Hope has fun and loves life

Posted by Brendan Cooper

Hello!

No videos this time, but absolutely oodles of photos of Hope having fun and loving life.

First, the fun bit. We can't quite decide which is Hope's cutest pose.

Is it this one, with the head tilted to her left?

Or this one, with her head tilted to the right?

What about in the middle, looking at you with her adorable eyes?

No, we still can't decide. So here they all are in one photo!

A bit more fun coming up - Rose absolutely devours the morning papers, you know...

She really does look like she's having fun!

This is still part of her training. She's encouraged to explore her senses and grow in confidence, as she grows in stature. A very attractive by-product of this training is that we get some extraordinarily cute photos.

Now, the bit about 'loving life'...

Hope's Volunteer Puppy Trainers Barry and Liz have also been raising another of our sponsor puppies at the same time, called Arya. It's looking likely that Arya will move on quite soon to help a deaf person, but the time they've spent together has been wonderful.

They've really enjoyed going for walks together...

... and no, we don't know which is which in these photos either!

All we know is that they look so happy with their tails in the air.

Arya has shared everything with Hope, including her bed.

Here they are looking cute (and similar - although this time we can tell Arya is on the left because of the slightly darker fur on her face).

... and whereas they were similar in many ways...

... it has to be said that sometimes Arya got the better of Hope and managed to bag the warmest spot in the bed!

Still, Hope manages to find sleepy spots anywhere - and they don't come sleepier or spottier than this!

That's all for now. We're busily gathering up photos and videos for your next Pupdate, so until then, thank you so much for sponsoring Hope!

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!
