When @ziggy_guidedog met Amoelia... 😍
Video description: Julian is standing in a hospital room, holding Amoelia with Ziggy sat in front of them. He kneels down to Ziggy who stands up with her tail wagging and sniffs Amoelia. Ziggy is excited about her new sister. #GuideDog
Julian and I are very proud to introduce Amœlia (Mimi) Jane Fairclough to the world. Born on Saturday 22nd August at 12.12pm weighing 8lbs 1oz. We’re completely besotted!
Today is #InternationalGuideDogDay. I don’t know what I’d do without @ziggy_guidedog leading me safely through life. These life changers are incredible. Thank you to @guidedogs for all their amazing work. Please support them if you’re able #GuideDogs
This was @ziggy_guidedog and me joining in the @guidedogs Virtual Tea Party world record attempt. I don’t know what I’d do without Ziggy guiding me through life. Please support this amazing charity if you are able. #GuideDogs
Please can people remember that it’s very hard for visually impaired people to socially distancing because they can’t see where others are. @guidedogs can’t help because they aren’t trained that way. Please be aware and give them 2 metre space to keep everyone safe.
One year ago @ziggy_guidedog & I qualified as a @guidedogs partnership. What a year it’s been. She’s given me the confidence to face the world as a visually impaired person & is my constant companion, keeping me safe on my journey through life.
This is my favourite photo of us!
Telling mum about the run I just went on with dad. Had SO much fun! (We kept our distance from everyone else. @LizzieCapener
PD: Ziggy, a yellow lab x golden retriever is sat looking up at the camera. Her mouth is wide open #GuideDog#GuideDogs
In another episode of ‘good people exist on the tube’, a guy barged me & @ziggy_guidedog to get to a seat & was immediately moved from said seat by a lovely lady so I could sit down. Lady asked if I needed any help. I thanked her very much and said I was ok #ChangingPerceptions
Just went for champagne brunch @SearcysGherkin. Security guard tried to deny @ziggy_guidedog access, saying she had to be approved by manager. Told him he was being unlawful, but he did not stand down. It was a wedding present, but was ruined by an access problem @guidedogs@RNIB
Fab evening with Kate and Mark (sorry we didn’t get a photo with all of us - we were having too much fun) @JulianFFFFF
Photo is of me me wearing my husbands, Julian’s flat cap, looking into the camera with Julian slightly behind me also looking into the camera smiling
Not a bad attempt at making my 1st bauble for our 1st Christmas as #MrAndMrs
I’ve always loved making things, but find it more & more difficult. I really take my time, but there will be other ways I can adapt as my eyes deteriorate. I won’t stop doing the things I love @RNIB
Just a thought... #Accessibility is not allowing access it’s making adjustments so people with disabilities can live their lives. My #GuideDog means I can live independently. She’s an extension of me. Denying her access, is denying me access. #ChangingPerceptions@rnib@guidedogs
So, today a lady was actually trying to call @ziggy_guidedog to her WHILE SHE WAS GUIDING ME ACROSS A ROAD!! No! No! No! This is so dangerous! She then got upset with me for telling her to stop!!! Don’t. Distract. Working. Guide. Dogs. @guidedogs@RNIB#ChangingPerceptions
Sleep time!! It’s been a long day guiding @lizziecapener I love keeping her safe #GuideDogs#ChangingPerceptions
