I’ve had a great day today! I’ve been on a trip to London with work and I got to visit the fantastic Horniman Museum and whilst outside I spotted the most amazing dog called Louie! At first I thought he might be a Leonberger but he’s actually a very handsome Estrela Mountain Dog. I’ve never met a Estrela Mountain Dog before so I was very keen to feature him on my blog! Louie is a really friendly boy and as you can see from the photo’s he’s very friendly! I got to give him lots of strokes, such a gorgeous boy.

What an exciting day!  I was out and about at lunchtime today in Manchester when I spotted a couple walking two gorgeous Puli’s, I couldn’t believe it! Puli’s are amazing, what a super cool breed of dog! The last Puli I saw was my ex-boyfriends when I was 18, quite some time ago now! I really hoped to see one last year during my Year of the Dog so I was really pleased today to see two. Zebbi and Kimba are both beautiful friendly girls, I gave them both a good stroke. They are like celebrities, I wasn’t the only person to stop and take a picture of them, it happens everywhere they go! Zebbi and Kimba are both from Hungry but they are from different breeders. They both get on well with each other for most of the time! They both love snuggles and Kimba likes to rest her head on her humans feet, whilst Zebbi likes to lie on her back with her feet in the air.

I went to the park this afternoon and I couldn’t believe it when I spotted two Neapolitan Mastiff’s! I was very excited, I really wanted to see one last year for my Year of the Dog but unfortunately I didn’t meet any (they are pretty rare), so I couldn’t miss the opportunity to say hello. To make it even more exciting there wasn’t just the two Neapolitan Mastiff’s; their humans also  had two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, two German Shepherds and two Border Terriers with them, they own 9 dogs in total (one was at home)! What a lovely group of dogs they are, I got to give nearly all of them a fuss. One of the Neapolitan Mastiff’s is a little shy so Bella offered her services to pose for me! Bella is a very friendly girl, I gave her lots of strokes! Bella went to live with her current human when she was 2 years old, her previous owners didn’t know what they were taking on and decided they weren’t the right humans for her to live with. She’s very happy with her 8 dog siblings now!

Shortly after I said goodbye to the gorgeous gang of doggies I spotted a Boston Terrier, again another one of my favourite dogs that I don’t get to see very often; happy days! Ollie was with his doggy best pal Teddy, a Maltese and Shih Tzu cross; what a lovely friendly pair.

It’s been 6 days since I completed my Year of the Dog challenge and I’m really missing it! It’s so strange to not have to go and search for a dog every day; I find I’m still constantly on the look out for dogs! I also haven’t even got to stroke a dog for the last 6 days! I was going to pop round to my friends house last night and I would have got to see gorgeous Alfie from Day 113 but she wasn’t very well so I didn’t end up going round! Hopefully I’ll bump in to a dog today!
