C that mask! It’s clear! R owners can lipread & make sense of individuals facial expressions through it. Not like those crazy full/scary picture covering ones. Mums dreading 2morrow & the compulsory face mask rule in shops; says we won’t be going out much. Cant understand anyone
Ziggy has been getting used to protective face coverings at home 🏡
This will prepare Ziggy for when he returns to training in public places, as it's important that he feels relaxed and comfortable at all times 🐶🐾
Super-cute Komet has made a flying start to his hearing dog training 🥰
Komet is already mastering his 'sit' and 'down', and having lots of fun in the process 🐶
Keep up the great work, Komet 😃

A very big well done to cocker spaniel Zippy, who has passed the first stage of his training 👏

His next target is to master his walking behaviour & recall, as well as practising his settle 🐶
Cocker spaniel puppy Decker only started his hearing dog training a month ago and he is proving to be a bit of a star already 😀
Keep up the great work Decker ❤️
A huge round of a-paws to cocker spaniel Lady, who has just passed the second stage of her hearing dog training 👏
Lady is continuing in a very special tradition, as she shares her name with the first ever hearing dog to be matched with a deaf person in the UK ❤️
The amazing moment a Spitfire and Hurricane flew over @captaintommoore's house to mark his 100th birthday on #BBCBreakfast.

Officers are still springing up in different locations across MK to carry out vehicle checks, questioning the purpose of each journey.
Engaging with people (from a safe distance) has been great for officers to give advice and in some cases, build intelligence! #staysafe#P3085
