HOORAY, HOORAY, it's a Doggy Holiday! *INTRO*
In case you haven't met the doggy in question, here he is, Bobby our Tibetan Terrier aged 19 months:
We didn't intend having an August holiday this year, but it all started when we noticed there was going to be a Tibetan Terrier Fun Day in Coventry, we thought that would be great for Bobby, and we could find out if they are all as crazy as he is! DH then realised that the village it was being held in was only about 20 mins drive from the marina where the company he works for keep their narrowboats. Some brand new boats were due to arrive at the marina in July, so he managed to get us free accommodation on one of them so we didn't have to do all the driving down to Coventry and back in one day. We then thought it might be nice to go down South and see the sea. After searching around, we managed to find a B&B in Mudeford, near Christchurch in Dorset, that allowed dogs. So, we went from a day out to a little doggy holiday for Bobby, here's his itinerary: Sat 2nd Aug - drive down in the afternoon and get installed on the boat! Sun 3rd Aug - Tibetan Terrier Fun Day. Mon 4th Aug - Visit Cotswold Wildlife Park which amazingly allows dogs to visit - thanks to Grumpy's Wife for opening my eyes to this. Followed by a quick trip into Stratford upon Avon on the way back. Tues 5th Aug-Thurs 6th Aug - drive down to Dorset for a couple of days by the sea! All to come in the next instalments: Would Bobby behave himself? What was the surprise at the Tibetan Fun Day? What was Bobby scared of most? Would Bobby howl all night and get us thrown out of the B & B? And the most important question of all, it was Bobby's first holiday, but will it be his last? All will be revealed ...
