It was a BIG day today! I passed my Level 1 Assistance Dog test ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ In a few months I will (hopefully) be a certified Assistance Dog! All my hard work has certainly paid off ๐Ÿ’œ I also have to say a big thank you to Team Raia - they are my handlers in school. They helps me learn all the things I needed to know for today. Iโ€™m very proud of myself and how far Iโ€™ve come from my first day in school back in November to today ๐Ÿฅฐ
Thanks to the Rotarians for hosting us for a lunchtime talk in the @europahotelbelfast I was very well looked after with lots of strokes and cuddles! My mummy was giving some sort of presentation about our school, I listened for a while but then she got talking about me so I just stretched out and had a little nap ๐Ÿ’ค๐Ÿ’œ I was a very brave girl on the Glider, buses can be scary at times but I took it in my stride and tried hard not to fall over! Mission accomplished ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
Do you see how much me and my siblings have grown up? We are coming near the end of our training sessions, Iโ€™m really going to miss my weekly catch up with my family. Mummy says weโ€™ve something called a test to do very soon, Iโ€™m not quite sure what thatโ€™s all about but she did tell me Iโ€™ve to be on my best behaviour and make sure my listening ears are on! Iโ€™m loving all my class visits, this week the Robins class took me out for a walk, I love getting to walk with my chums ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿพ The Starling class love to get out of their wheelchairs onto the floor to make sure I get the best cuddles - Iโ€™m pretty good at giving cuddles you know!
My first school Formal ๐Ÿฅณ I got all dressed up and was so excited to see my friends looking amazing too! What a fabulous night, I was able to show everyone my dancing skills as well as my awesome sit and stay for all the photos!
It was Sponsored Walk day today ๐ŸŽ‰ I enjoyed cheering the pupils on as well as meeting lots of parents and friends. Thanks for all the attention ๐Ÿ’œ We are raising money for Friends of Mitchell House our school charity. If youโ€™d like to sponsor my extreme cuteness by making a wee donation thereโ€™s a link in my bio!
Massive thank you to the EA staff in Academy Street for all the lovely cuddles! They made us feel very welcome. ๐Ÿ’œ Fun in the sun with my friends is the best โ˜€๏ธ Assembly on Friday was all about me! The boys and girls wanted to hear a little bit more about my mummy and daddy as well what I do in my spare time. I sat so well as you can see. Something was mentioned at the end about birthday celebrations coming soon, Iโ€™m not quite sure what that is but everyone else seemed pretty excited ๐ŸŽ‰ @educationauthority
Iโ€™ve been a little quiet on here because I had to do the unthinkable and phone in sick for a few days! Thankfully I was well looked after and a few days rest with some medicine has me back in action again! Here are a few pictures of what Iโ€™ve been up to: - walks by the sea really do make everything so much better - I met my โ€˜cousinโ€™ Molly from Cedar Lodge - I missed my friends and am so glad to be back with them again (cuddles really are the best!)
I popped in to wish all the @wingitbelfast marathon team all the best for Sunday ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธI freely gave cuddles when I was there too!
I was on BBC Newsline tonight - did anyone see me? I played so well with my chum for the camera ๐Ÿฅฐ Full video is over on the school Facebook page.
