Hi Everyone, I am starting training with my first guide dog tomorrow. His name is Nougat, but it is pronounced Nugget. He is about 19 months old and he's a black Labrador retriever cross. He is really placid and quiet, which is the sort of dog I need. I am really looking forward to the training tomorrow, but I am not sure what will be happening when I get to the Hilton hotel in Shrewsbury, which is the one that the Shrewsbury branch of Guide Dogs uses. I am going there every day as I live quite close by. Transport has been arranged to pick me up, take me to the hotel, then when I have finished for the day they will bring me home. I have to be there at 11 AM every morning except Thursday, when I have to be there for 9 AM. I will be bringing him home with me in the evenings starting either tomorrow or Tuesday. I will let you know if I qualify with Nougat, but I really hope I do. Take care of yourselves. From Sara
