I want to talk about something that really confuses me – air travel. And if you don’t understand why I find it confusing, think about it from my perspective. We drive to this really big building, where we walk from one counter to another, sometimes stopping so mom can get a cup of tea, and …
I’m wagging so hard right now that I think my tail might just fly off! You won’t believe what’s happening! Mom and I are going to write a book together… In fact, I’m going to write the book and mom will just co-write it with me. Don’t you think that will be exciting? We’re only …
As mom and I go about our work people often comment about how well behaved I am and that their dogs could never do what I do. I know I’m a guide dog and I need to behave with a degree of decorum when I’m working and I’m okay with that. But sometimes I like …
Mornings are one of my two busiest times of the day – breakfast arrives in the morning, there’s a chance to run around like crazy in the garden to greet the new day, and a chance to spend some quality time with mom. I actually think mom is pretty well trained for her morning routine …

Don’t you think this is an amazing event? My mom and I will be the main speakers at this year’s annual SA Guide-Dog fundraising dinner in Cape Town. Okay, admittedly mom will be the one doing the speaking, but you can bet I’ll be the proudest, waggiest guide dog at the event! In fact, I’m …
I know it’s Casual Day today and that mom is very excited that South Africans are uniting to support persons living with disabilities. And that’s all great – I’m happy she’s so excited but, when it comes down to it, I’m a dog so I get excited about other things, like walking, chasing squirrels, and …
