Christmas Lights

This is me and my dad hanging out whilst he was taking pictures of the Liverpool waterfront. As the sun goes down in winter, all the Christmas lights come on and it is so colourful all lit up.

Beach Bailey

Happiness is playing on the beach with my best blue ball.

Me and my Mum

This is me and my mum, I am the one looking serious on one of our trips to Bodnant Garden.

Back at Bodnant

I had a great day Bodnant Garden NT now every day is doggy day. There were lots of leaves to crunch through and loads of amazing smells. I made some new friends too.

Trick or Treat

What do you mean "Trick or Treat ". ? There has got to be a catch, especially when one of the cats is asking the question.  

Why !

Never seems fair, I get taken for a nice run on the field and then dad gets the clippers out because my ears are too long again- apparently.

Birthday Boy

It's my birthday, I am 3 now. I am going to have a party with my friends from the 4 'o' clock club

Not a happy doodle.

I was not such a happy Doodle this week, I know it was something called the autumn equinox yesterday but it felt more like the winter solstice when I was standing shivering in Derwent Water yesterday. Someone who will remain nameless thought it would be funny to throw in stick into the water. Didn't find the stick either !

28 Degrees

It's been very hot 28 so dad bought me a Cooling coat and took me for a paddle in Llyn Padarn, Llanberis.

What no Internet

What do you mean no internet for five days, how can mum do all my social media ?

A Final Twirl for Wag Wednesdays

Today was the last Wag Wednesday of the Year at Bodnant Garden, no more walks until the 1st of November which is a long time to wait when your a miniature Labradoodle.

Pleease ........

Pleese, can I have a bit of your McDonalds dad.

It's the Olympics

It's my first Olympics but I haven't got a passport to go to Rio so mum gave me a Gold medal for competing in the Hula Hoop at home.

A Paddle at Brown Howe

I had a very nice day in the Lake District this week and had a splash in Coniston water at Brown Howe bay. This is me before I got wet.

I Love My Dad

I love my dad so much.

Wag Wednesday

I had a lovely day out at Bodnant Garden in North Wales this week with mum & dad. They don't usually let dogs in but they now have a special night called "Wag Wednesday" when we can go in. It's a great walk around the gardens and I met lots of new friends. They put out loads of water bowls and there are a lot of waste bins around so dad doesn't have to walk too far with a poo bag.

2000 Followers !

Today I am celebrating because I now have over 2000 followers on Twitter. You can follow my tweets @baileythedoodle

World Sjögren's Day 23rd July 2016

Me and Mum both wearing blue for World Sjogren's Day which commemorates the birthday of Henrik Sjogren, who first identified this disease in 1933.

Sjögren’s (pronounced SHOW-grins) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease in which people’s white blood cells attack their moisture-producing glands. Four primary symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, dry eye and dry mouth, but Sjögren’s may also cause dysfunction of other organs such as the kidneys, gastrointestinal system, blood vessels, lungs, liver, pancreas, and the central nervous system.

Hot

It's been very hot the last few days so Dad has been making sure that I drink lots of water.

A Little Less Conversation

My Dad was trying to have a serious conversation with me about how to behave when visiting a National Trust property but I was more interested in the very cute Cockerpoo who had just appeared walking on the lawn behind him.

Skyfall - the name's Bond, Bailey Bond

A little bit of fun from one of our trip's to Scotland. Taken in the now well-trampled film location down Glen Etive for the James Bond Skyfall.  Bailey and his dad trying to look serious and the insert from the original film with Bond stood with M.

Britain's Favourite Dog

I am very disappointed that there wasn't a Labradoodle in the top 10 for Britain's favourite dog on TV last night.

Plas Newydd

This week I went on an adventure to an island called Anglesey and a palce called Plas Newydd which allows dogs. I had a great walk along the Menai straits and through some trees called Eucalyptus which smelt very unusual. There is apparently a really big picture in the house by someone called Whistler but I couldn't hear anything and it was one of those big stately home that they dont allow dogs in.We ended the day with fish and chips and some Starbucks cappuccino froth - brilliant.

Back to Agility

Aunty Lucy and Aunty Paula looked after me this week because my dad's cannot run very fast at the minute.

It's a Bird...It's a Plane...no It's Superbailey

It's a Bird....it's a Plane...no it's Superbailey, this week I got a superhero cape for doing a Dogs Unite sponsored dog walk around Bodnant Garden to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind. I made lots of new friends and helped raise some money to help train new guide dogs.

Hot

When I said it was hot outside it didn't mean I wanted a bath.

My friend Izzy

My friend Izzy came to visit a couple of weeks ago and we had lots of fun in the garden. Izzy decided to explore the pond but after a look from dad I decided it was probably best not to follow.

Weaving

I am getting so good at weaving at agility I can do it with my eyes shut.

Working to Rule

Working to Rule, whatever that is .....................No Treats no Tunnel !

