Firstly what it would be like to have no hands and playing lots of games involving feet only and painting a picture with the brush between their toes. Not Easy!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Week two they couldn&#8217;t hear. So a quiet night playing games using their eyes rather than verbal commands and learning some &#8216;Maketon&#8217; sign language. Thankyou Big Beaver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Week three we had a visit from Peter Smith and his Guide dog Nancie. Peter lost his sight at the age of 60 and to keep his independence had to learn to live with a guide dog to help him. Peter gave a very good talk to the Beavers about everyday life for him now. Answered the Beavers questions, let them stroke Nancie and gave them all a very good story book each called &#8216;Pippa takes the lead&#8217; A story about a puppy who dreams of becoming a guide dog. The Beavers also raised just over \u00a320 to donate to &#8216;Guide Dogs for the Blind&#8217;. Our thanks go to Peter, Nancie and his manager who provided the transport for such an interesting and informative evening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Auntie Beaver<\/p>\n<p><strong>ngg_shortcode_0_placeholder<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHILPOTT BEAVERS WELCOME NANCIE THE GUIDE DOG For the last three weeks Philpott Beavers have been discovering what it might be like to have a disability of some type.
