Wordless Wednesday. Cody reading with Mum.

Dogue de Bordeaux welfare.

I've just started work for the Dogue de Bordeaux welfare as a volunteer. I'm really looking forward to being part of a great team and helping out to rehome this great breed.

As with any job I've got to start at the bottom of the ladder but i don't mind the main thing is team work and everyone working together.

I'm the driver helping to transport the dogs around. But you never know what other opportunities may arise

The nice thing about being a volunteer is i feel I'm doing something worthwhile, and at the end of the day money's not everything i think job satisfaction is and what can be more satisfying than working with dogs especially one of my favourite breeds.

Without volunteers a lot of these organisations wouldn't be able to survive which would be bad news for all the homeless animals.

My first bus ride.

Yes you have read the title correct i will be 4 years young on February 14th 2013 or if i was human nearly 28 years young, and i finally get to have my first bus ride. I'm usually in Dads car but he had to drop it off at his friends house who's a mechanic to get the MOT done, so today we took a nice long walk to the bus stop which had me confused because we took a route which we don't usually walk and than sat at the bus stop i thought Dad just wanted to rest his legs and let me greet everyone getting off the bus, when the bus pulled up Mum got on it and i thought she was leaving us until Dad followed with me.

It was great with lots of people to say hello to i was on my very best behaviour so that i didn't embarrass my staff and it worked in my favour   because it made all the passengers smile and they gave me a stroke when they were getting off the bus which was nice of them. I like to prove to people that big dogs can be nice dogs if they've got the right handler.

After we got off the bus we had another long walk to pick the car up AKA my taxi. On the way there we stopped to take photo's of  the boulder this is no ordinary boulder it's got a story to tell it was carried down by the ice during the ice age 12,000 years ago all the way from Scotland.

I hope you can read the write up ok.

Another couple of views of the Boulder.

And now we're off on the last leg of my adventure.

We're finally home and I'm worn out. As they say a tired dog is a happy dog i don't think anyone will get anything out of me tonight.

Goodnight

I hope you enjoyed.

Dad's car passed the MOT, after paying for the MOT and work that needed doing his wallet is a lot lighter but at least I've got my taxi back. I will have to get them to take me on a train next.

ps I thought it's about time i got a new post up seeing as my staff took over the last couple of weeks, i did enjoy the break though.

Oh just one more thing before i go we're off on our holidays next month to the Lake District so it's a good job my taxi's mot'd and serviced only the road tax to buy now. I'm glad I'm a dog and don't have these expenses.

I will let you all know before we go so you don't miss me to much. I hope the staff remember the camera as there will be a holiday post going up when we get back, Cody's going into a cattery for a week though we will all miss him, but I've been reliably informed by the staff that they know were to get good ice cream up there yum yum.

I really must go now my eyes are getting tired and my paws are all over the keyboard making spelling mistakes. The spell checker is smoking with working to hard.

Goodnight again sleep well i know i will dreaming about buses.
