I went for a little walk at lunchtime today. I went to St. Anne’s square again but I didn’t spot any dogs so I decided to pop into a shop; I was very restrained and didn’t buy anything! I walked back through St Anne’s square and spotted a very cute little dog that was already getting fussed by a passer by! Rusty is a very cute and friendly boy, he’s very calm and loves getting fussed. He really loves his human mummy and doesn’t like to be apart from her, fortunately it doesn’t happen too often!

I went for a walk to the bottom of my parents street this afternoon and I spotted Fudge and her human from Day 189. Fudge’s human is a dog walker so she was also with Maddie from Day 301 and another very cute Jack Russell called Holly with her. They were also with another dog, a handsome Springer Spaniel called Dexter so I decided to make Holly and Dexter my dogs of he day!

Holly is a rescue dog from Bolton Destitute Animal Shelter, she’s only been with her current humans for 4 months! Holly lives with a Dachshund called Winston who’s her partner in crime!  Holly’s humans were told that she was 2-3 years old but they think she might be much younger. Holly is a little nervous around new dogs but she getting much more confident every day.

Dexter is a very happy dog; he’s very active like a typical Springer Spaniel! He was having a great time playing with Maddie, so cute! It was quite difficult to get a picture of Dexter as he doesn’t keep still, I did get to give him a little stroke though!

I went out at lunchtime today but I didn’t see any dogs about, just loads of people! When I got to Ethan’s nursery I had a quick walk around the block but again no dogs so I had to wait for Tim to get back from work. I headed out into the damp dark night! I didn’t get far when I spotted a dog on the other side of the road so I ran over to say hello but as I got closer I realised it was handsome Buddy from Day 317! I told Buddy’s human that I was on the look out for a dog and she mentioned that her friend lived close by who has a Dogue De Bordeaux so we headed round to say hello!

Izzy is amazing, what a happy, friendly girl! It’s no secret, I love Dogue De Bordeaux’s, all the ones I’ve every met have had such lovely personalities, so smiley, excited and friendly! I gave Izzy lots of fuss, she especially likes having behind her ears stroked! She lent into me so I could give her a good stroke and a cuddle and she didn’t stop smiling the whole time! Izzy is best friends with Buddy, they love each other so much and play all the time. Buddy made sure he gave Izzy plenty of kisses!

I had the day off today so me and Ethan popped to the park this morning to look for a dog. We spotted a very cute and excited Jack Russell so we went over to say hello! As we were talking to Jackson his doggy friend Jake also came to say hello so I decided to make them both my dogs of the day. Between Jackson and Jake’s humans they have 11 dogs! Jackson lives with 5 other dogs and Jake lives with 4; they’re all rescue dogs! Both of the dogs humans work at a vets and both have taken some of the homeless dogs that have brought in, what good people.

Jackson was brought into the vets after he had been ran over. His previous owner was an elderly lady and she couldn’t cope with him after his accident so his current human took him home! He’s a very excited dog, his previous owner didn’t take him out much so he’s making up for lost time! Jackson loves other dogs and people and wants to say hello to everyone!

Jake was brought into the vets as a stray. He’s a lovely boy, he’s quite chilled and he likes a fuss; he looked right into my eyes to say hello! Jake really loves swimming and his human said that it’s made his fur lovely and soft!

The weather has been terrible today I don’t think it’s stopped raining!

I went for a walk around Manchester at lunchtime today but although it was really busy there weren’t any dogs about! I was meeting a couple of friends to go around the Christmas market this evening so after work I headed out around Manchester looking for a dog. Again it was really busy out but I couldn’t spot any dogs! I decided to walk to the Northern Quarter to see if I could spot any dogs there! I popped into a shop and asked one of the staff if he knew of any shops which had a dog; he did and he told me to go around the corner to James Darby Designs.

I headed round the corner to the shop and I was very happy when I spotted a Boxer Dog in the window! Trevor gave me a very warm welcome when I went inside. I was really pleased that James agreed to let me take Trevor’s photo, he’s a lovely doggy. Trevor has a big personality, he’s full of pizazz, I think he’s probably always very excited and smiley! I got to give Trevor lots of fuss, he lent in for bug cuddles and also sat on my knee! Trevor loves going to work with his human daddy every day, he has a big smile on his face every morning.

I went for a walk at lunchtime today but unfortunately I didn’t spot any dogs! It’s dark now by the time I leave work so I decided to message my friend Sabrina to see if I could go round to her house and take a picture of her dog, so I popped round this evening. Amber is a really beautiful Labradoodle but she is very nervous of new people so she wasn’t keen on having her picture taken. Fortunately as Sabrina thought it might be difficult to get a picture of Amber she had already enlisted her dad (who happens to be my former maths teacher) to come round with his very handsome Red Setter!

Duke is a very friendly boy, I don’t think he stops smiling! Duke is the first Red Setter that I’ve had on the blog so I was very happy to meet him. Duke is a rescue dog from Irish Setter Rescue; he was 9 months old when he came to live with his humans. Duke has a sensitive stomach which is why they think he ended up in a rescue centre. Duke loves having a fuss and wants to make friends with any human or dog; he’s best friends with Amber! He likes to lean into people for a good stroke; he also thinks he’s smaller than he is and sits on his humans! Duke’s human niece and nephew are very excited that their Uncle Duke is going to be on the blog!

I went for a little walk at lunchtime today; I went to St Anne’s Square again and spotted a dog straight away but as I got closer I realised that it was Raphael from day 320. I gave him a little stroke! I carried on walking and when I was back on Deansgate I spotted a beautiful Staffie so I went to say hello! Ruby is a beautiful girl, she very smiley and very friendly. She cuddled my hand with both her paws and licked me at the same time, very sweet! Ruby is a rescue dog from Manchester and Cheshire Dogs Home. Her current humans have had her for 5 years; she was in a bad way when she first went to live with them; it took her two years to stop being so nervous around people, she’s happy around people now! Her original name was Maddie but she didn’t respond to that name so they changed it to Ruby; its a good name!

I’ve travelled to Edinburgh today, it’s my first time here, what a beautiful city! Unfortunately it hasn’t stopped raining since I arrived which has hampered my dog searching a little!  I’d just come out of a shop where I bought a much needed umbrella when clever Tim spotted a very handsome French Bulldog; result! I was really pleased to meet lovely Louis and I was very happy when his humans let me take his picture; they were very kind as it meant they had to stand about in the rain! Louis is a very friendly boy, I gave him a good stroke and he lent into my legs for extra good stroking. Louis also made sure that Tim also said hello!

I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to comment yesterday that I’m now in my last month! To be honest I’m amazed that I’ve made it so far!

Almost straight away we spotted a really excited Westie, he was playing fetch and was very happy about it; he even let Ethan throw he ball for him! Ozzy has a lovely kind face, he’s very smiley.

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.
