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 15
Photographed on 10th November 2016 with some of the dogs seen on 24th September too.
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 fifteen. This pack lived inside the Winter Gardens in Sunderland, a place which also contains a lion, plants, lots of things to look at and even some dinosaurs. I got to sit on a dinosaur egg which was very exciting.
We saw these dogs on a very exciting day. A giant Snowdog day on which we visited every single Snowdog and little Snowdog in Sunderland. That's thirty-four dogs in total. A very busy day.
Here are our pictures of Little Snowdog pack number fifteen. There were six dogs in this pack.
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.
I present to you the fifteenth little Snowdog pack.
You'll be able to tell that even five days before finishing our Snowdog quest, we hadn't mastered the idea of looking out for little Snowdogs. It's very sad that Winefride and I didn't get to sit on all of these dogs. We missed out on the first.
The first dog, was called Albie. This dog was designed by St Leonard's RC Primary School.
The second dog is Lizzie, who was designed by Academy 360
The third dog is called Ozzy, and was designed by Thorney Close Primary School. Ozzy was hiding on a balcony upstairs where many people might have missed seeing him.
The fourth dog was called Patch, and was designed by Southwick Community Primary School.
The fifth dog in the pack was Rainbow Dog, and was designed by Vally Road Community Primary School.
The final dog was called Splat, and was designed by Hetton Lyons Primary School.
