Winter2013 Les Nouvelles 21 Puppy walking part 2 By Sue de Gruchy As the deadline for the spring issue of Les Nouvelles de St. Martin arrives, Hilly is six months old and has grown significantly since she arrived at the end of last August. She has more than quadrupled in weight (now over 20kg) and has a gleaming set of adult teeth. Hilly is now wearing her third collar (there’s still one to go in our equipment pack) and has advanced from a blue Guide Dogs “puppy” lead to a smart white leather “adult” lead – just as well as she chewed through the blue lead whilst we weren’t looking! Hilly also now has a smart blue jacket proclaiming “Guide Dog puppy in training” for when we’re in town and shopping. It means we’re welcome in shops, including supermarkets, which is an essential part of “puppy walking”, but I have to say it does feel very odd to take a dog into a supermarket! The jacket also helps as we sometimes have to ask those we meet not to give Hilly any attention – still very difficult as she’s so pleased to meet everyone, but she has to learn to ignore people, and dogs, when she’s on the lead as she will be a “working dog”. The Puppy Walking Supervisor has visited every month and we’ve taken bus trips; learnt how to negotiate manual and automatic doors when entering shops; and how to groom the dog. Apparently it’s possible to get a good shine on the coat of black Labradors using chamois leather but that’s optional – and an option I probably won’t be doing. In addition to the usual day-to-day activities we’ve also introduced Hilly to some local events which may, or may not, be part of her future life as a Guide Dog. Hilly attended the preview evening at the Annual “Biggest” Book Sale last October organised by the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association (Jersey Branch) and popped in to Les Pres Manor to see “black butter” being made by the St Martin’s Methodist Church members. We also took Hilly to the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph VLJ (not a flinch when the cannon was fired but she found the marching troops bearing down on her a little unnerving) and, in the last VLJ_Governance style ideas 07/02/2013 13:44 Page 1 Abovet: Hilly at the black butter making in October 2012 week, watched the New Year’s Day swimmers at St Catherine’s breakwater, although did not join them, and neither did I! Despite her increased size, Hilly is still very much a puppy and loves playing with other dogs when on a “free run”. Plastic flower pots and leaves are still great fun to chase in the garden, especially when they get blown around by the wind, but other things that move are also a great source of entertainment whether it’s washing going round in the machine or the wheels on the supermarket trolley which turn tantalisingly in front of her nose. The first few months have certainly been lots of fun and there’s still another six months or more before Hilly moves on to training school – so look out for the next instalment!
