Dear Friends

I just love going out and meeting new people but I do get a bit bored waiting about. In the shops I have to sit quietly whilst the shopping is packed.  All I want to do is help!

I had a great time the other day tearing up the cardboard box that used to be my bed. Well, it was getting way too small for me anyhow.

Then I had some more food delivered I was allowed to have the old bag. Yippee! I climbed in and chased round the kitchen biting and licking out the inside.  I don't know why they laughed.  I don't think they feed me enough.

I went to see my friend, Guide puppy Olma.  I am almost the same size as her even though I am three months younger. We had a great time running all over the garden and knocking over the plant pots.  Olma's Dad had put some plastic bottles with beer in the bushes to attract the snails. I love playing with plastic bottles but the beer was best.  Shame about the bushes!

I’ve had my final injection now, so am finally allowed to go for a run in the woods and meet some more friends. So you might be able to see me out more often. 

I am going to the Eversden Recreation Ground Fun day on 5th July with some Guide Dogs goodies to sell. I hope to see you there.

You'll be able to recognise me as Tony says I've got legs like stilts!
