Better late than never!
So I now find myself a week behind and I have a few blog's that I need to post;
Last Saturday with Maggie for company, we set off to see my sister who lives in Carlilse.
This was quite an adventure for me, I usually rely on someone taking / collecting me from the station.
My usual chauffeurs were not available, so we made our own way into Huddersfield by bus. The whole day went relatively event free, we usually cause a bit of chaos between us. I suppose the nearest we came was a couple of times at the bus station;
The first was on our outward journey, we were very early so called at Gregg's. The lovely smells of meat must have been sending Maggie crazy. Food is usually Maggie's 'achilles heal', but she was magnificent. She must have worked those puppy dog eyes on the shop assistant though because she passed me a complimentary sausage roll for my dog! You may know that as an assistance dog, Maggie does not 'intentionally' consume any human food, she only has her meal as per strict instructions from the fantastic charity 'dogs for good' (www.dogsforgood.org) Anyway I was still deciding whether I should devour the sausage roll myself, when it dropped onto the floor. There was no need for me to ponder anymore, it was gone in seconds!!
The next was on the return journey as I was trying to position myself whilst patiently awaiting my bus. I couldn't really argue with the old lady who called me a "silly bugger" as I ran over her shopping!
A long day (8am-10pm) but I thoroughly enjoyed a lovely sunny afternoon with my sister.
