'Open house', when do we get to tour the property?
Ah, I kind of thought that's what you meant, but wasn't sure!:D
Well, next year Del wants to have some outdoor trees, all lit up with 'spangly' lights and icicles (which she loves), and if I get her a snow machine, it could look quite spectacular, so will invite you over for the grand opening, lol... Munchies and homemade mince pies and mulled wine:cheers:
Marco.
Very nice Marco. Red, White and Green at Xmas, eh?
A blind girl called Deborah has got a new friend this Xmas. A Guide Dog called Eve.
I sponsor Guide Dogs for a mere £10 a month. It's great, they send you a cute picture of your puppy every few months and a progress report.
And a Christmas calender full of adorable puppies. Eve started out as a tiny fluffball.
Anyway Eve is 2-y-0 and a now fully fledged Guide Dog.... Aw... :)

Worthy cause mate. Good that they keep you updated.
I see EBay are hanging on to buyers payments now - they wait a few days before passing on the payment to the seller.
Could it be due to competition I wonder ?
This may already have been discussed- if so ignore me :)
Nice one, Steve. A worthy cause indeed - they are, quite simply, beautiful creatures and invaluable companions for their owners:)Quote:

It takes 20 months to train a guide dog. They learn to be focussed on their owner, not be distracted by things like sausages in the Supermarket.
Or other dogs. Are taught to be confident in all sorts of places. I suppose crossing the road must be mission critical.
Go on trains buses, boats and to airports. Are taught patience, like sitting quietly in a Cafe.
Eve is apparently a happy and affectionate animal, ideally suited to someone who needs a cuddle buddy as well as a guide.
She is good in the office, just snoozing under the desk, so would suit an office worker. Lot to it, eh?

It's Del's birthday today, so I've just made one of her favourite cocktails, an Aperol spritz, and made it look all princessy:
