Following on from my earlier post about a lady being rude to me because she ‘didn’t know if I was blind or not’, today my 4 year old told a grown adult off for distracting @ziggy_guidedog while she was working. If a 4 year old gets it, I’m not sure why an adult can’t!

Lady in shop: I suppose I can’t touch her (@ziggy_guidedog ) Me: No… Lady (interrupting before I could explain ): Well you’re rude. Lady walking off: I didn’t know if she was blind or not This is not ok! There is a huge sign on Ziggy’s fluorescent yellow harness 1/2

@PizzaExpress #IsItOk that your Charing Cross branch refused access to my friend @Darren_Paddick & his guide dog because his guide dog was ‘too big’?! As someone who has experienced guide dog access refusals, it’s humiliating, deeply upsetting & unlawful. @guidedogs

A cyclist has just passed me while walking in the park while @ziggy_guidedog has a free run. Seeing my white cane, the cyclist rang his bell to let me know he was approaching and then said ‘I am about to pass you on your righthand side’. Simple, but SO appreciated!

Someone is very happy following her free run with her friends this morning @ziggy_guidedog

Security guard came marching up to me and & @ziggy_guidedog at a bar last night. I braced myself for a ‘no dogs allowed’ or similar and got ‘let me know if I can help you with anything’! Sad that my experiences make me assume negativity, but a great interaction!

Sorry, but ‘Haha, my dog can’t read!’ (Pointing to @ziggy_guidedog harness which says ‘Please don’t distract me’) is not a valid excuse to let your dog disturb my working guide dog!

I’m a visually impaired mum to a 3.5 yo. I have good central vision. She banged her head at the park yesterday. Hubby was away on Navy duty & we were with friends. Called @NHSuk 111 who advised she needs to be seen. I say that I am @guidedogs user & hubby is away. 1/3

Happy 7th birthday to my amazing Guide Dog, Ziggy, and all her amazing siblings! I’m so lucky to have this life changer by my side, keeping me out of harms way. Hopefully she will continue to do so for a few more years to come.

Guide Dog Ziggy (@ziggy_guidedog) has returned home after surgery to remove cysts on her eyes. She’s dozy, but it’s gone as well as it could have and if her recovery goes to plan, she’ll be back working in a week or two. Positive vibes, please!

Really appreciate it when I walk into a place with @ziggy_guidedog and staff say ‘let us know if you need any help’ and then leave me to it unless I ask. Thank you @McDonaldsUK in Bridgewater! @guidedogs

Wanted to go to #WiltshireGameAndCountryFair @BowoodHouse today, but they don’t provided carer tickets or disability discount. Impossible for me to get there & be there on my own, especially with a toddler. Not accessible & effectively profiting from my disability! Disappointing!
