Today Izzy and I were assessed as to how we were doing and we passed! I signed the guide dog agreement and paid my 50 pence - well worth it!
We travelled from home to RNIB at Judd Street with the trainer and an assessor. There were a couple of mistakes/divergencies but Izzy coped well with them and showed that we worked as a team with me exercising control and Izzy exercising her superior brain power and common sense. Also her rubber Chicken sadly announced a few days ago as giving up the ghost, has mirraculously risen from the dead and is now alive and squaking well! Also did some new routes to Euston mainline station as well which proved much easier than expected. Felt somewhat emotional today when we passed and I got my badge. Didn't think I would have been quite so moved!
