I’m very happy today! I just got to work when George came in the room to tell me that there was a puppy ‘Sausage Dog’ outside; I moved pretty fast! I met the absolutely gorgeous Mildred, I think I’m a bit in love! She’s so friendly, I ended up having a good cuddle with her! Mildred was very active so I had to get her human mummy to hold her to get a picture. She’s still got puppy excess skin, it’s so cute, look at her paws!

I walked to the train station this morning on the way to work, the weather was pretty horrible so I didn’t have high hopes of spotting a dog and I didn’t! I went for a little walk at lunch time but I didn’t spot any. When I got back to Bolton I walked back home from the train station. I got to right to near my house when I spotted a dog. I went over to say hello and then I realised that is was gorgeous Louis from day 4; my search continued! I carried on walking, I got pretty far without spotting anything.

I was loosing hope and then a spotted a lady walking 2 dogs so I ran up a hill after her. I was very revealed to meet Alfie, he’s lovely and such a well behaved boy! I thought he was a Border Collie but he’s actually a Welsh Sheepdog. Alfie is a bit of a miracle dog. He once swallowed a stick which made a hole in his throat. The vets were very concerned but somehow his throat managed to heal itself!

Lovely Alfie!

I had to wait until after work again today to find a dog! I walked back from nursery pushing my son in the pram so I was pretty sure that I’d find a dog. I spotted a small little dog from afar but then I realised that it was Baily from day 16! I walked a bit further on and met beautiful Bonnie! She’s 11 years old but you wouldn’t think it, she had bags of energy, what a gorgeous dog! Her human mum had already heard about my blog from Keith and Iris that were walking Petra from day 43!

Wow, 50 days, that seems like a bit of a milestone! I was a bit worried that I wasn’t going to find a dog today! I ended up having to work late so I was keen to find a dog in the daytime. I went for a walk at lunchtime and didn’t see any dogs so I went out for a little walk around 5pm in the hope’s of spotting one but again nothing. I had to wait until after work. I walked home from the train station, I was nearly home and it was 8pm and I still hadn’t spotted a dog! I was concerned it wasn’t going to happen but then I spotted a cute little dog approaching on the other side of the road, I was so pleased! I met Pi whose owner tells me is the most unusual dog she’s ever known! He stays in bed until 9.30am every morning, lucky boy! He doesn’t really like playing with other dogs; the only dog he’s ever played with is a Northern Inuit that’s he’s known since he was a puppy.

I didn’t have time to go at lunch time today so I had to go for a little walk when I got home. I popped to the shop but didn’t see any dogs so I went for a walk to the shop but still nothing! It was getting pretty late at this point so I popped round to a neighbour’s house so that I could take a picture of handsome Cassius, a Rottweiler and Great Dane cross. He’s so massive, the picture really doesn’t show his size! He’s a big softy though, he spent most of the time licking my hand and nudging me to stroke him more if I stopped!

The weather is really miserable today, drizzly rain! I didn’t fancy walking round for ages in the rain looking for a dog so I popped into Pets at Home when I got back to Bolton. There were a couple of dogs in the grooming parlour but they weren’t with their owners so I couldn’t take a picture of them. Just as I walked outside of the shop I noticed a lady getting in to a car with a little dog in it so I went over to say hello! I met Missy a very cute Jackadoodle! She was very friendly but a little camera-shy so it was pretty difficult to get a picture of her!

I went for a walk at lunch time today but didn’t spot any dogs, I did bump into my sister though which was very nice!

I parked up near nursery and spotted a very cute dog! I jumped out of the car to say hello to very lovely Petra! Petra’s owner has broken her leg so she was being walked by Iris and Keith. They weren’t 100% sure about some of the questions I asked them about Petra so they very kindly found out some of the info when they dropped her off and rang me up to let me know; thanks Iris and Keith!

I had the day off today so I knew I’d manage to find a dog pretty easily! I went to visit my parents and looked out of the window for a while but didn’t spot any dogs, usually there are loads, so I went for a walk. I only had to walk to the end of their street before I saw a really cute little terrier who was very excited about playing fetch! I went over to say hello. It was pretty hard get a picture of gorgeous Tia as she didn’t want to stop playing fetch, she was barking ‘hurry up with this photo, I want to play’!

Whilst I was with Tia about 10 dogs walked past, including a really cute puppy American bulldog, I hope I see him again!

I’ve often hoped that I would see a dog at the train station and today that happened! I ran past my friend that I happened to bump into saying “there’s a dog over there”. I did manage to give her a quick hug though but there was no time to chat, I had a dog to meet! I had enough time before the train came to meet very lovely Rocky, he’s getting an old boy! He was really gentle and very friendly, we had a little hug! He was also very well-behaved on the train! Rocky is a rescue dog from Manchester Dogs home.

Back to work for me today. I didn’t have time to go and look for a dog at lunchtime so I knew I’d have to go for a walk in the dark! I headed to the local shop which is proving to be a very good dog hot spot! I spotted a really smiley looking big dog and so went to say hello! Roxie was very pretty, she didn’t stop smiling the whole time! She wags her tail quite a lot too; there’s no more ornaments in her house now as they’ve all been wagged off the shelves!
