Travels with my dog.

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Have a great time...looking forward to the photos (especially the pirate costumes).

I'm looking forward to it too, all the camping stuff has miraculously come back together quite easily, just a few batteries in torches and things have needed replacing and we're ready for off on Friday! Ahoy there shipmates! Shiver me timbers!

You mean you don't think she'd like this?

We have had a wonderful time! Lots of nice people and on the first evening we purely by chance met up with an old friend who has moved away and who we hadn't seen for eleven years! Lots of catching up to do there! Best of all has been Joy's reaction to it. She has absolutely taken everything in her stride, remaining calm and settled, friendly with everyone, and so many people have commented that she's a lovely dog. Lots of photos taken, here are a few.

Who knew that black Labradors were the preferred dog of pirates? Way to go, GGJ!

 

[Jacqui-S]

Were there many dogs there Candy?

 

[Candy]

Lots and lots of dogs! Joy's made a lot of new friends.

 

[Jacqui-S]

Nice!

Fabulous @Candy , looking good me hearty !

We stayed an extra night as we were having such a good time! Massive thunderstorm and heavy rain but it had stopped in time for me to take the tent down today. Karen kindly took a flattering photo of me squashing the air out of it while Joy looked on, bemused, then we couldn't move the motor home because of the mud so the farmer, who is an absolutely lovely man, had to pull us out with his tractor. Home now, showered and feeling clean again! Apart from a short walk this afternoon Joy has done nothing but sleep. Oh, and eat of course! Looking forward to the next one which is in a couple of weeks time in Wales!

squashing the air out of it

Our tent is a 6 person one so pretty big. We both lay on it to get the air out of it. It has to fit into it’s own suitcase which is a skill in itself getting the size correct. We always do a ‘high five’ when we’ve done it

Yes, mine also has to fit into it's own suitcase and will have to come out again on the next fine day to dry and then be refolded to go back in. Hard work, but so well worth it! All ready then for the next adventure!

I can't believe GGJ is supervising so sensibly! Well, maybe I can - she is GGJ after all

If I lay down like that near Ella, she would be bouncing in my face, play bowing, possibly barking and definitely shoving a toy in my face!
