Leo then and now

It's amazing what you find in the archives!

We've found some fab photos of Leo from almost the day he was born.

Leo came from a big family of little puppies. They were the 'L' litter - we name our puppy litters after the alphabet, a bit like weather forecasters use names for storms (although a lot less stormy and more puppy-like, obviously).

So, deep breath, see if you can say them all in one go...

From top to bottom we have Lynton, Lupin, Leighton, Leo (the one with the go-faster stripes), Lima, Lincoln, Lily, Lyon and Luxor. All at just six days of age!

The thing about puppies is that they grow up. However, in Leo's case, this makes for even more cute photos.

We think the photo below is possibly the greatest one ever taken in the history of puppydom. They look like they've sprouted!

This time we have, from left to right, Luxor, Leighton, Lupin, Lima, Lily, Lincoln, Leo, Lynton and Lyon. Pay attention because we might be having tests on this in future. If you're having difficulty matching the pups in the previous photo to the one abvove, then maybe tilt your head for the vertical one!

Still growing up in the photo above, but still very cute. This time we have Lincoln, Leighton,  Lupin, Lima, Lily, Leo, Lynton, Luxor, and Lyon.

No, we don't know how the volunteers know which puppy is which either! Nor do we know how they managed to get them all in one spot long enough to take a photo.

So, that's Leo past. The video below shows Leo present - cooling down in a lovely paddling pool.

See? He's grown, but he's still cute! And having a lovely life, thanks to your support.

As always, from all of us at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, thank you for sponsoring Leo!
