This week we were visited by Thelma who brought her two dogs in, Rhoda and Alma. Thelma works for Guide Dogs for the blind, fundraising and educating people about the fantastic work that dogs can do for blind and partially aighted people.
A huge thank you to Thelma and the dogs for their time and Friends of Fieldhead for donating the weeks toast money as a donation to Guide Dogs for the Blind. If you want to find out more about this charity you can visit their website

| Alma the retired guide dog having a quick nap ! |
 |
| We experienced what it would be like to be blind or partially sighted. |
 |
| Taking Rhoda for a walk.......or is it the other way round??? Rhoda started her training as a guide dog nut it didn't work out as she is far too easily distracted by food. I know the feeling !!! |
 |
| Looking like professionals. |
 |
| These are called "sim specs". They simluate various eye conditions that can affect your sight like cataracts. |
 |
| Having great fun. |
