In which Arthur has a ball

Posted by Brendan Cooper

It would be fair to say Arthur has a real ball with John and Liz, his Volunteer Puppy Trainers!

Arthur? Wake up, we've got a toy for you!

No, ignore the toy bone, it's the ball we've just given you.

It's a ball! My very own ball!

Cue much writhing...

... and wriggling...

... phew, that's enough! Time for a quick snooze in the nice fresh sunshine.

As well as having a ball, Arthur does like having a snooze, it has to be said.

He does like the nice thick rug, which is a similar colour and pattern so sometimes it's difficult to tell which is which...

... but Arthur isn't choosy. The towels are a very good choice, whether sleeping on them...

... or wrapped in them.

One thing's certain...

Sweet dreams Arthur. You've played lots, and you've having a lovely time. 

Arthur is enjoying life becuase of your kindness in supporting him. So, again, from all of us at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People - and John, and Liz, and of course Arthur - thank you! You're pawsome!

Hi, I'm Brendan. I write all your sponsor pup updates, printed and online. It's a hard life, writing about cute puppies who, with your support, will grow up to help deaf people leave loneliness behind. I am partially deaf myself, so I have some insights into the challenges deafness can bring. However, I don't have a dog of my own: I have two Maine Coon cats who are quite dog-like and take up most of my time!
