Year of the Dog Day 205

I parked up near Ethan’s nursery after work and went for a little walk around the block in search of a dog. I didn’t have to walk far when I noticed an amazing Dogue De Bordeaux up one of the side streets; I was very excited and hot footed it down the street to meet him! As soon as handsome Killian saw me he came bounding over to say hello, what a friendly boy! He loves meeting new people and getting lots of fuss, he’s a big softy! Killian’s owner did a lot of research before he got Killian to make sure he knew everything he needed to! Kilian’s doggy dad is a champion Dogue De Bordeaux.

It was quite difficult to get a picture of Ted as he hardly keeps still, he loves running round! He also spotted a swallow and so ran off to chase it; it’s his favourite pastime!

I was at my parents house this afternoon when I spotted a cute dog walking past so I dashed out to say hello to lovely Noodles! Noodles is a rescue dog from Cyprus. The family were on holiday there and one of their friends found Noodles walking around the holiday park and so took her in to a rescue centre and the family decided that they would like to adopt her. They had to wait a couple of months before Noodles could come back to the UK whilst they sorted out her doggy passport but she got over here eventually and has now lived in the UK for 7 years. What a lovely happily ever after story!

I spotted a little Jack Russell having lots of fun playing with a ball and a Frisbee so I went over to meet her! Daisy is very cute and very friendly. She was with her human brother and his granddad; they love each other loads, she thinks the world of her human brother! Daisy once had a litter of 8 puppies, they didn’t keep any but they are still in touch with some of them which is nice! Daisy does a very cute thing to get herself tucked into bed at night!

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.

Year of the Dog Day 200

We have family visiting this weekend so we decided to take them to the excellent IWM North today as they’ve never been! We had a great visit and decided to take a stroll over the bridge to have a little look round Media City. When we got to the bridge I spotted a very tall and handsome dog coming towards us so I went over the say hello. Monty is a very tall German Shorthaired Pointer, he was the biggest in his litter! He’s a friendly boy and I got to give him a good stroke; I even got a wet nose kiss! Monty had to have an operation last Friday on two of his cruciate ligaments. Fortunately it was keyhole surgery so he didn’t have a massive scar. He’s doing really well considering he’d only just had his operation and could walk round pretty normally; lovely boy! Fortunately Monty’s humans got him insured, so far  he’s had to have £11,500 worth of treatment, fingers crossed its all ok now!

I went to Moss Bank Park today for some dog spotting! It was just starting to rain so I was really pleased that I spotted 2 very excited looking dogs running in the field. Bracken and Piper are both very cute and very active! It was almost impossible to get a picture of Bracken as she would only stay still for a few moments at a time, as soon as I got the camera near her she would jump in the air and run off again! They are both very excited dogs, they both love running around, chasing the ball and jumping in the air!

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!
