Year of the Dog Day 201

I went to Chester Zoo today for Ethan’s’ birthday, we had a great day out! One of the animals we saw was a bush dog, I’ve never seen one before, they were mega cute, but not my dog of the day!

When I got back to Bolton I went to visit my parents and then went for a little walk down there street. I ended up seeing Loki from Day 128, Poppy from Day 140, Jack from Day 152 and Holly from Day 7. It was very nice to see them all but I was worried I wouldn’t spot any different dogs! I had to walk a little further than usual when I spotted a really smiley, friendly, beautiful dog. Tia was running with one of her dog sisters when she came over to say hello, she’s a very friendly girl! She had a big smile on her face the whole time I was with her, she has a lovely nature! Tia is a rescue dog. She had belonged to someone that ran a pub but they left her behind when they left. She was originally taken in by one of her humans neighbours but they had another dog that was picking on her so she went to live in her current home. Tia has 4 dog sisters, they were all having lots of fun together!

Year of the Dog Day 198

I went out at lunchtime today but I didn’t spot any dogs so I went for a walk to the park this evening. I spotted a couple walking 3 dogs so I went over to say hello. They were all very nice but I thought that it would be too difficult to get a picture of all of them so I decided to make handsome Max a Border Collie my dog of the day. Max is 19 years old, I believe he’s now the oldest dog to appear on my blog so far! He’s a bit deaf now and he’s not as fast as he used to be but he’s a lovely boy! He cuddled into me for a nice stroke and cuddle! Max lives with Kiara a Patterdale Terrier and Pippa an American Bulldog, they’re both very excited dogs and they all get on really well!

I went for a stroll to the park and I spotted a very excited King Charles Cavalier Spaniel up ahead. Her little tail was wagging non stop! They were quite a way ahead so I had to run a bit to catch them! Bonnie is a very beautiful and friendly girl, she cuddled into me straight away and talked to me the whole time, she’s such a cutie! Bonnie was being walked by her human dads girlfriend; she told me that her boyfriend loves Bonnie loads!

I’m really busy this week in work so I haven’t had chance to go and look for a dog at lunchtime.

I was very lucky and as soon as I got to my car I spotted a lady walking a very cute Shih Tzu. Marvin is very sweet, he came over to say hello and I gave him a little stroke!

I didn’t have to worry about finding a dog today as I had already arranged to meet a puppy Dachshund called Walter. We were going to meet at Pennington Flash but I ended up getting a bit lost, even with the satnav! I managed to find my way to a pub which was close by so Walter’s humans came and met me there. It wasn’t until a left that I realised Pennington Flash was actually directly across the road from the pub, what a dope!

Unfortunately the heavens opened this afternoon, it was raining so much that I ended up taking picture of Walter in the car, its the first time I’ve done that! Walter is a real cutie, such a friendly boy, I got to give him lots of strokes and also got to have a cuddle!

It’s been a lovely sunny day today! I went for a walk at lunchtime and sat in a park for a while but I didn’t spot any dogs. When I arrived back in Bolton I spotted a really handsome looking dog at the top of the station so I went to say hello. I met gorgeous Taz a German Shepherd and Husky cross. Taz is a rescue dog from Bleakholt animal sancuary. He’s 11 years old but his current human daddy has only had him since last August. Sadly in September Taz was diagnosed with cancer in his tail which he’s had to have removed. They then discovered a cancerous lump in his ear which he has just had removed this week, he still has the stitches bless him! He was in really good spirits though, what a lovely boy. Taz’s human had a really hard year last year so he decided that he needed to get another dog; he told me that Taz has rescued him! Taz is a really lovely friendly dog, he gave me a little kiss and I stroked his tummy! Taz’s human is also great, what a really friendly man, it was a real pleasure to meet him!

It’s been miserable weather today, lots of rain; I definitely didn’t wear the right shoes today! When I got back to Bolton I went home to get my raincoat and some different shoes and headed out to the park! I was pretty worried that I wouldn’t spot any dogs, it was really quiet! Fortunately after I’d been there for about five minutes I spotted a lady with a Westie  up on the fields. They were heading out of the park so I had to move pretty quickly to catch them!

The lovely Westie I met was gorgeous Daisy. She was with her human Grandma who’s looking after her whilst her humans are away! Daisy is very cute and looked like she’s really enjoyed her walk in the rain!

Myself and my friends Jen and Rebecca went climbing tonight. We were all had on our dog spotting eyes on the way there but unfortunately didn’t see any!
