Camping and Exploring with Dogs

The adventures of Portland Cat

2013-05-20T08:51:00.001+01:00

On monday morning (after breakfast and morning wees) we went for a drive up to portland bill

Portland Bill is a nice area on a cliff top with rocks to climb, nice views and ... A lighthouse! (But this isnt dog friendly inside, we wud probably struggle with the stairs any way)

We had a nice walk around looking at the water below and the lighthouse and climbed on some of the rocks (think they were what you call "portland stone") and we sat fur a while and ate some cake and had drinks on one of the rocks.

There is a nice grassy area next to the stone bits what you can walk on and maybe have a picnic and enjoy the scenary (just dont go in thr fenced off area what be MOD and says "keep out dogs working")

Greyt things about Portland Bill !

~big reasonably priced car park
~lots of nice coast views
~lots to sniff and climb if you want to
~cafe on site
~toilets
~local walks

Play date with Bran and Ernie

2013-05-19T17:20:00.001+01:00

Once hooman girl had finally got the tent to stand up we set off to Bournmouth to meet up wiff my fwends fur walkies (well we got a bit lost, then we got stuck in traffic the we got a bit more lost then we got to Bran's house at long last)

We decided on going to the beach and so we drove down to the seafront (I've been here before for the Air Show) Bran showed me where we could walk now it was beach season which means that we can only zoom in certain places. We went on to the beach and all did zoomies and playing. Mahself and Ernie had races and played chase and bran did some solo zoomies and play bows (he's an indendant sort of guy) Ernie did some diving in the sea and chased some seagulls that were digging in to some cuttlefish for their dinner.

After we had used up all our energy we walked back to our wheelies and said bye to Ernie coz he had go get hims hooman puppy. Mahself, Bran, my hooman girl, Brans hoomans and Ontie Em all went back to Brans where the hoomans chatted and us hounds snoozed. Brans hairy hooman cooked dinner for the hoomans and he had made cake fur afters (it was all bery nommy if you ever get invited to brans I suggest you go). Once the hoomans were done chatting and nomming hooman girl said we had to go find the campsite again and make sure the tent was still standing and get the air beds inflated ready fur nite time (plus i still hadnt had dinner).

So we all said goodbye to each other and hairy hooman gave us some cake to take back to the tent with us.

I had soopa time, it was luffly to see my fwends again and get some proper pointy nosed playing in.

Thank you Bran and his hoomans fur haffing us over and fur the noms and Ernie fur playing wiff mahself, it was lots of pointy nosed fun!

Higher Moor Farm - Weymouth

2013-05-19T16:58:00.001+01:00

Sunday 12th May

Hooman girl comed down stairs at 7am (yes 7am) and began putting lots different noms in to a special bag to stop them getting hot incase the sun came out! Then her loaded bags and sleepy bags and pillows and the camera in to the wheelies (i stayed on the sofa soopavisings). Once her wuz dun organising I was taken fur morning weez and then loaded in to the wheelies as well!

All set and secure we began our adventure!

We drove along lots of zigzaggy roads twisting and turning until we came to a gate and a security barrier. We had arrived at higher moor farm campsite - hooman girl entered a magic code in to the machine and the barrier opened and let us into the field.

- i'll skip all the putting tent up dramas but i sunbathed and had a late breakfast whilst it happened around me -

The campsite

Higher moor farm is a medium sized campsite that allows tents, caravans, and motorhomes (just no commercial vehicles) and naturally dogs are welcomed.
So its like a big field with a little road up the middle and lots little cabins dotted around which are the toilets, showers, etc.

There is also a play park plus goal net, basketball hoop and table tennis table, a farm shop and a sectioned off doggy walking/toilet area (coz it is not polite to do #pooclub on your neighbours doorstep.)

Toilets/showers

The toilets are inside one of the little portacabins but inside it looks lovely and smart. There are about 5 cubicles and 2 showers (with hand basins for private washing area), a really pawsome hand dryer and a hair dryer too.

The soap dispensers work and were well stocked, plenty of loo roll and the cleanest we seen on a campsite if not overall.

The main door kept swinging open and not securing when shut on the 1st day we stayed but they put a self closing mechanism in whilst we were there which fixed this problem (but stopped me spying on hooman girl).

Play area

No dogs allowed in the play area but it is close to the tent pitches on that side of the site so you can keep peepers on the hooman puppies whilst they play safely.

