I was out and about with work today and on my way back I spotted a couple walking 3 very cute dogs up ahead, so I dashed after them! I met Buddy, Maisy and Franky 3 gorgeous dogs! They get on really well and all sleep together with Buddy usually lying on top of the other two! It was pretty difficult to get a good picture of all three of them, Buddy was very active, he doesn’t keep still!

I went out at lunch today and sat in the park but didn’t see any dogs! I must have only just missed some though as my boss had been in the same  park just before me and spotted two! I had to go to a meeting on the other side of town later in the day and spotted a couple of cute dogs but I didn’t have time to stop! When I got back to Bolton I popped to the usual park and went for a little walk round. I did a bit of a double take when I spotted a very cute little dog having a ride on the back of a bike! Alfie is very cute, he’s a little bit weary of strangers at first though but I did manage to give him a little stroke!

I went out at lunchtime today but there were no dogs! On the way home I popped to the park but there was no room in the car park so I drove to another small park; there were no dogs there! I parked up at home and then went out on foot! I really wanted to find a dog quickly as it looked like it was going to pour down! I was in luck, as soon as I walked into the park I spotted a lady running with her very cute Jack Russell. Fortunately she didn’t mind stopping for me to take lovely Jessie’s picture! Jessie is a lovely friendly girl, it took a while to get a picture because every time I stood back from her she came running up again to get a stroke! She almost instantly lay on her back so I could tickle her tum! Jessie enjoys going running with her human mummy, she’ll run up to 5km and she’s climbed almost every mountain I the Lakes!

I was working today so I went out for a little walk at lunchtime. Pretty much as soon as I left work I spotted a very cute dog so I went over to say hello! Mac is a Lhasa Apso; I’m not sure I’ve ever met one before! Mac is an international traveller! He has a doggy passport so that he can live in Portugal for 4 months of the year; very nice! He enjoys sitting on the marina watching the world go by! Mac has featured in a blog before; his groomer in Portugal put a picture of him on her blog. He’s a friendly boy!

I went out for lunch today with my friend and spotted a dog on our way out of M&S. I went over to say hello to the chap with the dog and we both realised that we had met each other before! He works for the company that has ‘bring your dog to work day’ every Friday! Meg from day 65 wasn’t with him today, instead he was taking Romeo a very handsome Cocker Spaniel for a walk. Romeo belongs to the CEO of the company but he often stays with his human friend when his human dad is away! Romeo is a very friendly boy, very cute! I’m told that there were 5 dogs in the office that day, so amazing! I’m not sure I’d get much work done if there were dogs in work though, I’d be far too distracted! Over the year I might manage to take a picture of all the office dogs!

I had to pop to Afflecks Palace today for work so I was pretty hopeful that I’d spot a dog in the Northern Quarter! I was in luck and on my way back to work I spotted and extremely handsome White German Shepherd called Ambrose. To be honest I didn’t know you could get white German Shepherds before! Interestingly White German Shepherds were disqualified from the German Shepherd Dog club in 1933 when the Nazis came to power! Ambrose is a very chatty and friendly boy, he was talking to us the whole time! Ambrose lives with two cats but the don’t always get on that well! Ambrose’s human grandparents have a massive Saint Bernard; I was shown a picture of the two together and believe it or not Ambrose looked small next him!

Poppy lives on the same street as my parents so I’ve met her before; she’s a really friendly and happy girl! She made sure she said hello to all of the family. She was really good with Ethan and let him tickle her! Poppy has two human sisters and they all love each other very much! She recently entered a dog show contest for the dog with the waggiest tail but she kept sitting down when the judges came to meet her! Her human sister was very upset that she didn’t win!

I didn’t get a lot of time to look for a dog during lunch today so I planned to go when my husband got back from work. Luckily as I approached Ethan’s nursery I spotted a man walking 3 very cute Bichon Frise’s! They all looked so cute together that I decided that I’d have to have 3 dogs of the day! There human dad clearly thinks the world of his three lovely dogs and he was happy to tell me all about them! All 3 dogs had previous owners. Charlie and Lucy’s original owners had babies and found that they then didn’t have the time to look after them a so the went to live with their current humans! Jack only lived with his previous owner for a matter of weeks but had to move due to his new human sister having a bad allergic reaction to him; they were all gutted!

