Not much to report in Waggatail diary today my friends,
after her great triumph on Friday. She has seen snow I think for the first time
in her life, as last year we did not have any and she was not born the year
before.
She sniffs it as though she is looking for the best prize
ever.
The sound of her doing
that is so funny, so quick, are her little snuffles.
I have been making snow balls and throwing them for her and
Long Chops. I love the sound of their footsteps as they run up the garden.
I would love a photograph taking of the three musketeers,
but sadly they have not invented a camera that takes good picks of anything
yet, for blind people.
But what a lovely picture that would make for the wall,
three black dogs, in the white snow?
I have asked teen to take a picture, but that involves
effort. So no picture/photograph.
Little Waggatail, still will not answer to her name. To be
honest, this is a real problem. When I first got her, I thought, well, I will
let her off, but now? It is a nightmare. When she is out in the garden, she
will not come back and God help me if I take
her on a free run?
Hub says he has never
known a guide dog not take notice of her/his name. He has had a few, too!
Guide dogs, that is, not drinks? Ha.
I have noticed though that the lovely GDI, tuts and makes
other odd sounds as she is training with her. Oh it drives me crazy. But Waggatail
is getting better, as she kindly allowed
us to sleep in today for the first time in the two weeks I have had her.
Well I am going to brush her now in the back garden. Not
looking forward to that as the snow is still out there, waiting for my fingers,
to gnaw on.
A day off training
tomorrow and on Tuesday, we are hitting the public transport, so watch out,
Fifi and Waggatail about.
