So there I was running with the pack alongside the canal when mum spotted something in the distance…..

We all stopped and stared and eventually realised that at the far end of the field we were running past, were PIGS!!!! Now there is a lot of agricultural land around Haydock but it’s almost entirely crops… So to see pigs was most unusual. Mum told me that pigs are a little like dogs except with more mud and curlier tails.

Brilliant! Woof Woof xx

P.s. Pigs shown are not the ones we saw, they are imposters.

Hello there….. here I am again, filling you in on what an exciting Sunday I have had so far. Well first thing this morning mum took me to the local shop for supplies and it was a bit frozzy cold but great to get out early on a Sunday morning.

Then when dad got up, we went to do family visits, first to see Auntie Jenny and all the Dixon-Thomas family. Everyone was a bit  when we got to Auntie Jenny’s as my gorgeous little cousin Lola was feeling really poorly and not  in the best mood for visitors and even baby Tilly was having 40 winks. So we just stayed a little while and picked up some lovely photos that we were waiting for.

After that we went on to see my Great Grandma Prescott who is almost 88 years old. She was in fine fettle and she even has a great big window which I love to sit and stare out of….

Then when we got back and after we had some lunch, mum, dad and I all went out for a little run down to the canal. Now mum said she wasn’t really “feeling it” so we didn’t do quite as much as we planned – but it was ace all the same. It was quite muddy on the paths, so mum had to clean me off when we got back – I love it really

Well, everyone is back to work tomorrow and mum still hasn’t got her driving licence back – so it’s on the train again for her. Woof Woof. Blog you soon all you lovely puppies xxx

Evening all what a great Saturday. Mum & dad have been out to Wigan this afternoon and when they got back we went out for a run. Just a little 3 miler followed by tea which also included leftover chicken hotpot Woof Woof x

Also last night I got to sleep in my favourite place in the world – under mum & dads bed! Now there isn’t much room and I only just fit, but I love it – I always feel safe & snuggly. I also don’t feel lonely or need a wee at 7am so mum (or usually dad) doesn’t have to get up mega early on an weekend when I start crying.

Plans for tomorrow include a visit to Auntie Jenny’s and then to Gran Prescott’s – woofly wonderful xx

How fantastic am I feeling at the moment? Errrr very brilliant thank you very much

My pack and I haven’t been for a run for 13 days (not that I’m counting), but we have been tonight. There have been many reasons why we haven’t been – snow, bad weather, stressyness and general tiredyness and arsed issues – but we hope they are all behind us now and we can get our training back on track. “Training for what?” I hear you bark, well mum & dad are running the Manchester 10k on May 16th and as this is only 2 months and 13 days off…..

Actually, why not support them by posting a comment on the bottom of this blog*

So, back to our run.We did about 25 minutes to break us in gently and even though it was cold, I got a bit of off lead action in the park and to be honest, my mum and dad are right slackers as they seemed to be out of puff at the end whereas I was fine! See the evidence of the three of us post run below….

Also, mum made these for work and it’s all dad and I can do not to steal them away and scoff them all – in fact, I think they might be going to bed soon Don’t tell anyone will you xx

*to see the comment box, click on the title “We’ve finally been for a run….”

So we are very excited here in my den- we have booked out hollibobs for this year! We are going to Anglesey and we are VERY excited.

We are going to stay in cottages which we found at http://www.doanglesey.co.uk and they look very lovely.

We are a bit giddy xx Woof Woof. We are going in June so it will be here  before I know it .

Me in the car

Good Morning everyone – how is your Wednesday morning? I am just fine and dandy thank you. Mum is working from home today as she still doesn’t have her driving licence back from the DVLA and the head of the pack at work said she didn’t have to get the train today. Woof Woof.

So tonight we will be going for a run and then who knows. We are having a bit of quiet week I think this week, but it’s all good – have you got any news for me? If you want to share anything with me at all, or if you would like me put your picture on my website, you can email me at peggy@haydockdogblog.co.uk and we will get a little wall of fame going.

Love

Peggy xx

Good Morning All – are you well this morning? I certainly am – Woof Woof. Firstly (and most importantly), I immediately have to wish my Auntie Alison a very Happy Birthday!

Auntie Alison

I am not sure how old she is, but if I had to guess I would say 23! ♥

We have also been out this morning for a walk which included Tesco, the park & the post office. It’s all to do with mum’s driving licence (or lack of due to complications), but we had fun and it’s always nice to go our for a walk with the pack.

I think we mightbe going out for a run later – so I will have to keep my ickle paws crossed and have a zzzz in preparation.

Bye for now

My dad is amazing – no really brilliant. I won’t go into details (because it’s gross), but he did something so lovely and chivalrous for me this morning that my mum gave him a big hug and I felt like licking his face all over.

Thanks Dad xxx

Good Morning dogbloggers – just thought you might like to see a video that has been made which celebrates the project that my mum works on:

Mum is dead proud of this and she told me to tell you all that her particular bit is the Greater Manchester bit and Mustard Tree.  Woof Woof. xxx

Happy Valetines Day dogbloggers! Hope you have a lovely day xx