Dog toilet/walking area

This is a part of the field that has a perimiter fence around it (only around one side so isnt secure area) for you to do wees and pooclub.
This is good because alot of sites say dogs to be exercised off site but that not soopa practical for last wees before bed or early morning pooclub so this is nice to only have to walk to the corner the field - just cross your legs until you get there (we camped as close to it as we could get)

Farm shop

I not sure if dogs are allowed in here but i think not so i waited in the wheelies and sent hooman girl to check out the inside.
They sale ice cream, frozen dinners, dog food, cake, post cards, drinks, sweets, fruit, essential camping equipment like wash products and tinned food and even camping stoves.
It was a nice shop and not too expensive either, nice hooman working there too he was soopa fwendly (hooman girl didnt ask his name tho).

Washing facilities

There is a washing up point on side of the toilet block and roomer has it that there is a laundry room which also has a washing up sink - we didnt see it but the map says its the other side the site by the farm barns. I have seen fotos of it on their facebook page and it looks soopa so if you stay longer than 2 days then you could check those out.

Pawsome points!

1. Not a large site so not overly busy and crowded but also plenty space for everyone
2. Good size pitches
3. Staff are friendly and helpful (they let us check in early too so we could get set up before going go meet my fwends)
4. Clean
4. Good facilities
5. Free wifi
6. Free showers which are temperture and pressure controlled by you

Things that weren't so soopa

1. Very windy insite so peg down that tent well and the grounds very soft so the tent pegs do move about when it's especially windy
2. The electricity pilon was quite noisy at times
3. No locks on shower cubicles

Park Day 2.0 BINGO!

2013-05-10T17:53:00.003+01:00

My friend Misaki mentioned on her blog that she had been playing park day bingo which is a game invented by Gizmo and Finn.

Long tail short you have to choose a bingo card off Gizmo's blog and do all the items on it to make a line of 5 and then shout BINGO!

I've chosen 2 cards to work on whilst I'm away camping next week.

Here they are ....

I will update this when I get my Bingos!

Pedigree Nutrition Plan!

2013-05-04T18:54:00.000+01:00

So I was surfing the interweb the other week when an email popped in from my good friends at pedigree; as some of you know I did the Pedigree Joint Care + trial last year and they were wondering if I might like to take part in another sort of trial for their "nutritional plan" where basically I have to eat a bunch their food and treats for 4 weeks and answer some questions about the foods I been eating - This is my favourite sort of product trial coz one thing I'm quite soopa good at is eating.

  HAS YOUR DOG HAD HIS 4 A DAY ?

At Pedigree^® we believe all dogs should be fed great quality, nutritious food they love.
That is why we've developed our best ever products to support 4 key health areas for your dog's overall health and wellbeing.

HEALTHY TEETH AND BONES:
4 out of 5 dogs over age three may have gum disease, which can lead to serious health problems. Pedigree^® Dry has an active ingredient on the kibbles that helps to prevent the build up of tartar & a specially designed texture that helps clean your dog's teeth. All Pedigree^® wet and dry food contains calcium to support healthy bones.

HEALTHY DIGESTION:
Bellies aren't just for rubbing. They're for absorbing nutrients, too. So we've upped the levels of nutrients and optimized the natural fibres in our recipes. That special blend can help maintain a healthy digestive tract, which helps your dog get the nutrition he needs to fuel all the amazing things his body does.

SKIN AND COAT:
Think of all the things your dog digs in, runs through, pounces on, rubs against, and rolls in. They're not exactly clean, are they? And the main barriers between your dog and dirt, the elements, and other nasty things, are his skin and coat. All Pedigree^® wet and dry food are formulated with key essential oils including Omega 6 to help support healthy skin and a shiny coat.

SUPPORTS IMMUNE SYSTEM:
No matter how tough your dog seems to be on the outside, his real strength starts on the inside with a healthy immune system. So to help keep your dog strong where it really counts, our recipes have been formulated with enhanced levels of antioxidants like vitamin E to support his immune system

Schmackos

Dogs love meat and you love to treat your dog with the things he likes best.

Omega 3 to help keep him fit for life
Calcium to help give him strong teeth & bones
Vitamins and Minerals to help maintain his natural defences

Developed with vets
Low in fat -‐ small/medium contains 49 calories per stick, large contains 67 calories

Available in weekly 7 stick packs or 3 weekly 21 stick packs

So about the trial -

Before Pedigree sent me the food and treats they emailed us a questionnaire asking important questions about my eating habits and exercise and health etc.

