I got back home from Tasmania last night - and boy was I happy to see My Person's Mum and Dad and littlest sister!
The trip was great! I got to go heaps of new places and show everyone how to get back to the hotel - which I was very good at!
Here's a picture of me with My Person, Guide Dog Clementine and most of my new friends (I never did get a photo of all the instructors!)
This was a great day - we went on a tour of all sorts of new places. My Person called them 'Richmond', 'The Devil's Kitchen', 'Port Arthur' and 'the Dog Chain'. When we stopped to look at the place where the dog chain used to be, I got to have a run around - it was so much fun! I even played chase with Clementine. Then we went to look at something that looked like a dog - I was so looking forward to meeting it, but then I realised it wasn't really a dog, but metal!
That night, we went on another tour - my person called it a 'ghost tour'. We walked around a big old building in the dark. My Person was being a bit silly, but I was happy to do my job. I didn't much like the narrow stairs, though!
On Thursday I went walking in the snow! We went up to the top of Mount Wellington and climbed up some rocks to the very top. The snow was a little cold on my feet, but it was very interesting stuff! Here's a picture of my Person and I on Mount Wellington:
We went down the mountain a bit to have lunch - though the instructors had forgotten to bring any for themselves! Luckily My Person and Amy and Maysa had thought to bring fruit and biscuits to share!
After lunch we went on a long bushwalk. All the people kept slipping, and My Person decided I could just walk on the leash and she got out her cane. Andy nearly fell down an embankment, and he, Amy and My Person were laughing so hard they had a job getting him back onto the path! It was fantastic fun, and when we got back to the picnic spot all the guys played fetch and chase with me!
Later in the afternoon Shane drove Amy, Andy, Gerry, My Person and I to a park where they climbed on an old cannon. 
I was sliding around too much in the back of the 4WD, so my person said I could ride up front with Andy. That was good, but Andy had gotten soaked when he walked into the sea at Blackmans Bay and a huge wave hit him. I'd been told I couldn't go into the water, but I did get a bit wet in the car - yay!
Clementine wasn't so keen on the flights, but I didn't mind - except when we landed in Melbourne coming home, because that was a bit bumpy for my liking! Mostly I slept on the floor beside My Person's seat.
Anyhow, I'm hoping to be fed soon, so I'll go sit on my mat for a while and hope My Person gets the hint. This has been a fantastic week!
Next time, people,
Guide Dog Kenworth
