Wanted to go to #WiltshireGameAndCountryFair Bowood House & Gardens today, but they don’t provided carer tickets or disability discount. Impossible for me to get there & be there on my own, especially with a toddler. Not accessible & effectively profiting from my disability! Disappointing!






Really appreciate it when I walk into a place with Ziggy the Guide Dog and staff say ‘let us know if you need any help’ and then leave me to it unless I ask. Thank you McDonald's UK in Bridgewater! Guide Dogs

Guide Dog Ziggy (Ziggy the Guide Dog) has returned home after surgery to remove cysts on her eyes. She’s dozy, but it’s gone as well as it could have and if her recovery goes to plan, she’ll be back working in a week or two. Positive vibes, please!





Sorry, but ‘Haha, my dog can’t read!’ (Pointing to Ziggy the Guide Dog harness which says ‘Please don’t distract me’) is not a valid excuse to let your dog disturb my working guide dog!

Security guard came marching up to me and & Ziggy the Guide Dog at a bar last night. I braced myself for a ‘no dogs allowed’ or similar and got ‘let me know if I can help you with anything’! Sad that my experiences make me assume negativity, but a great interaction!

Someone is very happy following her free run with her friends this morning Ziggy the Guide Dog


A cyclist has just passed me while walking in the park while Ziggy the Guide Dog has a free run. Seeing my white cane, the cyclist rang his bell to let me know he was approaching and then said ‘I am about to pass you on your righthand side’. Simple, but SO appreciated!


PizzaExpress #IsItOk that your Charing Cross branch refused access to my friend Darren Paddick & his guide dog because his guide dog was ‘too big’?! As someone who has experienced guide dog access refusals, it’s humiliating, deeply upsetting & unlawful. Guide Dogs

Hey everyone. In December, I’m putting on a concert for the amazing charity Guide Dogs and have a crowdfunding page to raise money for the costs of the concert. Any donations or RTs will be gratefully received crowdfunder.co.uk/p/christmas-co…

Lady in shop: I suppose I can’t touch her (Ziggy the Guide Dog ) Me: No… Lady (interrupting before I could explain ): Well you’re rude. Lady walking off: I didn’t know if she was blind or not This is not ok! There is a huge sign on Ziggy’s fluorescent yellow harness 1/2

Following on from my earlier post about a lady being rude to me because she ‘didn’t know if I was blind or not’, today my 4 year old told a grown adult off for distracting Ziggy the Guide Dog while she was working. If a 4 year old gets it, I’m not sure why an adult can’t!
