Myself and the family went to the beach today, it was really great, Ethan had a brilliant time! I saw so many amazing dogs including a gorgeous Cockapoo, a Boston Terrier and loads of Border Collies, Labradors, Yorkshire Terriers, Cocker Spaniels and King Charles Cavalier Spaniels!

I spotted my Dog of the Day sat outside the cafe, she has such a kind, friendly, smiley face! Poppy is a beautiful Short Haired German Pointer. She’s grown up with 3 human siblings, they love her very much!

I’m currently on holiday in Dorset and I’m very excited about all of the dogs I’m going to see! I wonder if I’ll see different breeds; is there a North/ South doggy divide?!

I went into Weymouth today and pretty much as soon as I walked into the town centre I spotted a really handsome looking dog. I met gorgeous Derek, what a friendly boy he is! I got to have a little bit of a cuddle with him, he’s very nice! Derek is a Labradoodle. His mum is a Fox Red Labrador which you can see from the lovely colour of his coat and his dad is a Miniature Poodle; I’m not really sure how that worked! Derek has a doggy passport and travels to France regularly, lucky boy!

I’ve been travelling today and had hopes that I would spot a nice dog at the service station, I was in luck! I spotted two really cute dogs, a Basset Hound and another dog I didn’t recognise! Although they look completely different in turns out that they are both a type of Basset Hound! Hermione is a Basset Griffon Vendeen. I hadn’t heard of the breed but Hermione’s human daddy informed me that they’re very rare with only a handful of breeders in the country. They both make a really cute duo, I don’t think they stopped wagging their tails! They get lots of attention, everyone wants to stop to stroke them and who can blame people, Basset Hounds are amazing! I genuinely didn’t stop smiling when I was looking through the photos I took of them, they’re both brilliant!

I went out at lunchtime today but I didn’t spot any dogs; I did have a nice walk though!

On my way back to the car when I got back to Bolton I spotted a beautiful dog so I went over to say hello! I met Ruby who’s an English Setter, I’ve not had one on my blog yet! Ruby is a really friendly girl; she ended up leaning in to me and we had a big hug! She loves her human’s grandkids but she sometimes knocks them over; she doesn’t realise how big she is!

I went out at lunchtime today and bumped into my boss who had just seen two dogs in the park; by the time I got there they were gone! I didn’t spot any other dogs around Manchester.

When I got back to Bolton I went to the usual park and spotted lovely Alfie from day 159, I gave him a little stroke! I then spotted a very cute dog up ahead and so went over to say hello! I met beautiful Stella a Chihuahua and Pekingese cross, she’s a really friendly and smiley girl! Stella has only git one eye, she got into a fight with a cat and ended up having to have her eye removed when she was 10 months old. She occasionally walks into things but it doesn’t really effect her in any other way; she’s understandably not keen on the vets though!

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 went out for lunch today and just as I finished eating I noticed a dog walking past. I ran out of the café in hot pursuit but as I got closer I realised that it was Angus from day 110! After I finished work I popped to the park but the only dog about was Millie from day 86! I gave her a big stoke, she’s so friendly! There were no other dogs about so I got back in the car to drive to another park but then I spotted a lady walking a big dog to the park so I parked up and went after them. I met very handsome Bruno a Bull Mastiff and Great Dane Cross. Bruno is a very smiley boy! Bruno is a rescue dog from Rochdale.

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!
