Happy Birthday Unity . . . Happy 10th birthday to Unity, the absolute love of my life. Unity has been my dutiful guide dog for 8 years now and I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be nearly as happy or prosperous without her. Today we took her on a shopping spree at @petsathomeuk where she picked a selection of toys and dog treats. We then took her for a long free run to her favourite park where she played chase with lots of other dogs. Now she is enjoying playing with her many new toys and taking a long rest. Being 10 now Unity is due to retire around the early part of next year. She will then become a family pet dog and enjoy her older years as a carefree pooch of leisure. I don’t think any amount of toys, treats or hugs can ever express the extent of my gratitude towards her or the charity @guidedogsuk who gave her to me. Unity you have changed my life beyond all measure, you make me happy every single day I’m with you. I love you more than words can ever say. . . . To mark Unity’s birthday I am asking anyone who can to please donate to Guide Dogs UK. Guide Dogs as a charity receives no government funding and like so many charities Covid has had an impact on the charity’s ability to operate. A guide dog costs £50,000 to train and they are worth every penny. Anything you could give would help to train a wonderful dog like Unity who will one day become not just someone’s guide dog, but their most trusted friend. . . .

October 14 is World Sight Day / World Blind Day Blindness is a lack of vision. It may also refer to a loss of vision that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Partial blindness means you have very limited vision. Complete blindness means you cannot see anything and do not see light. (Most people who use the term "blindness" mean complete blindness.) People with vision that is worse than 20/200, even with glasses or contact lenses, are considered legally blind in most states in the United States. Vision loss refers to the partial or complete loss of vision. This vision loss may happen suddenly or over a period of time. Vision loss has many causes. In the United States, the leading causes are: ▫️Accidents or injuries to the surface of the eye (chemical burns or sports injuries) ▫️Diabetes ▫️Glaucoma ▫️Macular degeneration The type of partial vision loss may differ, depending on the cause: ▫️With cataracts, vision may be cloudy or fuzzy, and bright light may cause glare ▫️With diabetes, vision may be blurred, there may be shadows or missing areas of vision, and difficulty seeing at night ▫️With glaucoma, there may be tunnel vision and missing areas of vision ▫️With macular degeneration, the side vision is normal, but the central vision is slowly lost Other causes of vision loss include: ▫️Blocked blood vessels ▫️Complications of premature birth (retrolental fibroplasia) ▫️Complications of eye surgery ▫️Lazy eye ▫️Optic neuritis ▫️Stroke ▫️Retinitis pigmentosa ▫️Tumors, such as retinoblastoma and optic glioma Total blindness (no light perception) is often due to: ▫️Severe trauma or injury ▫️Complete retinal detachment ▫️End-stage glaucoma ▫️End stage diabetic retinopathy ▫️Severe internal eye infection (endophthalmitis) ▫️Vascular occlusion (stroke in the eye) Learn more at: https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003040.htm#start #worldblindday #worldsightday #blind #blindness #guidedogs #guidedogsfortheblind #guidedogsofamerica #guidedogsofinstagram #guidedogsuk #guidedogsaustralia #disabled #disability #disabilities https://www.instagram.com/p/CVAwNzLgI3W/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s been a long day and someone finds new places very exciting! Bless her we went out for the last busy of the night and pretty much as soon as her head hit the blanket she was asleep. Yet again she has chosen to sleep under the desk so that’s where I have put her blanket... I didn’t think the space was big enough but Ollie has different ideas. #guidedog #germanshepard #gsd #gsdguidedog @guidedogsuk #workhardplayhard #guidedogsuk #sleepy #sleepygermanshepard #snooze #fluffy #fluffyblanket #blindpeopleofinstagram #guidedogsofinstagram @premierinn #Bracknell (at Premier Inn Bracknell Central) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7fftNlzrh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17qhrailme8ch

Hey guys! Tomorrow is the day I start my 100,000 steps for Guide Dogs. For the next week I’ll be walking every day to raise money for Guide Dogs. This next week is going to kill me, but I’m determined to do it. I’ll be updating my @justgiving page and vlogging it as my week progresses. Anything you can donate to support me and to help raise more money for Guide Dogs would be so very appreciated. Every donation helps make a different no matter how small. Unity came into my life when my independence was non existent. My mental health was at an all time low. She gave me my life back and showed me what it truly meant to be happy asking for very little in return. I’m eternally grateful to everyone who gives to this amazing charity. Guide dogs receives no government funding and can only train guide dogs through the generosity of the public and through fundraising. It could be as little as £2 that you would spend on a morning coffee. That £2 will help to train a guide dog who will one day enrich somebodies life beyond measure. You can help give one of the greatest gifts to someone living with sight loss, their independence. Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated. You can donate by heading to the link in my bio. . . .

When a dog enters your life, they fill all the empty gaps you had inside your heart. The reason you cannot ever truly be sad in their presence is because they filled all the places that sadness would have inhabited. They make your life whole, they make a house a home and they give you purpose even when you can’t find it yourself. My wild Rose is truly the life and soul of the party. She is the Jester of our household and without a doubt the most exuberant pooch I��ve ever known. But for all of her nutty ways and weird habits. She is a truly sweet and caring soul and I’ll always be grateful that she came into my life when she did. Being an adult sometimes can feel very demanding and often a little daunting at times. But Rosie always makes me look on the bright side of life which is something that copious amounts of therapy over the years never truly did. Rosie is a dog who helps me see the world through rose tinted spectacles. . . . #Dogs #GuideDogs #GuideDogsOfInstagram #ServiceDogsOfInstagram #Disability #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityLife #DisabilityEducation #DisabilityAdvocate #DisabledWoman #DisabledBlogger #GuideDogsUK #DogParent #DogInfluencer #DogInfluences #DisabledInfluencer #Labrador #LabradorsOfInstagram #LabradorRetriever #DiscoverUnder10K #LondonLife (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcdzYdbqJQk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Could it be? Winston? Homecoming? Big Thanks to Jeff Jabin for the music. You my boy blue! @jabinaise Video Description: Video shows very short clips of a dog bowl being filled with water, then food. Next a beanbag is set on the floor and fluffed. Now you see hands adjust a rug inside a dog kennel. Now you see three dog bones drop on to a living rooming floor. The video comes to an end.

Funny how these older photos of Winston makes me super happy and somewhat sad at the same time. I guess that’s a good thing. It’s a good thing it makes me happy because that means I am super connected to this amazing guide dog. And it makes me sad that he isn’t with me now. Even though I know he will be home soon its still hard to wait… but totally worth the wait. Photo Description: It’s a close up profile picture of Winston. He is entering the picture from the left and he nose is point towards the right said of the picture. Dog Description: Dog Description: A black lab guide dog named Winston.

Winston receiving some much deserved nursing from @starrfish56 after a very unexpected outcome at an unknown animal clinic. It wasn’t anyone’s fault just a very unfortunate mistake. Luckily my vet and @gdb_official has been bye our side every step of the way. GDB HAS BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE AS THEY ALWAYS ARE. Thank you all for the kind words for Winston. You are all awesome!! #guidedogsofinstagram #guidedogs #guidedog #iamgdb #guidedogsfortheblind https://www.instagram.com/p/CRC5HHysnC1/?utm_medium=tumblr
