Usher Chic

Guide Dog Owner, South East Londoner with Usher Syndrome Type Two, wrongs make me cross, cheese makes me smile

[Usher Chic @usherchic2]

Yesterday after eight and a half years of being at my side, Samson, my @guidedogs handed in his harness and retired.

I could go on and on and on about all the amazing times we have had and the amazing boy he is.

But I shall try to keep it short.

Because of Brexit it looks like guide dog puppies won’t be able to do vital early training in N. Ireland. Pls sign & share to get the government to look into how guide dogs can continue to do their work for EVERY potential guide dog owner across the WHOLE of the UK

The loveliest boy.
The sweetest boy.
The BEST boy.

“Sorry, I was on mute!” Zoom, Skype, google hangout, FaceTime... we’ve all heard it when using it for work or socialising. It would be amazing if when you find yourself saying it, you donated a couple of £ to support @guidedogs work 😁 https://t.co/sjc33AbhIF

@AnnaA77 @GreenwichFoodBk Cheers @AnnaA77 I’ll make a trip there this weekend!

Read the whole thread - it’s powerful, and she’s absolutely spot on!

It's been 23 hours since I posted an Instagram story about my trip to
@Tate
. A load of people shared it there, tagging the protagonists, asking for answers. Have heard nowt, and it's about expire. So I'm going to have to dust off my Twitter to #askSOE - and I ask you to, too.

And my final also @Royal_Greenwich who do I report overhanging trees and bushes (at face level) as I don’t really fancy fighting nature before 9am everyday!
Thank you!

[Usher Chic @usherchic2]

Day four of being a long cane user and the saying that a cane is an object finder and a guide dog is an object avoider is being rammed home...! On that note @Royal_Greenwich who do I report dumped household rubbish to? As I don’t really want to bring anymore rubbish into my home!

[Usher Chic @usherchic2]

Also @Royal_Greenwich who do I report a dumped mattress to? As I don’t fancy going arse over tit every time I pass it (and according to the nice man that helped me up it’s been there for at least 3-4 weeks)

@Olas_Truth I always read your tweets with interest, at times they make me feel a bit... uncomfortable? But that’s the point, you’re giving me a glimpse into a world I don’t inhabit. Keep sharing, keep reminding the disabled community that racism exists here too x
