I went for a walk at lunchtime today and on my way back to work I spotted an amazing dog on the other side of the road, so as soon as it was safe I ran across the road! Snoop is a cross between a Dachshund and Basset Hound; what a great combination! Snoop is a very friendly boy and he’s also very chatty, he talked the whole time I was there! Snoop really loves human company, he gets anxious if he’s on his own so he goes to work with his humans every day, lucky boy! Snoop loves human company so much he thinks he is human! He has a dog bed which he won’t use, instead he sleeps in one of his humans beds!

Gorgeous Snoop!

I popped out at lunchtime today and didn’t have to go very far before I spotted a dog walking on the other side of the road. I made a dash for it and met very cute Arnie, a puppy French Bulldog. I know I say this all the time but I really do love French Bulldogs! Arnie’s fur is really soft and he still has some excess skin to grow in to, so cute! He’s a really friendly boy, I got to give him lots of strokes! Arnie’s human dad works at Close barbers in Manchester and he gets to come to work with him every day; all of the customers must love him! Arnie also has his very own Instagram account; Arnie_FrenchBulldog.

I was out and about with work today and on my way back I spotted a couple walking 3 very cute dogs up ahead, so I dashed after them! I met Buddy, Maisy and Franky 3 gorgeous dogs! 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 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 was working today so I went out for a little walk at lunchtime. Pretty much as soon as I left work I spotted a very cute dog so I went over to say hello! Mac is a Lhasa Apso; I’m not sure I’ve ever met one before! Mac is an international traveller! He has a doggy passport so that he can live in Portugal for 4 months of the year; very nice! He enjoys sitting on the marina watching the world go by! Mac has featured in a blog before; his groomer in Portugal put a picture of him on her blog. He’s a friendly boy!

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!

I had to pop to Afflecks Palace today for work so I was pretty hopeful that I’d spot a dog in the Northern Quarter! I was in luck and on my way back to work I spotted and extremely handsome White German Shepherd called Ambrose. To be honest I didn’t know you could get white German Shepherds before! Interestingly White German Shepherds were disqualified from the German Shepherd Dog club in 1933 when the Nazis came to power! Ambrose is a very chatty and friendly boy, he was talking to us the whole time! Ambrose lives with two cats but the don’t always get on that well! Ambrose’s human grandparents have a massive Saint Bernard; I was shown a picture of the two together and believe it or not Ambrose looked small next him!

I went for a walk at lunchtime today and very happily spotted a very smiley and handsome Bull Mastiff called Ali. Ali can be misunderstood; because he’s a big dog some people assume that he’s aggressive but he’s such a friendly softy, look at his smile! Ali lives with two tortoises who he loves loads! He nudges them around and one of them cuddles up to him at night; the other tortoise bites him from time to time though!

Smiley Ali!

I went for a walk at lunchtime today and spotted a lovely looking dog. I was really pleased that I’d found one early in the day and then I was even more pleased when I got closer and realised that he was a Rhodesian Ridgeback; chuffed to bits! Gamba is an extremely handsome dog and lots of passer byes obviously agreed as loads of people stopped to stoke him! Gamba means handsome warrior and he definitely is! Gamba’s human dad is a dog photographer, check out his Facebook page!

I went for a little walk at lunch time but didn’t spot any dogs so I went for a walk before I picked up Ethan from nursery. I got my exercise in today walking up a steep hill to the park! When I got to the top of the hill I spotted a very happy and active dog! Nell was very happy chasing her ball, she really loves it! We used the ball to get her to pose for me! Nell lives with her human sister Isla who’s only 9 months old!

I really wanted to spot a dog in the day time today as I’m stretched for time this evening but I didn’t spot any! Manchester seemed really quiet today!

By the time I left work it was absolutely pouring down so I went to Pets at Home on the way home hoping I’d spot a dog, there were none! I picked up Ethan from nursery and decided I’d drive round to my parents so that I could pop round to their neighbours house and take a picture of very handsome Loki! I’ve known Loki since he was a very cute puppy; he’s massive now! He was very excited that I’d come round and did lots of tricks! Loki’s human mummy told me about a time when the window cleaners came round the back of the house but forgot to check if Loki was about. Loki came bounding out of the house to see who was there but as he’s so massive they were terrified and one jumped over the fence and the other climbed up the ladder! He’s a big softy really!

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! Millie gets to go to work with her human daddy every day which she loves.

I was working today so I went for a little walk at lunchtime with a colleague to look for a dog but we didn’t spot any so I popped to the park after work! I spotted 3 dogs all pretty close together so I went to say hello to a very cute King Charles Cavalier Spaniel who was carrying a tennis ball in her mouth! She was very keen on the tennis ball and wouldn’t drop it for the photo, she looks really sweet with it! She didn’t stop wagging her tail the whole time!

Later on my colleague spotted a very cute dog on the high street and fortunately they said yes to being involved! Lady is very lovely, she’s a very friendly dog! I got to give her lots of strokes! She loves having lots of cuddles!

I went for a little walk at lunchtime but I didn’t spot any dogs! I drove to the park after work and was very excited when I spotted an amazing Dogue De Bordeaux! I’ve been hoping to see one every day since I started my blog, they’re amazing! I still cry every time I watch Turner and Hooch and I’ve seen it about 50 times! It doesn’t rain then it pours! As I was talking to lovely Tank another Dogue De Bordeaux walked past!

Tank is pretty amazing! He’s a very friendly dog, I got to give him a hug and lots of stokes! Look at his smiley face!

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!

Angus had a pink mark on his face which was lipstick from where his human mummy kissed him goodbye!

I was working again today so I went out at lunchtime to try and find a dog but no joy! I popped to the park after work and as soon as I arrived I noticed about 3 different dogs! One of the dogs was bouncing along the path, he looked very happy and I was pretty sure he was a puppy! I was right, Olly is just 7 months old and very excited! He’s very cute! Olly’s human mummy rescued him.

I was going out straight from work today so I really hoped that I’d see a dog in the day time. As it happened my luck was in! I was at the reception desk at work when I saw a man tie his dog up outside; my colleague asked me if they are delivering dogs to work for me now, I wish! I asked the owner if I could take his lovely dogs photo and he said yes! Alfie is very nice, such a friendly boy, I got to give him a good stroke! He’s so good that he doesn’t even mind if his ears get pulled by a toddler! Alfie is a rescue dog from Manchester Dogs Home.
