Sept - Oct we have been doing a new route and it's very fun! A new Sainsbury's was built just a little out of town. It takes about half an hour - forty-five minutes to walk there, we always go along the back of town out in the country rather than along the main roads. It's too noisy and neither of us like the noise or smell of traffic. The scenic route is much more fun and interesting, especially with all the gorgeous autumn coloured leaves.
We haven't done it on our own yet, just two or three times with Amy's mum to get used to the route but we'll be doing it on our on in no time. There's just one busy road we need to cross to actually get into Sainsbury's so I think that's really the only stressful part for us.
I ate something that didn't agree with me over the weekend on my free run day so I've been a bit poorly the last couple of days but I feel better today. I'm just on dry food and not as much as usual to get it out of my system. I had a little accident in Tesco's yesterday but the staff were very nice about it and helped and reassured Amy. I've never had an accident while working before but it crept up on me. Amy sat by me and stroked me and gave me hugs and never left my side. Amy's had more migraines this week so we haven't been out much, so probably the best time to be sick - if there is one, when you don't need to be out meeting people and stuff.
Last Tuesday Amy gave her first public speaking thing at a local group that meet in the Methodist Church. She talked about how her journey began and how I've changed her life for the better, how much more independent she is and why she'd wished she'd met me sooner. I got lots of attention and got to hang out with Ty who's a PAT dog that's Pet's As Therapy. He's a big Alsatian, taller than me but he's a softy. We were chatting under the table while Amy was giving her talk, we stopped when the tea and biscuits were coming out though!
It's getting really cold and wet here. We have a fibre optic small Christmas tree that Amy and her mum put up yesterday. Amy and I spent a couple of hours yesterday wrapping Christmas presents. I was very good at helping, and attacked the spare bits of paper so they wouldn't get away.
It will be my 2nd Christmas here and last year's was so much fun. I already have lots of presents with my name on under the tree. We will be getting a real one in Dec, smells so good. Amy found lots of great Christmas gift ideas in the Dogalogue and ordered them online. If you're stuck for idea's check it out! Plus it all helps towards Guide Dogs.
Next week I'm going on an adventure with Amy into Exeter to meet up with 3 of her friends for a little birthday shopping thing. I think I heard Amy and Liz talking about KFC I wonder if I'll like KFC and I also wonder if there will be any crumbs so that I could try it but usually I'm not aloud human food. The only human food I can have is cheese and that's when I need to have my worm tablet.
I think that's all for now.
