Merry at 10 months old

Posted by Brendan Cooper

It’s hard to believe hearing dog puppy Merry is already 10 months old. She’s getting bigger by the day, although she did shrink a bit after her much needed haircut! We still think she looks adorable.

Merry and her puppy socialising volunteers love to go to the hearing dog puppy classes, and they even do another training class close to where they live. She’s really improved in all her basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘down’ – but she’s mastered ball-retrieving!

As part of her socialising training, Merry visits busy shops like Tesco and Waitrose to get used to crowds, sights and of course the all-important sounds. She’s already had her first assessment going round Princes Risborough town and shops and did really well.

When she’s not out and about, there’s nothing Merry loves more than a good cuddle. The paw-fect way to relax after a long day is snuggled up on her puppy socialiser’s lap. Anyone else jealous?

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!
