In this edition, we fulfill Dubai Task Free Senior Citizen Vice President Marketing Sinéad El Sibai and Guinness, a little character who offered his Irish owner and name feels naturally at home at The Irish Town in Garhoud, Dubai.
Quality time at home: Presenting Sinéad and Guinness
Call + label: He is called Guinness as he was black with white trimmings when we got him, although now he is older he is more greyish obviously. Gin Gin for brief, however I am the only one who calls him that, together with our niece’s two-year-old.
Type: Guinness is a variety actually; a touch of Bichon Frieze, Poodle and a couple of other types.
How old is he? He’s 14, and while he is certainly decreasing a bit, we just recently heard that his mom is 17 and still going strong so ideally he will be around for a very long time to come. Guinness is nearly totally deaf though, however he doesn’t let it trouble him.
A completely pawed Guinness
How did you fulfill? A buddy’s dog had a litter and my sis Siobhan and I wished to contribute to our dog family. She had 2 little dogs and we had one mad dog called Snowy at the time who ran around in circles and disliked males, which was challenging with a spouse and 3 boys in your house.
We got Snowy from somebody in Lebanon. We believe he had actually seen some injury and we believed another dog would soothe him down. So, when our good friend stated there was a litter en route we bagged one puppy each.
The day we walked around to choose them up I was right away taken with Guinness.
Love at very first sight? Yes, I had actually desired a woman dog due to the fact that of the abovementioned male-dominated household. Nevertheless, on seeing Guinness I understood he would be a good fit.
Permanently pals: Guinness and Conor and (listed below) with Sinéad’s youngest kid, Liam
When I brought him home, my oldest kid Conor, who was a teen at the time, took him from me and they have actually been best pals since. Guinness rather likes the remainder of the family however he loves Conor. His arrival likewise had actually the wanted result of soothing Snowy down.
Wacky practices? He doesn’t like a lot of individuals in your house or excessive sound. In order to leave all of us, Guinness handled to discover a little rip in the lining below among the couches and he succeeded enough for him to get in and make a sort of hammock bed for himself. Far from the madding crowd.
No Irish bar would be total without Guinness and the Dubai Task Free-run Irish Town provides its own special canine variation envisioned here with Sinéad, other half Jihad (left) and (right) The Irish Town General Supervisor Dave Cattanach
Although he doesn’t like crowds at home, he likes going to The Irish Town in Garhoud, which is dog friendly, and we have actually taken him there a couple of times now. Guinness likes seeing the other dogs and acts himself, and when we exist the chef extremely kindly sends him out his own bowl of Irish stew. What’s not to enjoy?
Funniest and/or best minute? We chose to get both him and our rescue dog Lola (after Snowy) a correct grooming session so we got in touch with Shampooch, a regional grooming service, who brought their mobile grooming van to your house.

While Lola, a really obese pug, definitely liked being spoiled, Guinness was mortified at having a complete stranger ‘man-handle’ him while he was offered the Shampooch remodeling. That consisted of a hair shampoo, obviously, with great deals of bubbles, a trim all over and a coiffure. At the end he was offered his own neck headscarf.
Guinness simply took a look at us as if to state, ‘How could you ever do this to me?’. We have actually never ever utilized them given that.
Preferred technique? And deal with? He doesn’t do any techniques however his greatest reward or pleasure is his strolls, which he has around 3 times a day. When Conor remains in Dubai, he takes him out for hours in some cases; not surprising that Guinness likes him.
Guinness smells every blade of lawn so it is a bit bothersome, however he simply likes being out and about. He is extremely friendly with other dogs; in the beginning that is. He has a routine of going from great friendly smelling to snarling, specifically if they are huge dogs, which most remain in contrast to him.
He likes his food and deals with like all dogs obviously, however he has actually certainly gotten more curious as he ages. He now likes prawns, salmon and loves chicken and can smell these foods cooking from any part of your house.
Guinness as a child delighting in home conveniences
Social network account? No, Guinness is a really personal dog.
If Guinness could talk what would his very first words be?
“Why do you have to leave me and go to work/go on holiday/go out for dinner?”
He definitely dislikes seeing luggage coming out as he understands one or everybody are disappearing. Thankfully, we have Rose who cares for us and him and he likes her too.
Favourite airport/airline: Guinness has actually never ever taken a trip and I believe it would be terrible for him if he remained in the hold. I think that Etihad have a service where you can take a trip with your dog in the cabin; that would be dazzling.
Anything else we should understand? I am pleased we have actually constantly had dogs in the family and the young boys all enjoy animals as an outcome. Regretfully, Lola died 18 months earlier so Guinness is on his own. He certainly craved her however he appears happy enough now and I am not exactly sure if he desires a buddy at this phase, however let’s see.
