I didn’t manage to get out at lunch time today so I headed to the park when I got back to Bolton. It didn’t take long before I spotted a very smiley, friendly looking Chocolate Labrador. Mollie was all wet as she’s had a little swim, it’s her favourite thing to do! Mollie’s owners have had her for a couple of years; she originally belonged to a relative but they took her on when she was 1 year old. She’s very happy, I don’t think she stopped smiling the whole time!

It’s been a really rainy day today! I waited for the rain to get a bit lighter before I headed out on my dog hunt. I walked to a local park and spotted a lady with a very lovely looking dog. Goldie is 16 years old; she’s looking very good though! Her human mummy showed me her teeth which are in great condition for a dog her age! Goldie is really friendly with a really calm temperament, I got to give her a good stroke!

I was off again today doing DIY in the house, I’m very tired now! I didn’t get chance to look for a dog until later so I popped to the park on the way to pick up Ethan from nursery. I soon as I parked up I spotted a very happy Chocolate Labrador! Millie was very excited and seemed very pleased to see me! She’s 14 years old but you wouldn’t think it if you saw how fast her tail wags! Millie’s current owner took her in when she was 3 years old, her previous owner had other pets and found Millie too boisterous!

I was off today so I popped to the park with my little boy. I saw quite a few dogs when we first arrived but the swings took priority! After lots of fun on the slide and the swings we went for a little walk on a dog hunt and it didn’t take us long to spot Jack. Jack was very excited by everything, he was very happy when he spotted a cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Yorkshire Terrier! It took a while to get Jack to keep still as he was soooo excited. I managed to get this shot with bribery of a treat!

I didn’t have time to look for a dog at lunchtime today so I went to the park when I got back to Bolton. As I was parking up I spotted two very lovely Chocolate Labradors so I parked up as fast as I could and went over to say hello. I met very friendly Muffin and Jake! It’s amazing how different they both look despite both being Chocolate Labradors!

I met beautiful Molly today! I was walking through Manchester when I spotted her on the other side of the road, she looked amazing so I had to go and say hello! Molly is such a friendly girl, I got to give her lots of fuss! She also got lots of attention from passers by, nearly everyone that walked past said “awww, what an amazing dog!”. Molly used to belong to her current human daddy’s friend but they moved abroad and so her current owners took her in; who can blame them, she’s gorgeous!

I went for a little stroll to the village at lunchtime today, people have told me that there is usually people walking dogs round there but I hadn’t made it up there yet. I wasn’t disappointed, as soon as I got there I saw a beautiful Black Labrador. Meg was being walked by two people but they weren’t her owners, Meg was their bosses dog; they’re allowed to take their dogs to work with them! How amazing is that, I’m so jealous! They were telling me that just over a year ago they decided to trial having a bring your dog to work day and it worked so well that people can bring in their dogs any day. They have around 10 office dogs. Unsurprisingly morale is very high where they work! Meg has a sister called Sweep, another Black Labrador!

Beautiful Meg!

I went for a drive to Horwich today to take my son to the hairdressers and as we were parking up I spotted a lady training a guide dog so I went over to say hello. I wasn’t sure if they’d be able to stop but fortunately they could so I got to say hello to beautiful Thelma. Thelma is still a trainee guide dog, she’s in the last part of her training though and only has 2 months to go, what a clever girl! Thelma is sooo gentle and obviously very well behaved, she was one of the easiest dogs so far to get a photo of!

Since I’ve started my blog I’ve wanted to see a guide dog, they’re so amazing! The work they do is so fantastic, dogs really are incredible! To find out more about guide dogs follow the link below.

It’s been my day off today so I knew I’d have no trouble finding a dog! I went round to my parents house and didn’t have to wait too long when I spotted a neighbor taking his son’s very handsome Chocolate Labrador for a walk. I’ve spotted him before but I hadn’t actually met him yet, he’s such a friendly lovely dog. Another Chocolate Labrador also walked past, they were both very excited to see each other! Rossi has lots of cuddly toys, he takes one with him when he  answers the door so that he doesn’t get too excited!

I had another day going to a trade show at the NEC and I was really hoping that I would be lucky and see Kilo’s sniffer dog friend that his owner had told me about yesterday. I was really lucky and I bumped into Kilo’s buddy almost as soon as I arrived! Today’s sniffer dog is the very handsome Freddy. He was very excited and was really looking forward to go and sniff out some explosives!