Think I need to join a Union.

I enjoyed my agility class today although there are rumours that I might have to perform without treats next week. Think I need to join a union.

Bailey in the bluebells at Bodnant.

I had a wonderful evening at Bodnant Garden last night for the first Wag Wednesday of the year, I made lots of new friends including Poppy the Schnauzer.You can take your dog along for a walk in the gardens every Wednesday night from 5pm until 8pm until September.

Last blast on the Beach

Today I had my last blast on the beach at Lytham until October as the Doggy Beach Ban comes into force tomorrow. I am not allowed on the beach even on a lead at anytime of day until the 1st of October. I should point out that's not just me personally but any of my four legged friends.

Over the Last

I really enjoyed being back at agility today.

Saturday means Agility

I am really, really, really looking forward to starting back at agility classes tomorrow with Aunty Paula but are they ready for me !

A Surprise at Silver Sands

I had a great time this week on the west coast of Scotland this was taken at Silver Sands just before I discovered that Seagulls float Doodles don't !

New Friends

I made two new friends this week, Louis and Dill and I got to meet my Aunty Honora for the first time.

Bailey goes barmy at Barmouth.

This week we went to my favourite all time beach at Barmouth in Wales. The sun was shining and I ran for miles and miles and miles. Doodle heaven.

Bank Holiday Weather

Well, it is not actually the best day ever because I am bored of being stuck inside. Will it ever stop raining again.

Back on the Beach

Back on the beach this week, not quite as good as snow but still great fun.

Me and my Dad

I am never happier than when I am with my dad.

Fun in the Cairngorms

This week I went to the Cairngorms which is in Scotland which is a very long way when your just a little dog. We stayed in a place called Aviemore in a building called a hotel, apparently this was no ordinary hotel it was a Hilton which is a very special one.

After checking the pet pack, I got to watch whatever channel I wanted on the TV whilst mum and dad went for their meals. I wasn't allowed to go in the restaurant which is probably as well as I can get a little bit too excited when there is food around. Mum and Dad always came back with a wonderful aroma of food, apparently you can have as many sausages as you like for breakfast, sounds like doggie heaven.

The hotel is surrounded by woods with lots of dog friendly paths and trails, my dad took me on lots of walks, the smells where amazing especially first thing in a morning and I didn’t get muddy either. 

In the hotel grounds there are lots of little animals and birds, best of all are the little red squizzes I am used to the grey ones we have at home but the red ones speak Scottish,which took a bit of getting used to, but I soon started to understand it. Dad got a bit annoyed at some of the other doggies humans because they let their dogs off their leads chasing round, which Dad said could spoil it for the good dogs.

On Tuesday we went on a trip to Loch Garten to see the Crested Tits, they are really really tiny little bids which like to live in this part of Scotland. Mum got really excited when one showed up and she looks lots of pictures. I have to be very patient and it’s best if I don’t bark. I have got to admit bird watching is a bit boring but what ever makes mum and dad happy is good for me too.

Wednesday morning and I had a wonderful surprise, it has been snowing. I just love snow.  We went to Loch Morlich which had some funny stuff called ice in the water. It stuck to my nose and was very cold. 

Thursday we went up a mountain called the Cairngorm, I have never seen so much snow. I wanted to have a go at Skiing but they didn’t have any ski’s to fit doodles so I had a go at belly surfing instead.  

We also did a bit more bird watching this time on the Cairngorm, mum and dad tried to explain what kinds of birds you can seen in the Carngorms, but it just looked like a poster on a wall to me. We could hear funny noises in the hills behind us which was apparently the Black Grouse calling, the males can be a little grumpy at this time of the year, so it’s best not to try and talk to them. 

Friday and I am feeling very sad as we have to go home but I had the best time ever. My first stay in a Hilton was wonderful, everyone was very friendly and I got lots of strokes.

 Bye Bye Hilton Coylumbridge we will be back again soon.

Already Packed

Yep, I am already and packed for my first trip to Scotland, do you think the Hilton is ready for me?

Me and my Dad

How better to spend the day than a run on the beach and then watch the sun go down with my dad.

Are you not coming in too ?

It's half term this week so we went to the Lake District and I went for a paddle in Coniston. The water tasted great but it was very cold. I never understand why mum and dad never come in too.

A Blast on the Beach.

In between the wind and the rain I got a chance to have a run on the beach to blow the cobwebs away.

Spot the Doodle

I enjoyed another great walk around Bodnant Garden last week because I can now go anytime, any day until the end of February. My dad choose an artistic composition for this picture apparently, i think it's more a question of "Spot the Doodle".

Bad Hair Day

It's rather windy out there, having a bad hair day.

Snow Time

I think I might have gone a little mad.

Woof, Woof, Wednesday

Apparently today is Woof, Woof, Wednesday, so hear goes my mum just won a photography competition of me and my friend Archie having a great time on 
the beach.
