I love dogs, the are the most loving animals, they work with us and for us. The most important thing is they give us unconditional love.
Our Dog Ruby is a retired guide dog, we have taken her for her free run exercise time since she started working at eighteen months, when she retired she came to live with us.
Below is a poem I wrote about a young friend of mine Natalie, she a real hero. She has a partner and two beautiful and clever children. Ruby and I have the privilege of joining her and Quala, her guide dog on Qula’s Free exercise walks.
I wrote this double Etheree about her and Quala last year .
Blind Faith
Trust
Is all
I ask for.
Never will I
Complain. I will learn.
Eighteen months training.
I always do my best
To help you at play and rest.
I am part of the family
Life without out me is a memory.
I’m your guide dog to help and set you free.

Trust
In her
I put my
Faith. She helps me.
Blind, I cannot see
Her presence sets me free.
She is with me everyday
We walk the children to the school.
You help me work and play, my best friend.
Quala and me together to the end .