For example they asked how old I was, what breed I was and how mobile I am, how much exercise I get a day on average and if my weight is okay or not.

Then after I tried the foods they want to know how I got on so have asked me to tell them if I liked the food, if I ate it all or left it, what my favourite bits were and if I will carry on eating it or recommend it to a friend.

STAY TUNED! ....

Cornish Beaches by Bazil

2013-05-04T16:54:00.000+01:00

As I haven't been to much of Cornwall and only seen 3 beaches there I asked a friend of mine to help me out with some vital info on a few more Cornwall Beaches.

Bazil is a young Terrier (he tells me he a Jack Russel X Border Terrier), He recently agreed to share his forever sofa with a sisfur called Molly and they love nothing more than a zoom and sniff at the beach and sporting rather fetching bandanna’s! (I do luff a bandanna!!!)

Crantock Beach – Newquay

Car Parking – there is a National Trust car park for the beach, open all year but charges apply only during National Trust season, free to National Trust members.

This is the most amazing beach for zoomies, when the tide is low the beach is huge. You can walk to Crantock at low tide from Newquay along the river Gannel. Up from the beach there are some brilliant dunes which are great for exploring but we stay on our leads otherwise we would chase the bunnies & you need to watch for adders in the Spring months as they don’t take to kindly to us sniffing at their young and can give us dogs a nasty bite! Ouch!

Dog waste bins in the car park. Pooey!

Just up from the National Trust car park is a cafe for yummy noms, which is open during the summer season.

Fistral Beach – Newquay

Car Parking - there is a car park at the beach which is controlled by “Parking Eye” cameras, make sure you put a ticket on your car as the fine for not paying is huge!

You can also park at the other end of the beach, South Fistral, up at Pentire on the road which is free. This does get busy during the summer months though.

Fistral is a famous surfer’s beach which is very popular and gets very busy in the summer, it is dog friendly all year round but we tend to only go in the evenings during the busy times as it is quieter then. We’ve watched lots of great sunsets down here in the evenings. Another big beach at low tide and lots of locals uses it for dog walking. Lots of bins situated along the beach so no excuse not to pick up our poop!

At South Fistral end is dog friendly Bodhis, for just a coffee or a full dinner and down the main end of the beach are some surf shops, we have to go in Fat face every time for mum. There is also a dog friendly beach bar for a cheeky beer or a coffee, a Ben & Jerrys ice cream shop which sells Cornish pastys & sausage rolls and a seasonal fish n chip shop, nom nom!

It is also good to walk up to the headland from here where you can sometimes see the famous Cribber wave and some very brave surfers and some spectacular views. For a real treat you can pop into the very posh, dog friendly Headland Hotel for a yummy cream tea.

Mawgan Porth

Car Parking – there are some privately owned car parks which tend to charge by the day/half day across the road from the beach.

Dog poo bins at the edge of the beach.

Another year round dog friendly beach where the tide goes out a long way, with a stream running in to the sea. We like to walk across the beach up onto the cliff path along to Bedruthan Steps where there is a National Trust (open National Trust season), this is normally where we take mum for her mother’s day cream tea. Dogs are only allowed in the garden here though, pfft. There is also a national trust shop and some picnic benches if you like to bring your own noms.

Mum n dad also like a very basic campsite up at Bedruthan Steps, open July and August only,dog friendly with the most amazing views. Watch the sun go down eating your BBQ and wake up to the sound of wildlife and the sea, heaven.

Newquay Harbour to Lusty Glaze

Car Parking - you can park in one of the many public car parks located in or near the town.

This is a lovely walk to do at low tide, pop on your wellies and take a long stroll from the harbour where you can often see the seals , across Towan, Great Western , Tolcarne and onto Lusty Glaze. During the summer months you can’t go up from the beach at Tolcarne or Lusty Glaze as dogs are prohibited, although at Lusty we are allowed on the beach in the evenings, I think from 6pm. All the beaches are accessed by steep steps/hills so not for those of you who like the flat. You must also keep an eye on the tide times as it is easy to get cut off at Lusty end of the beaches.

Treyarnon to Constantine Bay

Car Parking – all year round parking in a field by the beach, charges by the day during summer season.

There is a burger van and small shop in the car park and also public toilets. There is also a YMCA hostel and cafe.

Poo bins located near the toilets.

