John's first guide dog, Oscar, who retired in 2003, came over to see us - well, of course, he didn't come here by himself, but was brought over by our dear friend, Bob, who is Oscar's retirement 'dad'.
Oscar will be 13 tomorrow! He has slowed up a lot now and is a bit deaf. He has to take his time lying down and getting up.
It was so lovely to see him again, thanks to Bob coming over with him. He remembered us and where he was.
Here he is with Bob:
And with his former master, John:
And lastly, with me:
Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Oscar!
how lovely :)
