I thought this was a lovely story.

My weekend.

The weather's not been to bad this weekend. Not exactly what you would call summer but at least it has been dry.

I've enjoyed this weekend Dad got me ready for my walk than he put my car harness on me to keep me safe on the back seat. Which usually means one of three things I'm either going to the vets but my vaccinations aren't due or I'm poorly so i ruled that one out, I'm going to dog training but it wasn't Tuesday or I'm going for a nice drive away from my usual territory, luckily for me it was the later.

As i was looking out of the car window i didn't know were we were going until we pulled into the pet shop car park. I like going to the pet shop my nose goes into overdrive with all the smells, I'm like a kid in a sweet shop, most people compare to being more like a bull in a china shop though. I found this nice juicy bone on the shelf with my name on it, i thought it had been left especially for me, so i picked it up in my mouth to see if it was fresh, well the staff test the fruit and veg out at the supermarket to see if there fresh so why should it be different for me. I think Dad was to embarrassed to take it of me and put it back on the shelf after i had drooled all over it so he ended up buying it for me, I've stored that little trick in my memory bank to use again.

Than it was back in the car, i thought he had lost the plot on the way home when we started going the wrong way, but i was wrong we went to the Botanic gardens where i could stretch my legs.

Dad likes looking at the plants here. I'm sure he's hoping i will dig some up for him, but I'm far to polite for that behaviour, well at least when I'm out i am at home it's a different story.

Than we had a look at the peacock.

Than we had a walk around the lake.

It was a lovely walk especially with being off lead. There was lots of other dogs out  for there walks as well which was great plenty of bums for me to sniff, if Dad got up to half the things i do he would be arrested or get a black eye off some one. 

Than on the way back to the car just as my Dad was praising me for keeping clean it all went horribly wrong, it was at this point he was probably thinking i wish i had kept her on the lead. The good or bad thing about all the rain we've had depending on which way you look at it meant everywhere was waterlogged. I spotted puddles in the distance so i was off and running it wasn't until i ran into it i realised it was mud.

I'm off and running.

This photo looks like I'm trying to fly. Ears up ready for take off.

Oops i didn't realise it was that dirty. I'm sure i must have some Hippopotamus in me.

They say where there's muck there's money, it wasn't true in this case, just a horrible smell and boy did that stuff smell. Smelly water seems to attract me like a magnet.

After a good clean. It was time for a good scratch and a lie down.

In memory of Lennox.

This post is in memory of Lennox. Who wrongly got pts at 7am BST or should that be murdered.

As you are all probably aware Lennox lost his court battle to live because he was deemed a dangerous pitbull type breed  by Belfast City Council (BCC) despite dna tests proving he never had any pitbull in him & was in fact a American bulldog cross labrador. Even his dog license  has him marked down as a bulldog.

Nothing about this case makes any sense to me, a BCC expert reckons Lennox was the most dangerous unpredictable dog he had ever met since when have the council employed dog behaviour experts, and where is the proof did he ever bite anyone not as far as I'm aware. Even Victoria Stilwell presenter of It's me or the dog and Cesar Millan presenter of the dog whisperer offered to rehome Lennox in America with all expenses covered. Why did they not get a proper expert like Victoria or Cesar  to asses Lennox in my opinion there could be two reasons Lennox had already died while being confined in his concrete cell due to not receiving proper care in which case BCC should be charged with animal cruelty, or he was never dangerous and they didn't want to look like incompetent fools and liers. According to BCC he was far to dangerous and public safety had to come first.

Yet they reckon he was well cared for while being held in confinement and regularly exercised. If he was realy that dangerous and unpredictable why would you put someone at risk walking him.

This is the cell in which Lennox was held prisoner for two years. If i kept Sheba in them conditions i would be charged with not providing proper accommodation, neglect and banned from keeping animals. So why should BCC be allowed to get away with it.

It's as if we're going backwards as a nation instead of forward. I thought racism was a thing of the past yet that is exactly what we're doing discriminating against dogs because they look like a pitbull. Whatever next. 

On Tuesday the Lennox family released a statement on there facebook page saying they were denied the opportunity to say good bye to lennox. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all again for your messages of support. We are sorry to say at the present time Belfast city council seem to be intent on killing our boy. Despite previous assurances otherwise, we have been denied the opportunity to say goodbye. We have also been told that we cannot collect his body and bring Len home. We have been informed however that we will receive "some" ashes in the mail.

Lennox had been a family pet and was a therapy dog for the Barnes family daughter Brooke. Who is now suffering from poor health and poor school grades due to being separated from her best friend. How cuel can you get.

Does this dog warden really look scared. Not.

If BCC now think they can relax they're very much mistaken. The fight has only just begun and we want answers and want them now, hopefully with enough pressure they will cave in and tell the world the truth about what really happened. The whole saga stinks of corruption.

Lennox you might of left this cruel ugly world but you will never be forgotten.

Many thanks to all the supporters from around the world who tried there best to save Lennox from execution. And especially to the Free Lennox - No Olympic Torch for Belfast facebook page who very kindly gave me permission to use there posters and kept the world up to date on developments.

RIP Lennox.

If this case dosen't prove that BSL and the dangerous dogs act isn't working i don't know what will.
