We are in Cornwall for a week and we've just arrived at our self catering cottage. We broke the journey yesterday and stayed at The George in Longbridge Deverill. A really nice very dog friendly Inn.
We've stayed there before but not with the Pop dog. I must say she was very good; even in the bar for supper, although I was slightly annoyed by a customer feeding her dog biscuits. They didn't agree with her at first and she threw them up on the bedroom carpet. We had just scraped together paper and a damp towel to clean up when we discovered that Poppy decided to give them a second go. Not a trace. Not even a damp patch.
This morning at 06:30 I took Pops out for a wee and a pooh. Walking along the corridor I wondered what the knocking sound was only to discover that Poppy's permanently wagging tail makes a really fine door knocker! Two smart raps on each door we passed. Managed to escape undetected as the phantom knocker!
Out to supper at the house of some friends who have two boxers and a pond with koi carp. Will report back on whether the koi survived the Pop dog.

It could have been much worse because last visit she leapt into the pond from a distance displacing water and pond plants all over the place. This time despite much shouting she walked in and across causing much distress but minimal damage, I think.
are a different matter altogether
