Being D/deaf should not limit or label anyone. RT if you agree.

Happy #DeafAwarenessWeek!

@HearingDogs Well done from brother Oshi

@SamsungHelpUK
Upgrade Programme problem.
Trying to upgrade phone, paid my deposit but on the Loan Agreement page on website it doesn't allow me to "sign the agreement" when I scroll down.
This is getting very frustrating, what am I doing wrong?

@321SaZ123 @HearingDogs @HearingDogs pup Oshi says you are very sensible Albert. Osh is now back home snuggled up after getting very wet!

[Alec Balchin @alba0266]

@SophieBiebuyck @HearingDogs Did they mention all the dog shampoo you would need as well? 😄 You guys are amazing ♥️
Spookily it's 5 years to the day that we first looked after a HD pup for the weekend as an intro to socialising - it was the lovely Aida.

[Alec Balchin @alba0266]

@HearingDogs They may have played a small part 🤥😆

[Alec Balchin @alba0266]

Sometimes I even amaze myself with my dog recall skills. It does help when three are Hearing Dogs in training, one a fully qualified Hearing Dog and Risotto the honoury Hearing Dog 😄

Cafe settles and castles... 😃

Oshi's having a fab time on his holiday in Northumberland, and is taking all the experiences in his stride 🐶

[Lindisfarne Castle @NTlindisfarne]

The lovely Oshi and @alba0266 popped into the castle yesterday. All assistance dogs are welcome inside the castle. We will happily look after all other dogs at the admission’s hut while you explore inside. #assistancedogs #everyonewelcome

[Alec Balchin @alba0266]

Thank you to all the staff @NTlindisfarne for being so welcoming and letting @HearingDogs pup Oshi visit your fab castle 👍🏰 #Northumberland

[Hearing Dogs for Deaf People @HearingDogs]

The vets can be an unnerving experience, so Oshi goes to his local surgery for a monthly weigh-in to get used to all the sounds & smells 🐶

Hearing dogs need to feel relaxed in places they will visit again in the future, such as the vets & groomers, and Oshi is certainly that 😃

[Alec Balchin @alba0266]

@onegirlandherHD Get well soon Ayla♥️ Oshi sends big licks and wags and says he remembers running around Haldon Forest with you 🐾🐾🐾 back in May💕

Wishing a very happy first birthday to hearing dog puppy Oshi 🎉🎁

[Alec Balchin @alba0266]

@Hearingdogpuppy @HearingDogs That's right and Zeb too! No pup is allowed to leave us until they've made "the jump"😆

[Alec Balchin @alba0266]

@HearingDogs They had a great time!
