There was bright sunlight along with big black clouds — hence the lens flare as we circled the tree!

@kdfrawg That’s understandable. I don’t think a cat has allowed Bembo close enough to find out if he’s friendly or not.

@hybotics @kdfrawg I hid some treats around a tree trunk for him to find today.
@matigo Poor puppy. Bembo threw his head back and did a full on howl yesterday when a police car went past very slowly with its siren blaring. I couldn’t hear it at first over the noise of the siren, but as the police car got a bit further away, I realised there was another wailing noise going on!
@kdfrawg Bembo doesn’t actually know any cats, but he has an instinctive knowledge that it’s a dog’s duty to chase cats, birds and squirrels. I think birds are his favourite, because he can make them fly away. Cats and squirrels just run up trees, which isn’t anything like as much fun.

@hybotics Apart from all the work, it must be so hard to spend all that time with a puppy, knowing you have to send it away before very long.
@hybotics I am in awe of the people who foster guide dog puppies. They take care of them and start basic training, then just as they’re settling down a bit, at 18 months or so, the have to let them go and start again with a new one!
@hybotics She sounds just right. Having just emerged from the puppy days, I totally agree that an adult dog would work much better for you. Puppies are cute, but very hard work and would be especially difficult in a shared house.
