Hi, my name is Bessie.

I am a working girl, I am a fully qualified Guide Dog and my mastser is fully blind. I have to take him everywhere. It's a hard job but I really enjoy my work. It's a big challenge. We have just come back to Mudgee after three months away. We went to Marree and saw Lake Eyre. It was very hot and dry there even though there was some water in the lake. I enjoyed rolling on the salt crust and then in the black ooze that came through. That was fun! After that, we went down to the Eyre Peninsula where we took lots of nice walks along the beach, I rolled in the sand and swam in the salt water. A nice fisherman had buried some fish heads in the sand; I had a lovely feast and rolled in them too! I thought I smelt great but my master wasn't impressed when I was sick in the caravan. As we were heading home, we found some places where people had fires and I loved rolling in the fine ash. By the time we got home, I didn't look like a golden labrador anymore. I had bits of red, brown, black and grey in my coat. My master very quickly took me to Church Street Veterinary Hospital for a hydrobath. I saw the love of my life (one of the friendly nurses) and she gave me a wonderful wash! I reckon all dogs should get their masters to take them into Church Street Veterinary Hospital to visit the friendly staff. By the way, the Vets are pretty good also. They know all about things to do with us canines.

Love from 'Bessie'
