When I got home with Stokes I had to keep putting him on his lead as he was 
still running round me in circles  and would not let me get near him so when I 
managed to get hold of him I had to put the lead on until he calmed down, the 
trainer came on the Monday Morning as I had not finished my training, the day 
before she came Stokes stole a ball of string it was only a small one but it 
could have done a lot of damage, I tried to get him to come to me but instead 
of doing that he swallowed it of course I was a bit worried but when the 
trainer came and he did his toilet she said there was quite a lot of string in 
it so of course I was quite relieved  to say the least, another morning he 
stole one of my soft dogs and took it out into the garden again he would not 
come back to me and took it into the trees, the trainer arrived and heard me 
calling him and when she came into the back garden he came right up to her and 
dropped the soft toy right at her feet of course it was covered in mud so I had 
to wait until the mud was dry then give it a good brushing at least the mud 
came out but if I had been living where I do now it would have been a different 
story as the mud here is red and dies everything,
going back to when Ellis had to be retired I had just had a retina repair 
operation done and when I went to see the surgeon he told me that I had a 
scratch on the cornea  the trouble was it would not heal and just got bigger, 
after a few months of trying everything the surgeon said there was nothing for 
it but to seal my eye closed, I had to go into hospital for a few hours where 
they put me out and then made a raw edge on both top and bottom lids then 
stitched  them both together, they also put little orange grommets  along with 
the stitches to support them,after a couple of weeks the stitches were removed 
and my eye was sealed, they left it like that for about three months then they 
cut the lids open again with a pair of scissors of course they deadened  it 
first so I could not feel what they were doing, the surgeon told me that it 
didn't look much better but he would leave it for a while to see what happened 
with it, after about a week I had a call from guide dogs to tell me that they 
had a dog they wanted to bring out to me, they came with Oakley and I explained 
what was happening with my eye as I was told I may have to have it re sealed 
again, after the walk with Oakley we decided he would be a good dog for me,a 
couple of days later sure enough I had my eye sealed again and just had the 
stitches out in time to go on class,
