I popped to the park after work today but it seemed pretty quiet at first. I walked past a really cute Jack Russell but it’s owner was on the phone so I couldn’t stop him! I walked a bit further on and spotted a lovely looking dog across the field so I went over to say hello! I met beautiful Ellie a very friendly Briard. Ellie lives with another Briard called Deifer who’s 8 years old who she follow around all of the time! They go for separate walks as it can be hard work taking the two of them! Ellie enjoys playing hide and seek with her human mummy, she’ll hide behind trees until Ellie finds her!

I was invited to Laila’s (from day 62) birthday party today so I knew I’d see plenty of dogs but on the way there I spotted at Saint Bernard! I was soooo excited, everyday I hope I’ll see a Saint Bernard! I had to get my husband to pull over in the car and I ran out to say hello. I met very beautiful Ruby, she’s such a lovely girl. I got to give her lots of strokes and she sat on my feet to make sure I couldn’t move and so could carry on stroking her! To be fair it’s pretty hard to move a Saint Bernard off you! Ruby lives in the Tansy Green pub and so she gets lots of fussing from the locals. She make herself at home and sits on the seats next to the customers and she’s also been know to steal some Guiness! Ruby’s human dad has told me that the movie Beethoven is pretty much what it’s like having a Saint Bernard; you have to make sure you don’t leave the toilet seat up! Ruby is also a mum and once had a litter of 7 puppies. Unfortunately Ruby has since been diagnosed with epilepsy and has to take medication every day; she leads a full and happy life though!

Laila’s birthday party was lots of fun and I got to see lots of lovely dogs including a Grey Whippet, a Westie, Alfie from day 113 and a puppy Boxer; all in all a very good day!

Beautiful Ruby!

I had the day off today so I went for a walk with Ethan and my husband round the park. It didn’t take long until we bumped into a beautiful little dog called Foxy. She was with a lovely Staffie called Tilly who she lives with. Foxy was rescued from her previous owners who used to keep her in a cage all day, poor girl! She’s happy now in her loving home!

I really wanted to spot a dog in the day time today as I’m stretched for time this evening but I didn’t spot any! Manchester seemed really quiet today!

By the time I left work it was absolutely pouring down so I went to Pets at Home on the way home hoping I’d spot a dog, there were none! I picked up Ethan from nursery and decided I’d drive round to my parents so that I could pop round to their neighbours house and take a picture of very handsome Loki! I’ve known Loki since he was a very cute puppy; he’s massive now! He was very excited that I’d come round and did lots of tricks! Loki’s human mummy told me about a time when the window cleaners came round the back of the house but forgot to check if Loki was about. Loki came bounding out of the house to see who was there but as he’s so massive they were terrified and one jumped over the fence and the other climbed up the ladder! He’s a big softy really!

Handsome Loki!

I drove to the polling station after work today to vote. As it happens the polling station is opposite a park so I thought I’d go there after I voted! I couldn’t believe the size of the queue to vote, it was massive! There were a couple of dogs in the queue to vote but I would have lost my place if I went to say hello to them and by the time I’d finished their owners were due to go in! As soon as I walked out of the polling station I spotted a very cute Border Terrier so I went over to say hello! Macie is very cute and friendly but she’s not very keen on having her photo taken!

I had the day off today and so I took Ethan to Pets at Home to have a little look at the rabbits and fish; he loves it! Whilst we were in there we bumped into a lady with 4 dogs, 2 were hers and she was looking after the other 2 whilst their parents were at work! I took a picture of very friendly Lola, a very happy Jack Russell! Lola lives with another lovely Jack Russell called Rodney and a cat called Lucy. Lola and Lucy play with each other all of the time chasing each other, Lola will walk round with Lucy handing off her! Lola also likes having a good chat!

I was gutted today having to work on a bank holiday! Right at the end of the day my colleagues came running up to me to let me know there was a cute Dachshund outside! I ran to the door to have a look, it was beautiful Mildred from day 53!

When I got home I went for a walk with Ethan and my husband and it didn’t take long before we spotted possibly the most excited dog I’ve ever met! Millie is a really cute Jack Russell. She was so excited that I don’t think she was still for a single second! She really liked Ethan and was very keen to say hello to him! Millie’s human mum wanted to get a dog and told her husband that it was a choice between a puppy or a baby; her husband came home with a puppy! Millie gets to go to work with her human daddy every day which she loves.

I was working today so I went for a little walk at lunchtime with a colleague to look for a dog but we didn’t spot any so I popped to the park after work! I spotted 3 dogs all pretty close together so I went to say hello to a very cute King Charles Cavalier Spaniel who was carrying a tennis ball in her mouth! She was very keen on the tennis ball and wouldn’t drop it for the photo, she looks really sweet with it! She didn’t stop wagging her tail the whole time!

I was out and about in Manchester today so I hoped I’d find a dog quite easily! I was in the northern quarter when I spotted a very cute Cocker Spaniel so I went over to say hello but unfortunately they didn’t want to take part!

Later on my colleague spotted a very cute dog on the high street and fortunately they said yes to being involved! Lady is very lovely, she’s a very friendly dog! I got to give her lots of strokes! She loves having lots of cuddles!

I decided to pop to the park after I picked up Ethan from nursery today to go on a  dog hunt; but first thing first we went on the swings for a good half an hour! I finally persuaded him to come and look for a dog with me. It was pretty quiet on the dog front; I was thinking I’d need to go to a different park but then eventually I spotted a very happy looking dog! Bob was very friendly, Ethan enjoyed chasing round after him!

Bob is a rescue dog from Leigh Dogs and Cats Home, http://leighdogsandcatshome.co.uk/. Bob’s human dad is a runner and some friends of his suggested that he get a dog that can go running with him. They decided they’d go and find a rescue dog! Originally they were thinking they would get a Whippet but they fell in love when they saw Bob!

It’s a really small world though! After they rescued Bob they went for a walk round Heaton park when they noticed a couple pointing at Bob and talking about him! The couple asked them if they’d rescued him from Leigh Dogs and Cats home which they had! It turned out that couple were the ones that found Bob, he was skin and bones and they took him to the rescue centre! They also then bumped into their friends that had suggested getting a dog and it tuned out that they know the couple that found Bob!

Lovely Bob!
