Episode 1:

Winter: A snuggly and smiley friend

Posted by Elizabeth Murphy

Welcome to your first Puppy Pen – and thank you so much for sponsoring Winter!

Winter was definitely named after the right season! This smiley Cocker Spaniel loves nothing more than a cosy lie-in, enjoying her home comforts and spending time with her human and canine friends.

Her gold-dipped ears and snowy tail melt the heart of every new person she encounters. In the future, this cheerful pup will make her deaf partner smile, every day.

As her name suggests, Winter is cool and relaxed when learning about the world around her. Whether it’s seeing buses or even cows for the first time, Winter decides to sit and observe with a quiet confidence.

Anne, Winter’s Volunteer Dog Trainer, said, “She just takes everything in her stride. She’s very happy with people, other dogs and places. Nothing really seems to faze her. She seems to like everybody and everything!” Adorably, Anne also shared that Winter has a habit of curling up between her feet when she’s preparing dinner – like a personal pair of warm, fluffy slippers!

With this delightful girl by your side, life is merry. We’re sure little Winter will grow up to be a life-changing companion for her future deaf partner.

How else will Winter keep her favourite humans warm and snug? What will be her record time for the ‘longest snooze’? And which deaf person will she grow up to support? You’ll find out soon…

Winter’s next Puppy Pen episode will come out by the end of December.

In the meantime, thank you again for sponsoring Winter!
