The weather has been really terrible today; it’s rained so much! I wanted to go and search for a dog at lunchtime but it was pouring down and I didn’t think there would be many dogs about. By the time I got back to Bolton it had stopped raining but unfortunately it was getting dark. As it wasn’t pitch black I decided that I would pop to the park and I noticed two happy looking dogs in the distance so I went over to meet them. Oscar and Teddy were both very happy and excited, they haven’t known each other for long but they’re already good friends! It was pretty difficult to get them to stay still but finally I managed to get a picture of lovely Oscar, unfortunately the flash has made his eye’s look a bit funny!

I’m working today so I popped to the park on my way to work; I’m lucky that I start work slightly later on a Sunday so it was light by the time I got out! Fortunately it wasn’t raining this morning, I think it might pour down this afternoon. As soon as I got to the park I spotted a really cute little dog so I went over to say hello. Danny is a cross between a Jack Russell and a English Bull Terrier, he’s a very cute combo! Danny is a rescue dog, his current human took him off someone that was mistreating him, this had made Danny a little bit nervous; he’s especially nervous of female dogs.

I’m working this weekend so I headed to the train station and as soon as I arrived I spotted a gorgeous dog on the platform. I just had enough time to say hello before the train arrived. Fortunately I was getting the same train as Helga and her human daddy so I asked if Helga would like to be on my blog! Helga is a Hungarian Wired Haired Vizsla and she’s a lovely girl. I got to stroke her for the whole train journey, I think we might be best friends now! If I stopped stroking her Helga would make a noise telling me to carry on; her human told me that she’s a very chatty girl! Helga is a trained gun dog and her human told me that Vizsla’s are one of the only breeds that hunts, points and retrieves.

I went for a walk to Saint Anne’s Square at lunchtime today in search of a dog and I was really pleased when I spotted a gorgeous trainee Guide Dog! Annie is a lovely girl, she very friendly and enthusiastic, I got to give her a little stroke! Annie has been chosen to become a breeding dog, I imagine she would have the most beautiful puppies! This is the first time that Annie’s humans have done puppy walking; they are a bit nervous about her going, especially her human siblings but fortunately they’ll get to spend Christmas with her!

I had the day off again today so I headed to the park in the morning. I didn’t even have to go as far as the park when I spotted a gorgeous Jack Russell. Enty is a lovely dog, I gave him a good stroke, he’s very friendly! Enty is an old boy now, he’s 15 years old. Enty didn’t have the best start to his life, he was rescued by the Bolton Destitute animal centre  when he was in a bad way; he didn’t have any fur. Enty’s humans took him home when he was 9 months old, at first he wouldn’t look at anyone but having a good loving home means that he now a really happy dog, he loves people and other dogs, especially big ones! Unfortunately Enty got attacked just over a year ago by another dog, he has a big scar across his face and the shock of the attack has meant that Enty is now deaf. Fortunately Enty hasn’t become scared of other dogs and still likes to have a play in the park! Enty’s humans decided to get a dog after one of them had had a serious illness; Enty has really helped to keep them active. Dogs are the best!

I popped to the park this morning and I spotted a lady walking two dogs up ahead. At first I couldn’t tell what breed they we were as they were too far ahead but as  got closer I realised that one of them was a English Bull Terrier; I was really pleased as I haven’t had one on my blog yet. All of the English Bull Terriers that I’ve ever met have been really lovely and Angus was no exception; what a friendly happy boy! I think Angus and his lovely dog step sister Inga didn’t stop smiling when I was with them, what a happy pair!

The weather has been terrible today! It was raining at lunchtime so I decided to wait until the rain stopped before I went in search of a dog. Fortunately there was a break in the rain so I went for a little walk. I didn’t have to go very far down Deansgate when I spotted a lady carrying a really cute Yorkshire Terrier so I went to say hello. Stanley is a really friendly boy, as soon as I gave him a stroke he started hugging my hand; he didn’t want to let go, so cute! Stanley’s human mummy told me that he walks on two legs nearly all of the time, he’s been doing it since he was a puppy; I didn’t get to see it though! Stanley was on a day trip with his human mummy and her friend; Stanley is from Hull.

I went for a little walk at lunchtime today, I was very pleased when I spotted a Bedlington Terrier in Saint Anne’s Square. At first I thought that it might be Larry from Day 282, as they’re a rare breed and I didn’t expect to see another one but todays dog is a lovely boy called Toby! Toby was on a day trip with his humans from Leeds, I think he was enjoying Manchester! Toby is a lovely boy, he was very friendly, I gave him lots of strokes and he licked my hand; he can be a little nervous at times though! Toby’s human’s has always wanted a Bedlington Terrier and who can blame them, what a lovely breed. Toby is a lucky boy and gets to spend every day that his humans are working with his human’s grandparents and their two Border Collies.

I had to walk to the other side of Manchester today so I hoped I would see a dog then but unfortunately not. I didn’t see on the way to the train station either! I had an appointment back in Bolton but I left work earlier enough to get a train that would give me time to look for a dog before my appointment. Unfortunately the train other ideas; there was a point failure I ended up in Wigan! By the time I finally got back to Bolton I didn’t have time to look for a dog before my appointment so I had to go after.

It was pretty late by the time I managed to look for a dog but there was a shop near by which I headed to and I spotted two lovely dogs heading towards the shop. Pippa and Lily are really cute little dogs, Lily is a bit shy so we decided that Pippa should be the Dog of the Day. Pippa and Lily get on but Pippa can sometime get on Lily’s nerves, they’ve got quite different personalities!

Stanley is a really lovely boy, he got quite excited when he first saw me; I got to give him lots of strokes! Staley liked the look of my notepad and tried to give it a little chew.

I’ve been very excited about today, I had arranged to go and meet Lottie a gorgeous Great Dane puppy! I met Lottie at the park a few weeks ago but I’d already found a dog that day so we arranged to meet up again. As soon as I arrived at Lottie’s house she gave me a very warm welcome, I gave her loads of strokes, she’s such a beautiful friendly girl. Lottie loves having cuddles and sitting on her humans knee having a fuss! She came and put her head on my knee a couple of times so I could give her a stroke! Lottie is only 18 weeks old but she’s already pretty big, although she still has her excess skin to grow into! Lottie’s human mummy told me that Lottie’s granddad is the biggest dog she’s every seen; maybe Lottie will grow that big! Lottie lives with 2 Siamese cats, Bow and Tye; she really likes them and sometimes tries to play with them but they’re not as keen! Lottie also has two human brothers.

The weather today has been truly horrible, it’s not stopped raining! As it was raining so hard this afternoon I decided that I would pop to Pets at Home in the hopes I would see a dog there, but again I had no joy so I headed to Jolleys where I’d spotted a dog yesterday. When I got there wasn’t a dog to be seen so I headed home. I had no choice but to go and search in the rain and I didn’t even get down the street before I got splashed by a car! It was pretty quiet about but eventually I spotted a handsome Staffie so I went to say hello. Melvin is a lovely dog, he’s really friendly and I think he might be a bit of a softy; I gave him lots of strokes!
