Planet earth is blue.

But there’s something we can do.

“My brother’s dog Bowie [above) got out of her collar at lunchtime today at the junction of  Ballymun Rd and Griffith Avenue [Dublin. She’s pretty distinctive looking – a medium sized collie mix with two different coloured eyes and long tufts of hair coming out of her ears. They’re really worried. THank you.”

Anyone?

Sandy.

Currently housed at Doggy Doo, Lexlip, Co Kildare.

“I was hoping to put up a post of all the lovely dogs that I groomed today instead of having do this post instead. This is “Sandy”, her “owner” asked if I could groom her today as he was going on holidays so although I was full I helped him out. When I phoned him to say that Sandy was ready, I was told to “f” off and that he had abandoned the dog with me. What a vile human being! To be honest, he doesn’t deserve her, this little lady deserves a proper home with people who will look after her and love her. She WILL get her forever home. The way you treat your pets is a reflection on your character. What a horrid man. This has been reported to the relevant authorities and I hope this new Animal Welfare act will come down hard and heavy on him…”

“I know you don’t normally do this but I bought this belt, 18 years ago (yikes) from the beltmaker who used to be on Grafton Street [Dublin] beside A-wear. I’d love to find him, and buy another belt. It’s the oldest piece of clothing I own and as good today as the day I bought it. Anyone know what happened to him? Asked around, no dice!”

proposal[The corner of Merrion Street and Clare Street, Dublin 2]

They’re down on bended knee.

“On Saturday, January 12 this year I proposed to my girlfriend Mary (AKA Clerkster: you have published various pics from her over the past few years). I did the deed on the corner of Merrion Square and Clare Street (for various sentimental reasons) around 2pm. Thankfully she said yes and we are getting married next summer.

As I dropped to one knee a group of four/five Italian/Spanish tourists noticed what I was doing. They gave us a lovely round of applause and one of them offered to take a photo of us and to email it to me. I wrote down my email address on a scrap of a paper but as anyone who has proposed will tell you there were tears and general shakiness everywhere and my handwriting all over the place. Due to the madness of the day we didn’t think of taking any other photos.

So finally five months later after checking my spam folder three times every day, I’ve kinda given up hope of the photo showing up. But there was one Irish guy with the group of tourists so I’m hoping he might be a Broadsheet reader and might be able to forward us a photo, no matter how weird a pose we struck ‑ I’m pretty sure we had completely forgotten how to smile due to all of the excitement.”

“I know you don’t normally do this but I lost my watch [A Bvlgari Automatic.] on Saturday night it was a present from my deceased father and is of massive sentimental value to me it’s similar to this picture (above) but with a black leather strap I would be more than happy to offer a reward for it’s return. I was a little tipsy on South William Street [Dublin] around 1am when it went missing due to a dodgy clasp. Many thanks to anyone to that can help…”
