How do vou keep cool? This heatwave has been hard on our humans but she's been doing what she can to keep my Apprentice Erasmus and me safe. We thought we'd snare this little guide of some of the things that help us.

- Stay indoors especially during the height of the day.
A famous saying says "only mad dogs and englishman
go out in the midday sun".

⁃ Don't walk or work us outside during the day. Instead
try to only do your long walk/errands early morning or
late evening when it is cooler. if you do need the toilet
during the day just pop to your nearest tree or toilet
area, don't go off on a hike midday.

- Use fans/air-conditioning to keep air movement.

⁃ Always have bowls of cool water (my human likes to
put pieces of ice in mine i love to crunch!)

⁃ Frozen treats! I particularly love my frozen pork
lollies (humans callthem sausages), carrots, yogurt.
My mum also has treated me to a kong that we also
freeze.

What do you do to keep cool in the summer?

Wanted to thank the amazing staff at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Woolwich who spent much of this week looking after Elanor Maxey. Everyone from the cleaners and security making sure we are safe to the doctors and nurses treating her were amazing.

The incredible staff in A&E made sure I had space to settle in a calmer area and was offered everything an Assistance Pup would need. While waiting times are horrific the staff did everything they could to make us comfortable.

Truly appreciate their wonderful care and support when human was particularly struggling. a little kindness can be just as powerful as the medicine you provide.

Please do support Birchgrove Garden Centre and your other local businesses. My humans still have a flu but I've told them as soon as they are better they need to bring me to choose a new bone. I've almost finished my Christmas postman leg!!!

These local businesses are so precious

🚧 Yes, the road’s closed. No, we haven’t gone anywhere. 🚧

The road closure is officially underway, but before you panic and turn the car around…

👉 We are still open as normal.

There is a diversion.
It does take a bit longer.
But we promise we’re still here at the end of it - and the coffee shop is now open again after its Christmas break.

And to make the detour feel more worthwhile, our January Sale is on, with discounts on selected products across all departments. Consider it a little reward for navigating cones and temporary signs like a pro.

As a local business, these closures aren’t exactly ideal, so we massively appreciate everyone who makes the effort to keep supporting us. It really does mean more than you know.

Thanks for sticking with us – we’ll see you at the other end of the diversion 💚🚗💨
