Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Ewww it's such a lovely day out there, can feel a spot of digging coming on! 
Spring is definitely in the air; I took this photo only a couple of days ago.

Well done Dilli, I know that the Guide Dog Association take the placing of their dogs very seriously so to have passed their home visit is a thumbs-up to the type of person we know you to be. 
Did they give you any indication of how long it will be before a suitable dog will be ready for you to do your training and have they said what breed of dog you are going to need?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
It's looking likely to be four or five months 'till I get the dog at the earliest.
They didn't specify a breed but said the dog would match me and my walking style

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
You are lucky to have a nice spring day, as we have heavy snow again, & it is very cold. Good day for a big pot of homemade soup. I have just made mine.

I always imagine guide dogs to be golden labradors - but the temperament and training is paramount I would think - oh and for the dog too
