To all those people who think that a guide dog's life is nothing but work, then think again. Here is a photo of me Layla,, a black labrador working guide dog at playtime with my frisbee

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
Picture shows Layla (black labrador working guide dog wearing her harness) in the centre of the photo laying down and Hetta (golden labrador/retriever retired guide dog) to her right in a sitting position both in the foreground with a modern sculpture showing the 2 Fish Girls to the left at a table working with the catch with another sculpture in the background of another fish girl standing behind a large barrel. 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

Our story
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.
LAYLA
I am a Black Labrador and was born on the 17th August 2017.
I am a working Guide Dog.
I was puppy walked in Brahhall, Cheshire and began training with my current "Mum" on the 8th July 2019. My Guide dog Mobility Instructor was Charlotte and I completed my training on the 7th August 2019. I now love working as a guide dog and just like Hetta, I am always ready and willing to please.
Please if you see me or any other Retired or working Guide Dog or Guide Dog Puppy in “working mode” ie we are wearing our harnesses, or Guide Dog Puppy coats, please do not attempt to distract us and always ask the person whom we are with if it is alright to approach us. Sudden approaches to us when we are working or being trained can seriously startle us and can set us back.
