Dear readers of willowdot21
I thought I had better introduce myself to you all. I am Ruby and I am a six year old Blonde Labrador . I was a guide dog and willow’s husband, my new daddy, has been taking me for play walkies for three and a half years!
My owner who is blind has got a bad back and neck which has got worse and I can no longer mange her. Actually it has been nearly a year since I have had to work properly. So the
Guide Dogs for the blind who owned me decided I was no longer able to stay with my blind owner.
First of all I was going to be retrained to be a
buddy dog helping young blind children to get used to dogs like me ( I am quite special and can help them to adjust) . Then they decided that willow’s husband could have me come to live with him and and willow!
I love it here I get two long walks a day and lots of running with the ball, I have been out in the car to the Grandmother’s house she is not well you know, she has cancer..
I have a new bed it is really comfy it is made of Memory Foam, a new food and water bowl and I have bought my three most precious toys with me, two little guide dogs and a plastic bone. Most of all I get lots and lots of love!
I am not allowed up stairs or on the furniture which I don’t mind as I never really liked stairs and as for furniture it is not really dog is it?
We have had a busy weekend there were lots of humans here Sunday as it was the Grandmothers 96th Birthday …my goodness that is old even for a human! There were two other human’s there and I could smell dog on them. They promised I could meet their dog Monty very soon! Also there was the Grandmother and my new Mum an Dad!
The next day was special too as it was Dad’s Birthday, it was quieter but still special! Mum and Dad went out in the evening for a meal, they promised they would not be long and they were not and I being a retired guide dog behaved perfectly.
I have enclosed some photos of myself for you all to see I do hope I meet with your approval.
Lots of love Ruby Willers ( Guide Dog, Retired)

Ps . I have met Vlad he is very naughty … but nice. xxxx

DESTITUTE
Goes to bed hungry
Probes the gap between her

But there nothing there
