Me and Ethan went to Smithills Farm today, we had a great time. We got to see a baby donkey, piglets, cows, reindeers, two European eagle owls and many more great animals! I also got to see beautiful Lady the farm dog! I was hoping I would see a farm dog as I have had one on my blog yet! Lady is very friendly and gets to say hello to all of the visitors to the farm. She gets to run free all day keeping an eye on what’s going on in the farm and saying hello to all of the other farm animals. Lady has bad eye site so she doesn’t round up any sheep but she does enjoy rounding up the donkeys! When I first saw Lady I didn’t manage to get a good photo but fortunately I saw her a couple of times during my visit so I got to take a few more. I also got to give her a little stoke and even tickled her tum! Lady is friends with two other farm dogs, a German Shepherd and a Jack Russell.

Beautiful Lady!

I didn’t get chance to go out at lunchtime today so I planned to pop to the park after work. As I was approaching the park I spotted a Schnauzer, I was  pretty excited as I really like Schnauzers so I went over to say hello. Unfortunately the Schnauzers human didn’t want me to take his picture, gutted!

I went for a little walk round the park and it was pretty  quiet, I though I might have to search elsewhere when I spotted a Jack Russell up on the field, I had to run a bit to catch them up! I met very cute Sally. Sally is a little nervous of new people but it didn’t take long before we made friends, I ended up getting a little kiss! Sally is a rescue dog. Her humans spotted a school kid carrying her, she had just found her wondering the street, she was only 2 months old and was skin and bones so her humans took her home!

I spotted a couple of dogs this morning including a Boston Terrier but I was having breakfast inside the Tate Modern so I didn’t manage to go out and meet them! I thought I might see one at the train station but I didn’t today so I popped to the park when I got back home. I spotted my neighbour with beautiful Lady from Day 1 (you can see her in the background of the photo) and Cassius from Day 47, I gave them both a little stoke. My neighbour then introduced me to Meg a lovely Border Collie cross. Meg is very nice, she’s really friendly and I gave her lots of fuss! Meg is a rescue dog from Manchester Dogs Home, her human daddy got her when she was 2 years old.

I’ve travelled to London today to meet up with some friends. I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to spot a dog in central London as I haven’t been since I’ve been doing my blog but as it turned out I spotted a lovely dog at Manchester Piccadilly train station!

Freddy is a very handsome, friendly Cocker Spaniel. He’s very active, he hardly kept still! Freddy was going on a trip with his human mummy, sister and brother, I hope they have a good time! When people come to his house Freddy put his ear in his mouth and carries it to the front door to greet people, how sweet!

I went out at lunchtime today but the weather wasn’t great and I didn’t spot any dogs! I went to my parents after work with Ethan so I went for a little walk down the street. I bumped into gorgeous Bentley and his human mummy again and so we walked down the street together. We then bumped into handsome Loki too! I then spotted a very happy looking Border Collie up ahead so I dashed ahead to meet him! Alfie is a very friendly boy, he jumped up to say hello straight away! Alfie used to belong to his current humans daughters friends but they didn’t have enough time to look after him so he went to live in his current home. He goes for lots of long walks every day, he loves it and really loves fetching his ball, he can run really fast! Alfie does a strange thing, every time his humans answer the phone he jumps up high in the air, as high as their shoulders! They think he might do it for attention!

I didn’t have much time to find a dog today! I’d arranged to meet a friend for tea so I only had 45 minutes from when I got home from work to find a dog, get home and get ready. I went for a walk to the park and spotted a happy Yorkshire Terrier in the field but then I realised that it was lovely Bobby from day 90! I got to give him a little stroke and his human daddy told me about a 6 month old Basset Hound they’d just seen, I want to see a puppy Basset Hound! I walked a bit further and I saw two very cute little dogs so I went over to say hello to Bob and Flo. They are both very friendly and Bob is full of personality! Flo is a little bit more shy but she’s very sweet! Bob and Flo have just been spoilt by their humans grandchildren, they’ve had lots of treats.

I had to take the car into the garage this morning and fortunately as me and Ethan  were waiting outside we spotted two absolutely gorgeous Basset Hounds walking on the other side of the road. I totally love Basset Hounds so I couldn’t miss out on going to say hello! Alfie and Bill are both wonderful friendly girls (they have boys names but they are both girls!). It was pretty difficult getting the picture today, not really because the dogs wouldn’t keep still but because Ethan wouldn’t! Alfie and Bill also live with a Chihuahua, even though the Chihuahua is small she’s top dog in the house! Alfie and Bill are both the same age but are from different litters.

Ethan had a sports day today, he did very well! After we got home from nursery (after another kind parent jump started my car) we went for a little walk to the park. We spotted a man walking two lovely dogs, a Scottie dog and a Westie. The handsome Scottie was a bit scared of Ethan and so wouldn’t come near us but Sandy the Westie was happy to come and say hello! Sandy is a very friendly girl and her human told me that she’s very clever; Sandy is in charge! Sandy is currently pregnant, she expecting three puppies, I want one!
