Me at another GARDEN

I think I will howl if we get dragged round another garden.  Whats wrong with taking us for a walk in open fields? Lets face it there are plenty of beautiful spots to go for a walk that are only a few minutes away from our peak district cottages.  At least there we are allowed to run around off our leads. In a GARDEN we have to be on our leads and on our best behavior (which is very difficult for idiot brother). So why do we keep getting dragged to gardens? Because mistress likes them.  Not sure about master! I think he just goes along for an easy life. Anyway on Wednesday we got dragged off in the CAR to Consall Hall Gardens.   I suppose it wasn’t too bad as at  least we had a long walk around the miles of footpaths and tracks.  Lunch as usual was a total wash out – not even a crumb.

Consall Gardens

I think idiot brother has given up on ever getting fed at lunch time.  He just curls up and goes to sleep.  Me -  I stay alert and ready. Just in case!

In the evening I was allowed to show of my cow herding skills again as master and mistress helped to get the milk cows in for the farm opposite.  This is great fun and no idiot brother. He has to be left at home as he is scared of cows.  I have no problem with the cows.  They know who is boss.  Master does seem to get a bit irate with me when I try and nip them to get them moving, but I am sure I have heard somewhere that is what you are supposed to do.  I do admit I might be just a little bit over enthusiastic at times but it is only because I am trying to help.

In My-Home dog sitting

Dont leave your dog "bored" in a kennel let her stay in my home while your away.

Im my home dog sitting includes services like walking your dog, sitting with her by the fire, and feeding her own brand of dog food on your schedule. I also properly medicate animals who need oral, topical or injectable daily medications.

please call with any questions and to set up an appointment and a visit to my home.

all dogs must be dog friendly and current with vaccinationsincluding DHLPP, Bordetella and Rabies. All dog must have veterinarian approved flea prevention applied.

WHAT DO YA THINK?? SHOULD I CALL HER…..

Worth a shot. Do ask for references, proof of liability insurance, and ask if she takes other dogs at the same time, or just one family’s at a time. My dog’s massage therapist does this. She takes only two at a time, they are treated like her own pets, and her rates are great as well. She does have insurance and a license for the business and uses contracts. Make sure this person does likewise for your protection.

My wife and I will be holidaying near Welshpool in September with our two dogs. Any details of dog friendly pubs/gardens etc would be appreciated. Also, places where dogs can be walked off-the-lead, we particularly like woodland walks. Cheers!

Have you tried the Dogs Trust website? They have a section on dog friendly venues which might help you. They are split into sections and you can check by area. Could also try the book ‘Good Guide to Dog Friendly Pubs, Hotels and B and Bs’ published by Edbury Press which will help with pubs and beer gardens. Tried to check for you but not sure where Welshpool is! Sorry!
Hope this helps! Enjoy your holiday!

Does anybody know of a dog friendly Inn/Hotel on the Beach in Dorset which they would recommend for a weeks holiday?

Try to get the Daily Mail for Saturday lst March. There are lots of hotels listed which will take dogs. Or get one of the dog magazines, they have lists.
