Memories day 1: as you may know I’m not my mums first guide dog, here is baby me at a collection giving Hattie ‘The Hat’ kisses, Hattie was getting ready to hang up her harness at this point in summer 2016, we didn’t know that I’d be next in line to the throne and that would come over a year after this photo once I’d been to big school!

Don’t forget you can enter my human and or doggy raffle in aid of Guide Dogs or just make a donation right here: https://t.co/N3YkyOUxKj £1 per entry please leave your @ name and which raffle/s you’d like entries for 🐾

X was being very difficult to post even though my mum paid for premium to post it on less post for you pals!!
Here’s some words from my mum about how great I am!

As you may or may not know this handsomest, happiest and truly wonderful soul is about ready to put his paws up and retire (in September)!

In our 7 years and 10 months Rishton and I have done countless things together, we’ve been to Parliament to campaign for change, airports to support better access and assistance for people travelling with or with their guide/assistance dogs, schools, youth groups, universities, hospitals and nursing homes to name just a few of the strings to his bow.

Rishtons been with me in some of the very best times of my life and naturally some of the worst and always with a big ole noggin to shove in your face and a whole body wiggle, stranger danger missed this one, everyone is a new opportunity to make a new bestie.

One of our most favourite things to do together is to go out and do some fundraising with our friends to tell people just how truly incredible he and all of his friends are.

With that we thought we’d make one last effort as a pair (i say we, he’s not done much work here because he’s got no thumbs which is about his only downfall), so we’re going to have ‘Rishtons Raffle’ aid of Guide Dogs to contribute towards creating other partnerships like ours and of course the other invaluable services Guide Dogs provides.

[Rishton @gd_rishton]

Tickets are £1 per entry make sure you leave your @ name and how many tickets you want and in which raffle for example ‘10 tickets, 5 x human and 5 x dog’, cut off will be midday 30th August and we’ll draw in the evening.

Most prizes can go anywhere in the UK minus a couple that are vouchers for places specifically in Liverpool.

If raffles aren’t your thing and you’d just like to make a donation to Guide Dogs you can do that too and we’d be very grateful!

@ManCity Tony was an absolute legend, one of the best people I ever met. He taught me how to play the spoons at a Christmas party when I worked for Man City and I’ll never forget his laugh when I couldn’t get it right. RIP Tony xx
