100 days, can you believe it!

I went for a little walk at lunchtime and as the weather was so nice I decided I’d eat in the park. I bumped into colleagues from work which was nice! Anyway I spotted a very cute Chihuahua on the other side of the park so I ran over to say hello! Bombon is very sweet but also a little bit shy!

Just as I was taking pictures of lovely Glen yesterday I spotted a very handsome Old English Bulldog; sooo gorgeous! I asked his human mummy if she would be able to meet up with me today so that I could take his picture and she said yes, very happy! It was pretty nice knowing that I had a dog lined up today so I didn’t have to go searching at dinnertime, I did happen to walk past about 5 dogs though!

After work myself, Ethan and my Dad went for a walk down the street to meet up with lovely Bentley! He’s such a lovely dog with bags of character; basically everyone that walks past him wants to say hello! You can’t really tell from the picture but Bentley is quite big considering he’s only 7 months old!

Bentley is a rescue dog. His breeder took him to the vets to have him put down as a young puppy because he had cherry eye even though the condition is very treatable. Luckily Bentleys Human mum’s daughter works in the vets and rang her mum to ask is they could give Bentley a home; the answer was yes! Who wouldn’t, he’s great!

Gorgeous Bentley!

I went to my parents house with Ethan and as the weather was nice we went for a little walk. We didn’t go far when we bumped into a very handsome Border Collie called Glen. I’ve met Glen before as he lives with Millie from day 73 (she’s in the background). Glen is little bit shy with new people so it was difficult to get close to him to get a good photo! Glen is a rescue dog.

I went for a trip to a wildlife park called Brockholes today. I thought I’d have no trouble there finding a dog there until my husband informed me that dogs aren’t allowed!

When I got home a did a bit of gardening in the front garden and kept a look out for any dogs. I was very pleased when I spotted a very cute Pug; I really love Pug’s, they have so much pizazz! Roxy was no exception, she’s a very happy girl! Roxy is also very clever and can do a number of tricks; she showed me roll over and shake a paw!

Happy Roxy!

I had another easy day in terms dog hunting! Today I met up with a very handsome Curly Coated Retriever called Hector. Hectors human mummy Kirstin is the human daughter of Muffin and Jake’s (day 68) human mum; she got in touch after I met Muffin and Jake and so we got chance to meet up today! Hector is a very friendly handsome boy, he’s massive too, you can’t really tell how big he is by the picture! He also came along to the park with Muffin and Jake; it was very nice to see them again! They’re all really sweet together, at one point I was stroking all 3 of them!

Hector is a rescue dog, he was left abandoned tied up to a lamppost. I can’t understand why people do that. He’s such a lovely dog, I’m really pleased he’s got a good home now!

I had the day off today so we planned to trip to Quarry Bank Mill. Since doing my blog I’ve made friends with Cooper the Dog on twitter; he doesn’t live that far away from Quarry Bank Mill so we arranged to meet up! Cooper is a very friendly dog, sooo happy! I think pretty much every person that walked past him wanted to stroke him and say hello! It was nice that I was able to spend a little bit more time than usual taking lots of pictures, to be honest I’ve found it quite difficult deciding which one to chose; that’s why I’ve chosen two! Cooper’s human dad showed me a video of Cooper walking up the stairs; he really enjoys walking up the stairs but he finds it quite hard as he’s only got little legs and then he can’t get back down! Cooper is a proud member of the Zombie Squad!

Ethan was little shy when he first met Cooper, he’d only just woken up but Cooper has definitely made an impression on him; he’s been taking about him all afternoon!

Gorgeous Cooper!

Lizzie has been in the local newspaper wearing a Manchester City Football club strip!

Yeah, it didn’t rain today! I went for a little walk at dinner time and it didn’t take long before I spotted a very handsome Cocker Spaniel. Eddie was very nice, he was very friendly but got quite shy when I got my camera out! It took a bit of bribery to get some of the shots as you can see in the picture below! Apparently Eddie is always camera shy!
