Been lurking in this thread for a few years now.
Our last dog passed in 2020 and we said we would never have another - or not for a very long time.
Buuuuut..... we have been accepted onto the Guide Dog program and we are expecting a puppy in the next few weeks.
Excited to say the least but we are also quite nervous as we know we are setting the foundations for the future training to become a fully qualified guide dog.
Everyone we have dealt with so far has been super helpful. Its a waiting game now!

Ella 13 years on with the same teddy we bought the day we got her.
Sadly she has started going downhill lately, her hearing and eyesight are deteriorating to the point she jumps when we approach her suddenly, she struggles to get on the sofa for a cuddle and has dementia moments where she will come out into the garden then forget why and turn around and go back inside behind the sofa.
She s still eating and toileting and loves her short walks now, but we know the time is coming to do the right thing so I wanted to put her on here for the sake of it.
Our Collie cross is 15 and is a similar state.Sadly she has started going downhill lately, her hearing and eyesight are deteriorating to the point she jumps when we approach her suddenly, she struggles to get on the sofa for a cuddle and has dementia moments where she will come out into the garden then forget why and turn around and go back inside behind the sofa.

For the dementia we are giving her CBD oil. No idea if it helps but we would do anything to make things easier for her.
This is her being minded by Yale, a retired guide dog, soon after we got her in 2012. She was about a year old.
And a few weeks ago

We now live in Ireland and have the lovely Meeko who was a failed Guide Dog.
He is now nearly eight and is a therapy dog at the local.old people’s home and an ambassador dog for guide dogs.
We volunteer for Guide Dogs Ireland,attending fundraisers and occasionally fostering.
We have also had 7 weeks old puppies for socialising.
The best looking was Varley, below, now a working guide dog

Late evening walks due to heat have given some of our usual haunts a very different feel... and the deer looked as freaked out as we were (I was he didn't seem to care)

Loving the Seth stance pose pics. Just fabulous. He does it in his stride. Sometimes he’s up, posed and ready to be off before I’ve even got my phone or camera open! As he did in the oic below - had to ask him to ‘up’ again so I could capture it.
Another day another coastline and beach walk