We love it here, a small beach at Treyarnon but a huge long beach at Constantine. We like to go down on the rocks at Treyarnon with the nets and buckets for some amazing rock pooling and walk along to Constantine. There is sometimes a coffee van at the top of Constantine and there are public toilets just off the beach.

Perranporth

Car Parking - there is a pay on entry car park at Perranporth, charges during summer months.

Public toilets are in the car and poo bins are at the edge of the beach.

Perranporth is a holiday town with various pasty shops, fish n chip shops, pubs and cafes. The Watering Hole is a lovely dog friendly pub on the beach that does the best hot chocolate around (so the boy tells me) and some good food.

A huge long beach at low tide which is dog friendly all year round, but there is a restriction during the summer months to keep us on our leads during certain times (I’m not sure what these times are) this beach gets mega busy where the lifeguarded area is but not so busy further along. A great out of season beach for long walk and super zoomies.

The Greyt Charity Dog Meet and Fun Dog Show - What happened?

2013-03-23T23:41:00.001Z

So as you all know we have been organising the Greyt Charity Dog Meet for some months now (seems like fureva!) and as the date creeped closer and closer we got more and more paniked especially in the last week when all it has done is rain and rain and rain and rain... *sigh*

Any way, last night after endless rain and the area flooding and having landslips and fallen trees we had 7 voice messages, 105 facebook notifications, and 12 emails ranging from "I cant make it because.." and "will the event be cancelled"

Any way.. we REFUSED to cancel the event. A bit (ok a lot) of rain doesn't put us off. and so at 0730 this morning mayhem ensued at our house with boxes being moved around and put in the car and then I was bundled in with them all as well and we drove down the road and in to a big gate, and then we had unpack orl the boxes and then lots other hoomans turned up with their boxes and unpacked dem too!

Once everyone was done unpacking (well before actually) more hoomans arrived with lots of different dogs in all sorts of shapes and sizes and colours.

They all did some shopping, buying treats and jams and soaps and cakes and things and then at 12:00 we started the doggy show.

There was 14 classes

Some of you may remember I told you about a survey that Money Supermarket was running about fears that us pets have. and that I had filled in the survey telling them all about what scares me (and believe me ALOT scares me!)
Well I have just received an email from my fwend Louise from Money Supermarket telling me the results are out!

Here's what they learnt from mahself and mah fwends who filled in their survey - see if you can spot which bits are about mahself :)

Weekend Camping - Just me and my girl!

2013-03-14T11:56:00.001Z

So I have been thinking for a while that I need to go up to Portsmouth again and see my good fwend Sir Elfie as he was the one what taught me how to play with others last year when I visited with him for the GBGW and I wanted to show him how I much I learnt!

So I did looking on the interweb for somewhere to stay fur the nite and founds a nice sheeps farm what I could stay at so I did do orl the booking and paying fur that (well hooman girl did coz dem wudnt accept bookings from a hound or something!)

So Saturday morning comes and I was rudely pulled from my bed at 6am, taken fur wees and put in to the car (after putting my harness and seat belt on of course!) Hooman girl did lots of driving and I took the opportunity to catch up on my sleep that I had missed out on when I was taken to the car in the middle of the night.

Any ways, us did getting to West Wittering and had to drive up this really bumpy holey lane to get to the sheeps farm. We did arriving and it was only 0915am so the driving didn't take long at all really. It went soopa fast!

Us went to the reception bit of the farm to tell the farm hoomans we had arrived .... but no one was there :( So us did ringing the mobile fone to let them know we wuz heer ... but there was no answer :( So we did ring the office numba that was on the door ... but no one said heywo! We left a message fur them to do ringing us wen dem wuz quite ready to talk. We waited outside the farm fur a likkle bit, Had a smorl walk around so I could stretch mah legs and do my wees. But still no one came to say heywo to us. *sigh*

So I made the decision to go back down to Portsmouth to meet my good fwend Sir Elfie (plus his sisfur Moo, their hooman puppies, our fwend Rex and the hoomans) and I would come back laterz to put the tent up at the farm.

We did getting to Portsmouth (or Eastney actually!) and I did sit on the beach fur a little bit to eat my bwekfast and get my walkies outfit on. I sended Elfie a message on the fone to say we wuz heer and him did say we wuz a bit in the wrong place and to walk up towards his house and him wud meet me and show me where to goze to get to our adventure. So that's what we did.

