Zoomed in photo of the moon. The shape is crescent and there is an outline of the moon shining through. The sky is light blue with grey / dark clouds underneath the moon.

Just love seeing the brightness of the moon & its outline is so clear. Nature is just wonderful 🌙 #moon #shiningbright #nature

I do love being in my bed but not when I’m ill with whatever virus is going around 🤧😷 can I get better soon plsss 😩 I miss the normalcy of every day life

Happy new year everyone! Hope 2025 brings health and happiness for you 🙌🏻

Gerry is a black Labrador. He sits on a blue chair. Gerry wears his burgundy jacket which says Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and has a reflective strip on it. He also wears a turquoise harness underneath. Gerry has a maroon bow tie with Christmas pudding pattern on it. He stares intensely into the camera. Behind Gerry there is part of a cork board which has postcards containing positive quotes stuck to it.

Gerry also brings a big smile to everyone he meets when we’re out and about. Thank you all again 🥲🥰💜🐕‍🦺 @hearingdogs.org.uk (4/end)

Gerry and my partnership is all thanks to these wonderful volunteers. It’s not just me that Gerry benefits; I can see a beautiful bond between Dave and Gerry which is just so lovely to see. (3)

They put so much time, effort, energy and LOVE into our dogs. I am so so fortunate to have my HD Gerry, he’s honestly the best thing in my life (don’t tell Dave, my boyfriend!) and I couldn’t see life without him now. (2)

I saw that it was Volunteer Day yesterday. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to ALL the amazing volunteers who work with @hearingdogs.org.uk 🐕‍🦺 (1)

Alison is sitting on a bench next to a statue of Paddington Bear. She wears a green stripey dress, black leggings and boots with a light coloured jacket. Gerry is a black Labrador who is lying on the floor in between Alison’s feet. He wears a burgundy jacket that says Hearing Dogs for Deaf People in white text. Paddington Bear is wearing a red hat and blue jacket holding a marmalade sandwich.

Last Friday 29th November was a special day for HD Gerry & I - our two-year partnership anniversary! It honestly feels a lot longer than that 🥰 very lucky to have this amazing dog in my life, all thanks to @hearingdogs.org.uk 🙏🏻

A chocolate Labrador and a black Labrador sit next to each other on a snow-covered grassy ground.

Alison stands in front of colourful balloons and decorations, with some balloons saying Here and Now, a nod to one of the songs by the band Steps. Alison is holding a programme and is smiling at the camera.

Was down in Birmingham to see #TheStepsMusical - my heart was so full 🥲 & I was in my element singing along to their songs 🥰 but my highlights of the trip were:
- @hearingdogs.org.uk HD Gerry reuniting with his brother, HD Gatsby
- the care & support from #EasyJet staff during our flights

Gerry, a black Labrador retriever, has his mouth open as he reaches for a treat from Alison’s fingers. He wears his burgundy Hearing Dogs jacket and has his lead attached to his harness. The lead has a burgundy slip and a fluorescent yellow slip.

Hello everyone 👋🏻 first post on here. Hoping to reconnect with people on here ☺️ Thanks for following me - I’ll try to keep my posts interesting & uplifting! Probably be mostly of @hearingdogs.org.uk HD Gerry, my special fur baby.