Is was my friends son Evan’s first birthday today so we went for a picnic in the park. It didn’t take long before I spotted a beautiful Border Collie that was playing football with her humans. I waited until they walked past and went over to say hello! Millie is a lovely friendly girl and although she’s 12 years old she still acts like a puppy! Millie likes to keep a safe distance between herself and her human siblings but she always makes sure she keeps a watchful eye on them; she’s very protective of them!

I’m working late tonight so I’m starting work later today which meant I could go and look for a dog this morning. I dropped Ethan off at nursery and went to the park. I soon as I got out of the car I spotted a massive dog up on the field so I went over to say hello! Chewy (named after Chewbacca) is another Briard, I can’t believe I’ve seen two in one week! Chewy is a very friendly boy, he came running over to say hello! He was very excited, he’s got lots of personality! Chewy loves playing with other dogs but he doesn’t realise how big he is so some dogs get a bit intimidated when he bounds over to say hello! He has dog pals that he see’s most days. He’s best friends with a Dalmatian, a Westie that climbs on him and a French Bulldog; I’d love to see them all together! Chewy’s mum has had a number of dogs but Chewy is the first Briard that she’s had; she wanted a big hairy dog!

Very excited Chewy!

I went for a walk at lunchtime today and spotted a lovely looking dog. I was really pleased that I’d found one early in the day and then I was even more pleased when I got closer and realised that he was a Rhodesian Ridgeback; chuffed to bits! Gamba is an extremely handsome dog and lots of passer byes obviously agreed as loads of people stopped to stoke him! Gamba means handsome warrior and he definitely is! Gamba’s human dad is a dog photographer, check out his Facebook page!

I had the day off today but spent most of the morning rushing round so I decided I’d go and look for a dog on the afternoon with Ethan and my parents. Ethan decided which direction we’d walk in and so we went a different route than usual! We walked to the next street and we spotted a beautiful Cocker Spaniel. Molly is an old girl, she’s 12 years old! She’s very lovely and was very patient to let Ethan stroke her! Molly is the 5th Cocker Spaniel that her human parents have had; I remember some of them from when I was younger! Molly lived with a previous owner for 6 years but they couldn’t look after her anymore so she moved in to her current home.

I popped to the park after work today but it seemed pretty quiet at first. I walked past a really cute Jack Russell but it’s owner was on the phone so I couldn’t stop him! I walked a bit further on and spotted a lovely looking dog across the field so I went over to say hello! I met beautiful Ellie a very friendly Briard. Ellie lives with another Briard called Deifer who’s 8 years old who she follow around all of the time! They go for separate walks as it can be hard work taking the two of them!

I was invited to Laila’s (from day 62) birthday party today so I knew I’d see plenty of dogs but on the way there I spotted at Saint Bernard! I was soooo excited, everyday I hope I’ll see a Saint Bernard! I had to get my husband to pull over in the car and I ran out to say hello. I met very beautiful Ruby, she’s such a lovely girl. I got to give her lots of strokes and she sat on my feet to make sure I couldn’t move and so could carry on stroking her! To be fair it’s pretty hard to move a Saint Bernard off you! Ruby lives in the Tansy Green pub and so she gets lots of fussing from the locals. She make herself at home and sits on the seats next to the customers and she’s also been know to steal some Guiness! Ruby’s human dad has told me that the movie Beethoven is pretty much what it’s like having a Saint Bernard; you have to make sure you don’t leave the toilet seat up! Ruby is also a mum and once had a litter of 7 puppies. Unfortunately Ruby has since been diagnosed with epilepsy and has to take medication every day; she leads a full and happy life though!

Laila’s birthday party was lots of fun and I got to see lots of lovely dogs including a Grey Whippet, a Westie, Alfie from day 113 and a puppy Boxer; all in all a very good day!
