I was off today so I popped to the park with my little boy. I saw quite a few dogs when we first arrived but the swings took priority! After lots of fun on the slide and the swings we went for a little walk on a dog hunt and it didn’t take us long to spot Jack. Jack was very excited by everything, he was very happy when he spotted a cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Yorkshire Terrier! It took a while to get Jack to keep still as he was soooo excited. I managed to get this shot with bribery of a treat!

My son Ethan just said the cutest thing! He was upstairs with his Dad for bath time and asked where mummy was? His dad replied “she’s downstairs doing her dog blog”. Ethan said “I’m going to do a dog blog; I’m going to take pictures of dinosaurs!”

I didn’t get chance to look for a dog at lunchtime today so I planned to have a walk around the block when I got to nursery. I was lucky and as soon as I parked up I spotted a lovely Westie and so I went over to say hello. Willow was very excited, she didn’t keep still bless her; I was pretty lucky to get a good picture!

I went out at lunchtime but it was a bit miserable and I didn’t spot any dogs.

I popped to the park after work and I saw Bella from day 72, she was very happy chasing her ball! I walked a bit further on and spotted a very handsome Border Collie called Buddy. He’s such a friendly boy and was very excited! He loves running around and  chasing his ball and would literally carry on until he couldn’t stand anymore if they let him! Buddy has his own Facebook page. Buddy lives with two other dog friends!

I couldn’t decide which picture I liked best so I put both on!

The sunshine is my friend! I was working again today so popped out at lunchtime and again I bumped into a dog straight away. Today I met the very friendly and smiley Dolly, look at her beautiful smile, she’s got so much personality! Dolly is named after Dolly Parton, good choice, I love Dolly Parton! Dolly was being walked by some friends of her owner but they know her very well, they obviously like her very much and who can blame them!

I’ve been working today so I went for a little walk at lunchtime in search of dog. I didn’t have to walk for very long when I spotted a very cute Chihuahua wearing a very fashionable jacket, he won’t leave the house without his coat on! Casper was very friendly and had lots of personality! Casper’s current owners haven’t had him for long, his previous owners were Spanish so he’s in the process of learning English! Casper is afraid of Geese, I suppose they must look massive to him!

I had to walk to the other side of town for a meeting today so I was hopeful that I would see a dog but unfortunately I didn’t spot any!

I went for a walk around the  block when I arrived at Ethan’s nursery but again nothing! I decided to pop to the park with Ethan and have a look. Usually when I’ve had Ethan with me he’s been in his pram or trike or I’ve had someone else with me so I was a bit worried that he might run off as I’m trying to get a picture but he was a really good boy!

I met very handsome Rocky! He’s such a well behaved boy, he sat whilst I took his picture and I managed to get a shot of him shaking his paw! Rocky was rescued by his current owner. His previous owner died and he was left in the back garden on his own without food for over 24 hours. His current owner heard about his plight and rescued him; they’re best friends now!

I had a friend staying over this weekend so me, him and Ethan went for a walk to the park to have a go on the swings and keep an eye out for a dog whilst my husband waited for the shopping! We didn’t walk for very long when I spotted 3 dogs, one was very Handsome Mason from day 14 and his sister (I don’t think they’re actually blood related, I’m not sure!) Mika, another gorgeous Akita. She’s very friendly and well behaved, she sat still whilst I took a number of pictures!

I had the day off today but it was jammed packed doing productive things around the house so I didn’t get out for my dog search until a bit later! Fortunately it was still light so I popped to the park. It didn’t take me long before I spotted a very nice Rottweiler so I went over to say hello. Bella was very happy to be in the park and chasing her ball, she can jump really high! Bella’s human mum is pregnant at the moment and so Bella is making sure she’s looking after her!

I worked late tonight so I made sure I went out at lunchtime for a walk but I didn’t spot any dogs. I took a break in the afternoon and went for little walk around the block but I still didn’t spot any! I didn’t get back to Bolton until 8pm, it was dark and raining, booooo! I’ve got to be honest, I felt a little disheartened on my way home! I got in the car and drove to the shop where I’ve spotted many dogs before. Just as I pulled in I saw a very cute Yorkshire Terrier so I went over to say hello, I’m a happy girl again! Benji was very friendly and very excited; so excited that he couldn’t keep still! I only  managed to get one picture in focus. It’s not my best picture but I think you can still see how cute he is!

The weather has been miserable today! I had the day off today so I decided to go rounds to my parents house and then go on a search for a dog, but it wouldn’t stop raining! I waited for the rain to be not quite so heavy and went for a walk and spotted a very handsome Border Collie called Rocky. It was quite difficult to get a good picture of Rocky though, he wouldn’t keep still!

I just turned onto the street where I park to pick up my little boy from nursery when I spotted a very nice Cocker Spaniel so I parked up and went over to say hello! I met very cute Harvey, he was little nervous though, he’s always a little shy with strangers! I did manage to give him a little stoke though and I’m not sure you can tell from the picture but he a had a very cute little smile on his face!

I had a great start to the day, I found Dylan my dog of the day as soon as I got out of the car in Salford. They were walking just ahead in the opposite direction to my work but I had enough time to go say hello! Although Dylan is traditionally a boys name today’s Dylan is a lovely girl! Her human mum and dad aren’t sure why she’s called Dylan as she’s a rescue dog and Dylan was the name she already had! It was rainy this morning so Dylan is a bit wet, she looks very cute though!

I met beautiful Molly today! I was walking through Manchester when I spotted her on the other side of the road, she looked amazing so I had to go and say hello! Molly is such a friendly girl, I got to give her lots of fuss! She also got lots of attention from passers by, nearly everyone that walked past said “awww, what an amazing dog!”. Molly used to belong to her current human daddy’s friend but they moved abroad and so her current owners took her in; who can blame them, she’s gorgeous!

I went for a little stroll to the village at lunchtime today, people have told me that there is usually people walking dogs round there but I hadn’t made it up there yet. I wasn’t disappointed, as soon as I got there I saw a beautiful Black Labrador. Meg was being walked by two people but they weren’t her owners, Meg was their bosses dog; they’re allowed to take their dogs to work with them! How amazing is that, I’m so jealous! They were telling me that just over a year ago they decided to trial having a bring your dog to work day and it worked so well that people can bring in their dogs any day. They have around 10 office dogs. Unsurprisingly morale is very high where they work! Meg has a sister called Sweep, another Black Labrador!

I went for a drive to Horwich today to take my son to the hairdressers and as we were parking up I spotted a lady training a guide dog so I went over to say hello. I wasn’t sure if they’d be able to stop but fortunately they could so I got to say hello to beautiful Thelma. Thelma is still a trainee guide dog, she’s in the last part of her training though and only has 2 months to go, what a clever girl! Thelma is sooo gentle and obviously very well behaved, she was one of the easiest dogs so far to get a photo of!

Since I’ve started my blog I’ve wanted to see a guide dog, they’re so amazing! The work they do is so fantastic, dogs really are incredible! To find out more about guide dogs follow the link below.
