Year of the Dog Day 181

/ leonardliza79 / 2 Comments

I wanted to go out at lunchtime today to find a dog as I had plans tonight, but I didn’t end up having time! I hoped I would have chance as I arrived to nursery but unfortunately my train was cancelled and the next one delayed so I didn’t have time!

Myself and my friends Jen and Rebecca went climbing tonight. We were all had on our dog spotting eyes on the way there but unfortunately didn’t see any! We didn’t leave the climbing centre until 9.30pm so I thought I might struggle to find a dog. Fortunately my friend Rebecca has a dog so we popped round to her house on the way home, thank you Rebecca! This is the first time that I’ve met Tyler, she’s beautiful! She was very excited to see us all, her tail wagged the whole time and she didn’t stop smiling! She’s a very clever girl and can do many tricks, she was also very good posing for her photos!

I’ve now made it to 6 months for my blog, just another 6 to go!

I went to Jodrell Bank today and I hoped I might see a dog there but unfortunately they can’t have dogs in the grounds! On the way home I stopped off at the usual park and spotted a couple getting 3 dogs out of their car so I went over to say hello. I decided to take a photo of just one of the dogs as I hope I might see them all again! Woody was the first of the dogs to come up and say hello so I’ve made him my dog of the day! Woody is a very friendly Yellow Labrador, what a lovely boy! He gets on very well with his 2 dog housemates Tarka who is 17 years old and Molly.

I went for a little walk at lunchtime today but I didn’t spot any dogs. After I’d been back in work for about 10 minutes I noticed a couple with a very cute Jack Russell have their photograph taken outside so I went over to say hello!

I went for a walk at lunchtime today and on my way back to work I spotted an amazing dog on the other side of the road, so as soon as it was safe I ran across the road! Snoop is a cross between a Dachshund and Basset Hound; what a great combination! Snoop is a very friendly boy and he’s also very chatty, he talked the whole time I was there! Snoop really loves human company, he gets anxious if he’s on his own so he goes to work with his humans every day, lucky boy! Snoop loves human company so much he thinks he is human! He has a dog bed which he won’t use, instead he sleeps in one of his humans beds!

I had a meeting on the other side of Manchester today but I didn’t spot any dogs whilst on my travels! I was going to walk around the block when I got to Ethan’s nursery but it started pouring down so I gave that a miss! Fortunately by the time my husband got back from work it had stopped raining so I didn’t need to get wet! I spotted a dog pretty much as soon as I got to the park. I met very lovely Toby, he was very excited and happy! The humans that were with Toby are looking after him for a week for the lady’s sister in law so they weren’t 100% sure on all of the details! The lady’s grandkids were very excited about looking after him, I think he’s going to get very spoilt this week!

I popped out at lunchtime today and didn’t have to go very far before I spotted a dog walking on the other side of the road. I made a dash for it and met very cute Arnie, a puppy French Bulldog. I know I say this all the time but I really do love French Bulldogs! Arnie’s fur is really soft and he still has some excess skin to grow in to, so cute! He’s a really friendly boy, I got to give him lots of strokes! Arnie’s human dad works at Close barbers in Manchester and he gets to come to work with him every day; all of the customers must love him! Arnie also has his very own Instagram account; Arnie_FrenchBulldog.

Myself, Ethan and my husband took a stroll to the park this afternoon and just as we arrived at the playground I spotted a really cute Long Haired Dachshund tied to the railings. I looked around the park trying to work out who the dogs human might be, I guessed it was a lady who was pushing her grandkids on a swing near by so I went over to say hello; I guessed right! The beautiful Dachshund is called Lottie. She’s a really friendly girl, I got to give her lots of strokes! She loves spending time with people, especially her human mummy’s grandkids. Lottie is also a bit of a chatter box, she had a good long conversation with me! She especially likes talking in the car and when she’s at home she makes a funny noise if she feels she’s not getting enough attention! Lottie once a litter of 5 puppies. They were going to keep one of them but Lottie let the puppy walk all over her and it ate all of her food.

We travelled back home from Weymouth today; we were stuck in traffic for most of the way, it took an age to get home! Fortunately I knew I’d have no trouble finding a dog today as there’s always loads at service stations; someone could do a blog on service station dogs! As soon as we drove into the car park I spotted a French Bulldog, I was very pleased, I think they’re great! Finn is a very handsome and friendly boy, I got to give him lots of strokes! Finn’s humans have previously had Boxer dogs but wanted to go for something smaller and so the chose a French Bulldog! They said when they went to pick him up he looked a bit funny and had a wonky eye! He just sat there and looked at them and they fell in love. He definitely doesn’t have a wonky eye now!

I had a great day out at Monkey World and the Tank museum today. I saw a baby Orangutan, sooooo cute! On the way back we stopped off at Lulworth Cove, it was very beautiful and I was pretty sure that I’d spot some dogs there! I was in luck and met a very cute and extremely excited Cocker Spaniel called Alfie. He’d just been for swim in the sea and was then very happy to chase his ball around; he has bags of energy!

I’m currently on holiday in Dorset and I’m very excited about all of the dogs I’m going to see! I wonder if I’ll see different breeds; is there a North/ South doggy divide?!

I went into Weymouth today and pretty much as soon as I walked into the town centre I spotted a really handsome looking dog. I met gorgeous Derek, what a friendly boy he is! I got to have a little bit of a cuddle with him, he’s very nice! Derek is a Labradoodle. His mum is a Fox Red Labrador which you can see from the lovely colour of his coat and his dad is a Miniature Poodle; I’m not really sure how that worked! Derek has a doggy passport and travels to France regularly, lucky boy!

I’ve been travelling today and had hopes that I would spot a nice dog at the service station, I was in luck! I spotted two really cute dogs, a Basset Hound and another dog I didn’t recognise! Although they look completely different in turns out that they are both a type of Basset Hound! Hermione is a Basset Griffon Vendeen. I hadn’t heard of the breed but Hermione’s human daddy informed me that they’re very rare with only a handful of breeders in the country. They both make a really cute duo, I don’t think they stopped wagging their tails! They get lots of attention, everyone wants to stop to stroke them and who can blame people, Basset Hounds are amazing! I genuinely didn’t stop smiling when I was looking through the photos I took of them, they’re both brilliant!
