We had a really great time on Sunday, with other Hearing Dogs and their humans, as well as pet dogs and their humans. 
30 people joined us to take part in various walks round Ightham Mote. We went on the short walk with my friend Tessa and her Mum.
We were also accompanied by Polly Evans, she talks on the TV (I thought I recognised her!). Mum said it’s a news programme she is on called BBC South East News. She is such a lovely person! And she walks faster than Mum!! lol! (As you will see in one of the photos!) 
She came and said hello to me before the walks started, she liked me (of course!) and said how soft my fur is. (Everyone always says that!! ) She also said hello to the other Hearing Dogs there, including Echo and Tessa my two special friends.
It was organised by Aunty Sue, who works for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and tries to think of interesting ways to raise money. She works really hard, and we were pleased it turned out to be such lovely weather for her. She was helped by Uncle Brian and Aunty Margaret.
We hope there will be another walk like this, and hope even more people and dogs will come. The more there are, the more fun it is.
After the walks were finished we sat with Tessa and her Mum and had a break, Tessa and I enjoyed half a bonio each from Aunty Margaret. Then Mum said that as we were already there we may as well looked round the house and gardens. (Mum, sis and I are members of the National Trust). Tessa and I, and other Hearing Dogs, are so lucky. We get to go to so many interesting places with our humans, because we are registered assistance dogs. http://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/ All the National Trust people were so very nice! Tessa and I made lots and lots of new friends, including people who were visiting like us. One lady said how cute we were, and how nice to see that we are all different shapes and sizes.
I hope you like the photos Sis took on the day.

My special friend, Echo. (She's been attacked by big pet dogs twice in recent months..:( Mum says some people with pet dogs need to be more aware of what their own dogs will do.)
The lovely Tessa.
Me, sussing out new accomodation. Don't know where Mum would sleep though!!
The dog house was built in 1890 for a St Bernard named, Dido… I guess they must have been a little bigger than moi!! http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-ighthammote/
Thank you again, Aunty Polly, we can’t wait to see you again!
Have a nice rest of the week. xx
