Hi Just after Xmas someone suggested to me that I apply for a Hearing Dog - similar to a guide dog but sounds and confidence related. I applied as my hearing has deteriorated. ive given up 6 activities in the past 2 yrs. This was rather in a rush and bumbled but got done.
I've heard that I don't qualify. There's a chance of I could have a dog that didnt quite make the grade but it cant wear a jacket and go everywhere. Probably my hearing isnt quite bad enouigh but I am having difficulties in the community. Ive given up 6 activities in the past 2 years.
So decision time . Im leaving that until next week when Ive calmed down. A dog came up to me with a ball yesterday !! And the owner was telling me dogs can go a lot more places these days.

Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of greyhounds but you know, people are said to have a dog that resembles their own general appearance and personality. I think that's why I always had English Springer Spaniels, daft as a brush, clumsy and scruffy but very loyal to my master mistress

I love greyhounds. Such gentle intelligent dogs
Though with cats about, they aren't really an option

The Greyhound Trust advises against it. Unless you have one as a puppy. If you adopt a retired greyhound it's a definite no no....
