Alan Goes to the Beauty Salon

Hi everyone, you know, when I was a guide dog I could put on my red coat and go almost anywhere Mrs Cox went. That was because if you are going to be a guide dog you need to be very highly socialised - i.e. you need to be very skilled at dealing with new places, people and experiences. I loved it and its one of the things I really miss now that I have retired. Luckily, because I am so highly socialised I have managed to hold on to a few of my guide dog privileges - like being allowed to come to Glen Taylor School! Some of the places I used to go with Mrs Cox still let me visit as they remember how well behaved I am. I'm allowed to go to the dentist and the hairdresser and also the beauty salon where Mrs Cox has something weird done to her eyelashes - I don't quite understand what but I don't mind that - I'm just glad not to be left at home!