Once I had found Elfie, Moo, Ontie Jenn and the hooman pups we walked up the road and I sore lots and lots of boats what wuz soopa hexciting, I luff boats. Then we walked across a bridge and Q up to get on a soopa boat that will take us to a island where we can run and zoom and hexplore and sniff and orl sorts.

Heer we are on the boat....

We arrived on the island (it like a 5 min ride) and met Rex and his hooman there. Then we walked ova to the sand joons and beach and some hexploring.

Heers some highlites...

Elfie doing showtink at Moo and mahself watching him!

Heywo Elfie

Once we were back on earth and we said bye bye to Elfie and Moo; I walked back to the wheelies and we drove back to the campsite to see if any one was home this time.

They was ... Wooohooo! Dem did telling mahself dem must of been looking after new baby lambs when I came earlier. So any way. We arrived, told the hoomans we was heer and the one hooman did showing hooman girl the options of where we could put the tent for the night. There's like - I dunno - 5 paddocks what you can put your tent or caravan/campervan/motor home in. We chose the 1st once coz it was nearest and that just makes most sense. The hooman said to not put the wheelies on the grass coz of all the mud and things and instead coz them not busy just to leave the wheelies by the gate in to the paddock thing. There was only one other hoomans staying and they had parked their motor home on the pathway that runs up in front all the other paddocks (not infront of ALL of them it wud be a hoooge wheelies to do that).

Any ways. Hooman girl put the tent up and I soopervised (I'm helpy like that!) Her did quite a soopa job since her had do it her ownself and it quite a soopa big tent really with just 2 hooman hands to use!

Heer I am infront of it *nods*

So let me tell you some good and not so good things about the campsite!

Well 1st of all the campsite is called Stubcroft farm and it is in Stubcroft lane, East Wittering

Good Bits

It's quiet
There's lots of space
The farmer man wuz very helpy, showed us where to go and said if us need to ask anythink, want a map or directions or informations or anything to go tell him.
It's close to West Wittering and East Head beach what is a soopa soopa place to visit for walkies and zoomies and paddling and picnics and things. Soopa!
It has a shop onsite for "essentials" like wet wipes, snozzages, drinks, that kinda thing.
Its "eco-friendly" it has lots of spesal hooman toilets and showers what is nice to the environment and lots of recycling bins. (Although I cant tell you anything about this or show you photos coz dem wuz orl locked up when we was there)
It's easy to find. Prob best not to use a sat nav unless you do what we did which was instead of putting the posty codes in we put "Tile Barn Lane" in to the satty nav and it took us there. Then you just need turn on to Stubcroft lane and drive up the bumpy lane to get there.
It doesn't cost lots to stay there
It close to shops and take aways and things so you can go get noms
They allow firepits and BBQ's (if you use the stones provided)

Not so good bits

There's BANGS. I do not luff bangs and things kept going BANG BOOM all the time. (I think wuz a bird scarer thing but it mite of been a hunter I dont know fur certains)
The lane to get to the farm is soopa bumpy and full of holes and things (coz it belongs to the farm so it not nice and road like)
It soopa muddly so rememba yooz boots or wellys
The washing up water taps didnt work (they prob will in summer though)
They didnt answer their fones for ages and then said we shud of rang their mobile (but we did do that a bunch times!)

The Edgemoor Hotel - Bovey Tracey - as recommended by Holly Terrier

2013-03-06T21:34:00.001Z

Holly would like to recommend The Edgemoor Hotel in Bovey Tracey! Here's what she has to say!

