Santa and the Guide Dog....

Santa with is Naughty and Nice book alongside Linda and Marley

Santa was back again today and he had a very special visitor - Marley.  Marley is a guide dog in waiting, that is to say he is still a puppy and has to wait until he is old enough to go for training.  In the meanwhile he lives with Linda and learns the basics,  part of this means he gets to go into restaurants and other places where dogs don't normally go, all so that he is prepared for his training.  Today he met Santa and some of the children who came to visit him, and also curled up in front of the fire and had a little nap!  They say it is a 'dogs life'!

Santa should be back again tomorrow with the Dray rides -- assuming the weather is OK.

Talking of weather -- out in the garden, it has got colder and wetter -- not so many visitors but still getting some dedicated ones who come to feed us.  Today the rain, sleet and snow made some lovely puddles for us to play in!  The "new" ducklings are now nearly full grown but still do not have all their feathers so are still being put away at night, brrrr they must be a bit chilly now!

Lots of 'Christmas Cheer'  everywhere in the centre this week with Christmas lunch parties, and a big birthday party last Sunday.  The lights look lovely and the fire makes it look very cosy.  This Sunday I hear that there will be Christmas songs and Carols during lunch.
