    Congratulations! I met a guy on the bus who'd only just got his dog a few days before & she'd already settled in. He said he was so pleased with the way they match dogs and owners. Saw him again back in the Summer and there were three of them, all with their dogs, going on a grand day out.

    Brilliant - really pleased for you, as the sheer fun you'll have together just defies description.
    As for all the new friends crooning over dog? Swings and roundabouts.

    That's wonderful news Nanny, I know you were originally a little worried about getting a guide dog but you'll both have a lot of fun - I hope. Keep us updated please.
