Year of the Dog Day 107

I went for a little walk at dinnertime but I didn’t spot any dogs, I did get some fresh air though! I walked around the block when I arrived at Ethan’s nursery but I didn’t spot any dogs so I went in to pick up Ethan. I was just getting Ethan in the car when a man walked past with a very cute Yorkshire Terrier. Charlie was very friendly, Ethan was very keen on him! Charlie originally lived with his current human daddy’s granddaughter but he stayed with Granddad for a couple of days which turned into 5 years!

I went for a little walk at lunchtime and as the weather was so nice I decided I’d eat in the park. I bumped into colleagues from work which was nice! Anyway I spotted a very cute Chihuahua on the other side of the park so I ran over to say hello! Bombon is very sweet but also a little bit shy!

Year of the Dog Day 94

I had the day off today so we planned to trip to Quarry Bank Mill. Since doing my blog I’ve made friends with Cooper the Dog on twitter; he doesn’t live that far away from Quarry Bank Mill so we arranged to meet up! Cooper is a very friendly dog, sooo happy! I think pretty much every person that walked past him wanted to stroke him and say hello! It was nice that I was able to spend a little bit more time than usual taking lots of pictures, to be honest I’ve found it quite difficult deciding which one to chose; that’s why I’ve chosen two! Cooper’s human dad showed me a video of Cooper walking up the stairs; he really enjoys walking up the stairs but he finds it quite hard as he’s only got little legs and then he can’t get back down! Cooper is a proud member of the Zombie Squad!

Ethan was little shy when he first met Cooper, he’d only just woken up but Cooper has definitely made an impression on him; he’s been taking about him all afternoon!

Yeah, it didn’t rain today! I went for a little walk at dinner time and it didn’t take long before I spotted a very handsome Cocker Spaniel. Eddie was very nice, he was very friendly but got quite shy when I got my camera out! It took a bit of bribery to get some of the shots as you can see in the picture below! Apparently Eddie is always camera shy!

Year of the dog Day 90

I’ve completed month number 3! I’ve just got 3 quarters of the year left to do!

The weather has been horrible again today! I didn’t spot any dogs at dinner time but I did near my work when I left but I had to dash for a train! The train was slower than usual so I didn’t have time to look for a dog before I picked up Ethan from nursery so I had to wait for my husband to get back from work; the weather was way too bad to take Ethan on a dog hunt! As soon as I could I headed out. I walked for around 30 minutes without much luck; I was loosing hope when I turned a corner and spotted lovely Bobby a very cute Yorkshire terrier. I was very relieved!

Year of the Dog Day 88

The weather has been terrible again today! I spotted a break in the rain and so went for a little dog hunt! I didn’t have to walk far when I spotted a lovely looking dog. Daisy was very friendly but I’m told she can be a little timid with some people. Daisy is a rescue dog from Manchester Dogs home and her owner thinks she might have been mistreated before she was rescued, hence why she’s a bit timid. I don’t know how people can mistreat animals, it’s criminal!

I went out at lunchtime but it was a bit miserable and I didn’t spot any dogs.

I popped to the park after work and I saw Bella from day 72, she was very happy chasing her ball! I walked a bit further on and spotted a very handsome Border Collie called Buddy. He’s such a friendly boy and was very excited! He loves running around and  chasing his ball and would literally carry on until he couldn’t stand anymore if they let him! Buddy has his own Facebook page. Buddy lives with two other dog friends!

I couldn’t decide which picture I liked best so I put both on!

I’ve been working today so I went for a little walk at lunchtime in search of dog. I didn’t have to walk for very long when I spotted a very cute Chihuahua wearing a very fashionable jacket, he won’t leave the house without his coat on! Casper was very friendly and had lots of personality! Casper’s current owners haven’t had him for long, his previous owners were Spanish so he’s in the process of learning English! Casper is afraid of Geese, I suppose they must look massive to him!

Year of the Dog Day 78

I had to walk to the other side of town for a meeting today so I was hopeful that I would see a dog but unfortunately I didn’t spot any!

I went for a walk around the  block when I arrived at Ethan’s nursery but again nothing! I decided to pop to the park with Ethan and have a look. Usually when I’ve had Ethan with me he’s been in his pram or trike or I’ve had someone else with me so I was a bit worried that he might run off as I’m trying to get a picture but he was a really good boy!

I met very handsome Rocky! He’s such a well behaved boy, he sat whilst I took his picture and I managed to get a shot of him shaking his paw! Rocky was rescued by his current owner. His previous owner died and he was left in the back garden on his own without food for over 24 hours. His current owner heard about his plight and rescued him; they’re best friends now!

I worked late tonight so I made sure I went out at lunchtime for a walk but I didn’t spot any dogs. I took a break in the afternoon and went for little walk around the block but I still didn’t spot any! I didn’t get back to Bolton until 8pm, it was dark and raining, booooo! I’ve got to be honest, I felt a little disheartened on my way home! I got in the car and drove to the shop where I’ve spotted many dogs before. Just as I pulled in I saw a very cute Yorkshire Terrier so I went over to say hello, I’m a happy girl again! Benji was very friendly and very excited; so excited that he couldn’t keep still!

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!

I walked to the train station this morning on the way to work, the weather was pretty horrible so I didn’t have high hopes of spotting a dog and I didn’t! I went for a little walk at lunch time but I didn’t spot any. When I got back to Bolton I walked back home from the train station. I got to right to near my house when I spotted a dog. I went over to say hello and then I realised that is was gorgeous Louis from day 4; my search continued! I carried on walking, I got pretty far without spotting anything.

I was loosing hope and then a spotted a lady walking 2 dogs so I ran up a hill after her. I was very revealed to meet Alfie, he’s lovely and such a well behaved boy! I thought he was a Border Collie but he’s actually a Welsh Sheepdog. Alfie is a bit of a miracle dog. He once swallowed a stick which made a hole in his throat.

Year of the Dog Day 50

Wow, 50 days, that seems like a bit of a milestone! I was a bit worried that I wasn’t going to find a dog today! I ended up having to work late so I was keen to find a dog in the daytime. I went for a walk at lunchtime and didn’t see any dogs so I went out for a little walk around 5pm in the hope’s of spotting one but again nothing. I had to wait until after work. I walked home from the train station, I was nearly home and it was 8pm and I still hadn’t spotted a dog! I was concerned it wasn’t going to happen but then I spotted a cute little dog approaching on the other side of the road, I was so pleased! I met Pi whose owner tells me is the most unusual dog she’s ever known! He stays in bed until 9.30am every morning, lucky boy! He doesn’t really like playing with other dogs; the only dog he’s ever played with is a Northern Inuit that’s he’s known since he was a puppy.
