April


Hi everyone! wow! where has the time gone? in shop today, thought I would get up to speed with the Blog...lots been happening, been ill but on the mend now. Had some excitement in that Daisy and I appeared on Ready Steady Cook, it was so cool. As per norm she was the star that she is.

Ainsley Harriott thought she was a little babe, I made him a fab card....he loved it. A 3D Image of him in one of his pinks shirts, he showed it to all the Audience and they loved it too.

It was really exciting, and to see how the program works, and the razzmatazz of it all.

Ainsley interviewed me about Daisy and what she does in my life.

I told him about the episode with the Fire engine, which you can read on my web site, he was tickled pink (excuse the pun!).

He really is a great person so full of life and bubbly, and just a really nice guy.
So glad I met him.

The photo above includes two stars from 'The Bill' and the two celebrity chefs, and Jenny Moir from Hearing Dogs and of course me and Daisy.
I stayed at the Hearing dogs Centre for two days and saw the dogs being trained, just like Daisy was for me.
It really is a wonderful charity and all the recipients are so grateful for the chance of having a faithful friend, but one who is really clever and worth their weight in gold and helps them will the day to day sounds in their life.
I love daisy to bits and cannot imagine my life with out her.
She is at present sat in the window of the shop looking out at the world going by.
Everyone around here loves her and stops to say hello.
Such a special little dog.
BUT SUCH A DIVA ha-ha!
Ok ...well customers in now, so have to pop along and will be back soon.
Hope you all have a great weekend.....
From me and Dais xx
