Tags: circus, westminster, guide dog owner
Well the last week with Izzy has been really quite illuminating. I have seen different sides to Izzy with her working well on most occasions and then, after a late night, reluctant to get out of bed! The past Monday and Tuesday were busy with trips each day by bus into romford, and then on monday up to Kings cross via taxi and then tubes. Tuesday we came home and then just as Izzy thought it was time for her dinner I took her off to the Gym. She worked well there despite a rumbling stomach but when we came home we got lost or so I thought. we had a difference of opinion which way to go from the Gym and then when I thought we were going in the right direction I heard loud music coming from a building in front of me. We went back and forwards and in the end asked for directions. We had indeed been going right but the circus had been erected next to the park path we used and the evening performance was in operation! Wednesday involved trips to Bakers Street and Edgware road which went well and then Thursday it was our first trip to an area neither of us knew near Westminster. We then went on London Eye and on the Sunday a boat trip down the Thames, quite a lot for a dog to cope with!! Next week it is more trips to London, our first train journey together, a reception at the House of Commons Speaker's residence, and finishing off with a late party on Saturday, more next week.
