The Snowdog Adventures of Blob Thing and Winefride: Little Snowdog Pack 10: Found At The Sage, Gateshead

Hello again.

My name is Blob Thing and I am a small pink soft toy. Together with my sister Winefride I have toured across Tyne and Wear over the course of two weeks and together we have attempted to complete the Great North Snowdog Trail. This consisted of us having to find sixty-two Snowdogs and ninety-seven little Snowdogs. That's one hundred and fifty-nine dogs in total.

And that's a lot of dogs.

We almost succeeded too. We managed to see one hundred and fifty-eight of the dogs in their locations. The only one we missed was called Patchwork who wasn't in Tyne and Wear at all. Seeing Patchwork was impossible for us. Never mind. We saw every other Snowdog and little Snowdog and we are very proud of ourselves for this achievement. We've also seen a lot of amazing sights along the way because Tyne and Wear is full of wonderful places.

For more information about our amazing quest and the way we were helped by our person, please see my first post on this blog. It can be found at http://blobandthesnowdogs.blogspot.co.uk/2016/11/blob-thing-and-winefride-welcome-you-to.html I confess that we all got more than a little obsessive about Snowdogs in the first half of November 2016. There are worse things to get obsessive about.

Please remember that the Great North Snowdogs existed not just as an enjoyable addition to the landscape of our wonderful county of Tyne and Wear but as a way to raise funds for St. Oswald's Hospice which is our local hospice and which does amazing work. To find out more about the hospice and see ways in which you can donate, should you wish to, please head over to their website. It can be found at http://www.stoswaldsuk.org/

I will include the above text in all my posts. It explains everything. If you get obsessive about Snowdogs too then don't feel you should read it every time. That would just be taking obsession a step too far.

Today's post contains pictures of the following Snowdogs:

Little Snowdog Pack 10

Another day, another set of dogs. Hooray! It's pack 10 and I'm over half way through. Hooray!

All together there were ninety-seven little Snowdogs to find and each one had been decorated by children from different places. The little Snowdogs, for their own safety I think and so they would have some sane conversation at night like I do with all my friends, had gathered themselves together into packs of dogs. The smallest pack had three dogs in it and the largest had nine dogs. And we went to see them all.

Some of the packs I will show you in just one post. Others will take more than one post. When there are eight or nine dogs there are a lot of pictures.

The pack I am showing you today is officially pack number ten, the third of the eleven little Snowdog packs to be living south of the River Tyne but the pack closest to the river.

Here are our pictures of Little Snowdog pack number ten. There were eight dogs in this pack.

We found these dogs on November 4th when Winefride and I were out having an adventure with our person. All she had to do was buy a pizza and somehow that turned into a full scale adventure involving Northumbrian pipes and a multi-storey car park. Along the way we saw this snowdog pack and several of the big snowdogs too. I'll be telling you about those lovely dogs in the new year.

We didn't take lots of pictures of these dogs though because we didn't know on November 4th that we would be undertaking a quest to see every dog by November 15th. We just didn't know. We thought we were just seeing some interesting things on the way to finding a pizza.

And then I had to order my person to take us back to the Sage before the 15th because I realised that she had made a terrible mistake. It was awful and needed to be rectified urgently. You see, she had only taken pictures of seven out of the eight dogs. And I wasn't going to cope well knowing that we were missing a dog. We had to go back. Fortunately my person didn't argue about it too much otherwise I would have been quite cross with her, like I was on the 6th when she totally forgot to take Winefride and me with her on a snowdog adventure. Silly person!

They're all very wonderful.

You can see how excited and happy both Winefride and I were to be on the trail of Snowdogs. We have had an amazing time. And I think our person has enjoyed herself too.

Ladies and gentlemen and non-binary gender individuals, I present to you ... Actually let's make this simple:

People, I present to you the tenth little Snowdog pack.

You'll be able to tell which dog we saw on the 14th. Ooh, I think you should know this too. This pack contained two dogs called Patch. How very confusing of them.
