Year of the Dog Day 185

Me and Ethan went for a little stroll around Middlebrook today. As usual we spent quite a lot of time in the toy houses outside the toy shop! I finally persuaded Ethan to leave the house and go to the pet shop. I’d seen a number of dogs go in and out whilst I was waiting for Ethan so I knew I wouldn’t struggle to find a dog! Whilst we were in the shop I saw a very beautiful Cocker Spaniel so  I went to meet her! Pippa is really cute, she’s such a friendly girl, I got a kiss almost straight away! Pippa lives with her dog brother Sam, he’s very handsome and she also has 3 human siblings, they love her very much!

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!

I’ve been very excited about today! When I went to the dog show at Turton Tower the other week I met a gorgeous puppy Saint Bernard called Geoff but I already had a dog of the day so we swapped details and arranged to meet up; today was that day! I’ve been telling everyone for the past week about the puppy and mummy Saint Bernard that I’ve arranged to meet, so exciting!

Myself and Ethan went to Moses gate country park this morning and I definitely wasn’t disappointed when I met amazing Emma and Geoff! They are both really friendly, me and Ethan got to give them lots of strokes, I even got to have my photo taken with them! Although Geoff is only 4 months old he’s already a winner and won best in show at the dog show where I met them! Emma has also been to Crufts and Geoff will enter when he’s older! Emma is Geoff’s mummy. She had a litter of 7 puppies but unfortunately she lost 3 of them.

I wanted to go out at lunchtime today to find a dog as I had plans tonight, but I didn’t end up having time! I hoped I would have chance as I arrived to nursery but unfortunately my train was cancelled and the next one delayed so I didn’t have time!

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! We didn’t leave the climbing centre until 9.30pm so I thought I might struggle to find a dog. Fortunately my friend Rebecca has a dog so we popped round to her house on the way home, thank you Rebecca! This is the first time that I’ve met Tyler, she’s beautiful! She was very excited to see us all, her tail wagged the whole time and she didn’t stop smiling! She’s a very clever girl and can do many tricks, she was also very good posing for her photos!

I was going to walk around the block when I got to Ethan’s nursery but it started pouring down so I gave that a miss! Fortunately by the time my husband got back from work it had stopped raining so I didn’t need to get wet! I spotted a dog pretty much as soon as I got to the park. I met very lovely Toby, he was very excited and happy! The humans that were with Toby are looking after him for a week for the lady’s sister in law so they weren’t 100% sure on all of the details!

We travelled back home from Weymouth today; we were stuck in traffic for most of the way, it took an age to get home! Fortunately I knew I’d have no trouble finding a dog today as there’s always loads at service stations; someone could do a blog on service station dogs! As soon as we drove into the car park I spotted a French Bulldog, I was very pleased, I think they’re great! Finn is a very handsome and friendly boy, I got to give him lots of strokes! Finn’s humans have previously had Boxer dogs but wanted to go for something smaller and so the chose a French Bulldog! They said when they went to pick him up he looked a bit funny and had a wonky eye! He just sat there and looked at them and they fell in love. He definitely doesn’t have a wonky eye now!
