I'm not the only one who's dog crazy. Margaret loves dogs and she has had today marked off on her calendar for some time. Today we were off to visit the Guide Dogs headquarters. Today was the opening of a memorial garden at the Bald Hills centre, a space to remember those who have requested money in their wills and dogs who have given their service. As someone who has donated to the Guide Dogs Margaret was invited and the promise was THERE WOULD BE PUPPIES. Who could turn down an invitation like that? Not us, that's for sure. So off we went. It was a beautiful day and not only was there the puppies as promised but also a chance to reconnect with Hilde. We me Hilde when the original donation was made. She took a shining to Margaret, resting her head on her foot. And today, she did it again. Margaret was thrilled. She beamed like a Cheshire Cat (perhaps not the best word to use in a dog training centre). Sometimes when you are really looking forward to something it an never live up to expectations. That wasn't today. It was everything she's hoped for and more.
