 6th birthday so I was treated to a day out at the seaside. I love swimming and playing in the water and don't like it when it's time to come out.

Love to my Mum Pepper, to my siblings and to all those that helped me to become a working Guide Dog.

This is us together snuggled up together in our caravan. Hetta is the golden retriever/lab to the left with Layla the black lab, to the right of the picure. We are cuddling together in the narrow space between the front seats but we are quite happy and feel safe and secure.

Happy holidays to all our friends

HETTA

I am a Yellow Labrador/Golden Retriever cross and was born on the 26th December 2009

I am now a Retired Guide Dog.

I was puppy walked in Adel, Leeds, West Yorkshire and began training with my current "Mum" Norma Jones on the 9th January 2012. My Guide dog Mobility Instructor was Sue Bennett and I completed my training on the 19th January 2012. I have loved working as a guide dog and my Mum says I was always ready and willing to please.
