Year of the Dog Day 129

I had the day off today so I went for a walk with Ethan and my husband round the park. It didn’t take long until we bumped into a beautiful little dog called Foxy. She was with a lovely Staffie called Tilly who she lives with. Foxy was rescued from her previous owners who used to keep her in a cage all day, poor girl! She’s happy now in her loving home!

I drove to the polling station after work today to vote. As it happens the polling station is opposite a park so I thought I’d go there after I voted! I couldn’t believe the size of the queue to vote, it was massive! There were a couple of dogs in the queue to vote but I would have lost my place if I went to say hello to them and by the time I’d finished their owners were due to go in! As soon as I walked out of the polling station I spotted a very cute Border Terrier so I went over to say hello! Macie is very cute and friendly but she’s not very keen on having her photo taken!

Whilst we were in there we bumped into a lady with 4 dogs, 2 were hers and she was looking after the other 2 whilst their parents were at work! I took a picture of very friendly Lola, a very happy Jack Russell! Lola lives with another lovely Jack Russell called Rodney and a cat called Lucy. Lola and Lucy play with each other all of the time chasing each other, Lola will walk round with Lucy handing off her! Lola also likes having a good chat!

I was gutted today having to work on a bank holiday! Right at the end of the day my colleagues came running up to me to let me know there was a cute Dachshund outside! I ran to the door to have a look, it was beautiful Mildred from day 53!

When I got home I went for a walk with Ethan and my husband and it didn’t take long before we spotted possibly the most excited dog I’ve ever met! Millie is a really cute Jack Russell. She was so excited that I don’t think she was still for a single second! She really liked Ethan and was very keen to say hello to him! Millie’s human mum wanted to get a dog and told her husband that it was a choice between a puppy or a baby; her husband came home with a puppy!

Unfortunately I still haven’t felt 100% again today so I had another day at home! Fortunately my lovely kind neighbour Sue brought her very handsome dog Dylan round to see me! Dylan lives with beautiful Lady from Day 1 and handsome Cassius from Day 47. Ethan was very excited that Dylan came round! Dylan is a really lovely dog, very handsome, friendly and  calm, he’s got a very nice temperament! Dylan originally lived with another family but one of the children developed bad asthma and so they had to re-home him; that’s when he came to live with Sue and Dave.

Unfortunately they received some very sad news a few weeks ago. Dylan has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, he possibly only has a few months to live. Dylan is such a beautiful animal. My thoughts go out to his family.

I’ve not been very well today so I couldn’t go to work. I been trying hard not to get ill as obviously I can’t really go looking for dogs when I’m ill! Fortunately I have an excellent friends Jen and Drew who have an extremely handsome dog called Alfie so I text them and asked if they would mind popping round; Jen said of course! What a very good friend Jen is, I’m very lucky! Alfie was very excited to pop round and made a real fuss of me, Jen thinks that he could sense that I’m ill!

Alfie starting his life as a working dog on a farm but the farmer said that he was “bloody useless” and didn’t manage to catch anything! For that reason Alfie got the sack and was given to Drew and Jen. Alfie is such a friendly boy and lots of fun!

I went for a walk at lunchtime but unfortunately I didn’t spot any dogs!

When I got home myself, my husband and Ethan went for a walk to the park. We spotted two lovely King Charles Spaniels so we went to say hello! Ethan was very keen on them and liked them even more when he found out that they’re called Charlie and Lola! They are both rescue dogs. They’re previous owner didn’t know how to look after them properly and fed them on Pizza! They were never taken for walks and so unsurprisingly Charlie got quite overweight! Fortunately they were both rehomed together into a very loving new home and both dogs are now doing really well! As I’m pretty sure that I’m going to bump into the lovely Charlie and Lola again I decided to take just one of their pictures; today is Charlie’s turn!
