Goodbye

Dear friends,

I appreciated it that many of you came round to say goodbye and wish me luck as I go onto the next stage of my life time adventure; I didn't know that I had so many good friends. I thought I would post a picture of one of you, I hope you do not mind, I didn't get your approval first.As those who came to see me will know I previewed my next lodgings yesterday, not bad, plenty of good activities. My only worry is that I will not be the only centre of attention!I will keep you updated on my progress and hope to see you sometime.

Lots of love and wet kisses.

PS. If you are worried about where to send my Christmas presents; I will find out and let you know. I'm sure you can all remember what a Labrador likes?

PPS. I am sorry for all the things I stole, destroyed and buried etc, I am a puppy and only wanted to have fun. I did enjoy it though.

Grown up me

I'd thought it was about time that you saw some photos of me grown up. Yes I am ready to go on boarding school. I hope I end up in London, it is always exciting there. I will miss all my friends though; thank you all for entertaining and feeding me. I have really enjoyed being a puppy.

I have added a picture of me in my smart coat, I have to behave myself when I am wearing this. I have also included a picture of me enjoying playing in the leaves this autumn and one of me with my friend Tavi, we had an amazing time together. Well it was until Tavi eventually got fed up with me taking her toys and chews. I believe we should share everything including food. I am very happy to share my food, I certainly try and share everyone else's.

My current parents read in a book recently that stated that labradors have an eating disorder; 'They are always hungry.' I think this is correct, but it is not a disorder it is just natural.

I have now added some pictures of when I was young. You will that I got up to all sort of tricks and fun. You will see me during my first Christmas and up my first big hill, it certainly was windy up in the Malverns, I'm glad Mum and Dad recovered their glasses I was too young to be a real guide dog. My bed looks a bit cheap, I'm sure they could have done better than a cardboard box. I did look good at my first Guide dog get together with Mum and Rachel, I will not tell you what happened to me there though! You will see also my visit to see Grandad, I think he enjoyed seeing me.