Holly in the snow

We was going on dis hot date last munf for Auntie Lynne's birthday but was too icy then so went Friday instead. We go to Edgemoor Hotel, Bovey Tracey. Bit hexpensive, cording to Mummy, but twas for Auntie Lynne's birthday lunch so OK for special tweat. Mummy rang up & booked us table for 2 dogs & 2 Mummies in dog bar, table next to fire. Well me & Mummy arrived first...I was very 'cited. Jumped out of car and ran into garden (saw a squirrel there at Christmas Fair & just needed to check if it was still there...it wasn't). Had a walk round the garden and did some excellent zoomies on the lawn. Went to reception with Mummy & was shown to our table, lovely comfy seats, roaring fire, jar of gravy bones on the bar. Lady was very helpful & dog friendly. Told her we was waiting for Auntie Lynne & Scooby and as soon as Mummy saw their car the lady went outside to greet them and show them the way. Got very 'cited when Scooby came in. We did some, smooching, some snuggling & I gave him my best love. Lady took scoffs order for Mummies (we had gravy bones already). Then she said we could play off leads and she would shut bar door so we could have fun & relax together. Scoobs & I explored every inch of room & scampered about rugby tackling each other. When the human food arrived we sat very nicely by our mummies and helped them eat it. Lady got us a big bowl of fresh water too so we did some slurping. Another mummy came in with her elderly terrier. We didn't play with him but we didn't try to eat him either. We had wonderful time & would recommend dis hotel for any special occassion / night out / bar snack when coming home from Dartmoor / etc. It is open to non-residents. They positively encourage dogs & walkers (mud not a problem !). You can also stay there with your dog. They have special rooms which open onto doggy lawn at back (that's where the squirrel lives). You can take all your meals in the doggy bar, pupdogs and Mummies & Daddies all together. In the summer they also have a lovely garden with sooper seats outside and good sniffs too but in winter the log fire in the doggy bar is just perfect. Scoobs and I were very happy with our hot date.

After that we went for a big long walkies round Yarner Woods (it's only about a mile up the road). Had a lovely walkies & did lots of zooming with Scoobs. That's the end of my report. Hope you enjoyed it. Love Holly Hols, lick, lick, slurp, slurp XXXX

A Boat Ride to Meet Harry the Spaniel @spanielharry

2013-02-27T18:10:00.003Z

So this morning the hoomans packed my bag and got me dressed to go on a wheelies ride, we drove for a bit (stopped to go to the bank so hooman girl cud pay fur our next camping adventure) and then got to a place called Kingswear; now I been heers before but we comed by train last time! . We parked the wheelies and walked down the hill towards the waterz where we stopped and I got admired by some other hoomans.

Then we had walk down a big metal thing like a bridge

When we got to the bottom we queued up to get on a BOAT!

Here she comes

Sniffing the sea air

I jumped on board and choosed a good place to stand to watch from

Then I asked the hooman on the boat fur a ticket to the uva side

When we got to the uva side we walked up the road past the park and waiting fur us wuz .... HARRY!!

Harry is a very faymus spangle, he wrote a booky called "Help, my dogs on twitter" you'll recognise him from when I interviewed him late last year when he told me about his booky and his favourite place for an adventure (what was the beach!).
So we did sniff each uva, and get fusses off each uvas hoomans. Harry did show an impressive greyhound lean spangle stylee and knock mah hooman girl ova in da mud wen her wuz fussing himself BOL

Fusses and tummy tickles from mah hooman

Harry couldnt stay to bark very long coz hims grandmas coming and his sisfur Maggie wuz waiting in their wheelies. But before him left we had a foto taken together and arranged to do beach zoomies together when the coldness goes away and the sun comes out which will be soopa! :)

Follow Harry on Twitter @spanielharry

In-Animal Objects - What are you scared of?

2013-02-21T10:26:00.003Z

I had an email the other week from my friend Louise at Money Supermarket she was asking me for some input on a survey they were going to run. This is what she had to say :

Here at MoneySupermarket, we’re planning to conduct a pet survey to find out what pets are scared of and the sorts of strange things they love. Like, for example, my little dog Harvey absolutely loves balloons (your guess is as good as mine as to where the obsession has come from!) and would never be without his teddy

Heres the fotos to prove her point

Any way of course I jumped at the chance to be involved in the survey and as many of you will know I have alot to say on the subject of fears.

So last week I got a follow up email from Louise with the link to the survey in. They were asking questions such as "what makes you jump?" and "how do you react when you come in to contact with something that scares you?" and "what strange objects do you like?" I did filling in the survey and I thought to share it with you too so you could give Money Supermarket your thoughts on the matter also. To get involved just click here and you will be taken to the survey!

Becky Falls - Dartmoor National Park

2013-02-19T21:14:00.000Z

So since hooman girl went and got herself a new job her hasn't been home soopa lots (Dont worry I'm not being left alone; my hooman boy is looking after me!) so this morning her did get up and say to my ownself "Cat, would you like to go on an adventure?" I did say "hmmm, well I had planned on doing some snoozing then swapping sofas and doing some snoozing on that one too. and that's just BEFORE lunch. But okays I guess I can snooze laterz!"

We packed a bag ...

