Firstly Mum wants to tell you about this animal rescue site, it has all sorts of animals on there who need new homes. 
If you need a new friend take a look. http://www.rescuedb.com/Home/Homepage.php
We had a lovely day when we went to the Paws in the Park event in Detling recently. The weather was a bit “iffy” (Mum says that means it wasn’t sunny, and it wasnt wet….. ) We met up with our friends Brian and his wife Maggie, at their Hearing Dogs for Deaf People stall. We hang out with them most of the time. They don’t have a hearing dog, but are passionate about the work we do for our humans so have worked at fundraising for many years.
We occasionally went and had a look at other stalls, Mum likes to give little donations to other assistance dog charity stalls too. We bumped into our friend Tina, and her assistance dog Arkadash (which is Turkish for “Friend”). Arkadash was trained by the charity Support Dogs, and he helps by opening doors, and handing over Tina’s purse to buy things and other things. Really clever. When he was younger he used to get a bit barky when he saw me around, but now we are great friends and I can see he has worked hard to turn into a great assistance dog. We just sniff each others nose, and settle down while our Mum’s chat.
While at the event Mum found an artist to draw me. We’re waiting and excited to see how it turns out…….. Mum has been on the look out at doggy events ever since she and I were paired, for an artist. But this is the first one who’s work she has really liked. He is ‘doing me’ in colour pencils, he said they would be best for my colouring and texture. He also said I was very pretty…. and “no” I don’t think he said it just because he wants the business!! We saw him working in pencil on some pictures while we were there, and we were both very impressed. So, can’t wait!! Watch this space as they say!
We hope you enjoy this extra bit of lovely weather we are having at the moment.