My Milgi Coats coat
My cardigan
My demontforts treat bag and some treats
My water bottle
A towel
A torch
Hooman drinks
Cheesy snozzage rolls, cereal bar, pack of crisps
Poop bags
The Camera

... and I got my lead , put my car harness on and off we went!

We had to drive for a bit so I did some snoozing in the back seat of the car whilst hooman girl told the wheelies where to go and then I did wake up and recognise the road we wuz on and got quite hexcited- this is where I did running and playing wiff my pointy fwends - but hooman girl said "No Cat, we not going to see the pointy noses today. We going walkies just me and yoo OKs?" pfft no fairs!

So after a bit more driving hooman girl stopped the wheelies, wound down the window (well pressed a button and the window opened itself) and talked to a man. The man took us pennies and gave us a sticker and told us to park the wheelies and walk towards the yellow signs. We did do that. When we got out the wheelies I was soopa hexcited to get started with my hexploring and I wouldn't stand still and wait fur hooman girl to get the bag, lock the car and put my coat on me. Her had to hold me still and tell me "No" and "Wait" quite a lot times bepaw her cud get my coat on me and do it up. but finally her was finished fussing and tutting and off we set!

We had to cross the road and walk down a hill

Where are we?

and then we came to the cafe area, I had a good look through the windows of the cafe (but it's not dog friendly) but there is benches outside what you can sit on to eat noms if you are a hooman with a dog.

So it turns out we are at "Becky Falls" - We have been here before quite a few years ago on my 1st ever holiday after I was adopted - read about that visit here.

First we had a look over the fence at the river flowing along nicely

and then we saw the goats in their paddock (he's got some rocks to climb too)

Next we had to cross a bridge to get to the walks

Reminds me of this story ...

So yeah any way ... we trip trapped across the bridge to the other side where we had to choose the blue path or the red path.

We choose to go on the red path what said "slippery when wet, steep and rough in places. for the fit and well shod." - but I dont have .. shods!

We walked along the path and jumped down the steps and then I climbed on a big rock and posed for some photos.

Then I stopped to admire the views from uptop the steps...

... then walked down the steps to look at it close up

There was another bridge across this part of the river/waterfall what we needed to cross to get to the other side. "why did the greyhound cross the bridge? to get to the other side"

After the bridge there was quite a tricky bit to do what was climbing up some rocky steps - it was quite tricky to find places to put my feet to climb up it and to do good jumpings and I did a little cry coz I was a bit scared and confused but hooman girl held my collar and told me to jump and I did and her caught me and it was okays.

Here I am looking and deciding what to do

There was lots of things to look at and sniff along the way, I really liked watching the waterfall and river and jumping and climbing over all the rocks and tree roots.

We came to the "money tree" and put 20p in it so that the serpent wouldn't get us during the 2nd half our walk.

Can you see our 20p?

We walked on some more and got to the top of the waterfall - wooohooo. It was luffly to look at and look back down it to the bridge what we crossed earlier.

and ofcourse I posed for fotos by it.

After stopping her for a little bit, we had walk a little more and climb some BIG rocks and then we were at the end! It took us 45 mins to do the whole red route including stopping to take over 100 fotos which I think is pretty impressive.

Proud pointy face!!!

You actually do have to climb a few more rocks and some steps AFTER this point (what's that all about?)

Once we were back to the beginning bit we stopped to look at the wabbits

Final thoughts, pro's, con's and important informations

There are 2 main walks - the blue and red walks - and a 3rd purple route that forks off the red walk. so covers ~~all~~ most ability levels
It costs 7.25 to get in for an adult (Dogs are free!) which includes car parking too
Check out the website http://www.beckyfalls-dartmoor.com/ for opening times, prices, etc
Dogs aren't allowed in the cafe or gift shop or inside the pet area (apparently we might eat the wabbits or something)
Bring with you plenty of water (for hounds and hoomans) coz you might get soopa hot and thirsty during the walkies.
Hoomans should make sure them wearing good shoes (as in walking boots not their fancy best shoes) if you intend to take them on the red path
Carry a 1st aid kit "just incase"
None of the walks are wheelchair/pushchair fwendly so dont bring thems. You can hire baby carriers if yoo need dems.
There are alot of things to climb and some places are very tricky so make sure you practice some climbing and jumping before you go (unless yoo like a wabbit dog and yoor hoomans can lift yoo)
Bring a camera!!!

Adventures to go on in 2013

Milgi Coats Walking out coat.

2013-01-28T22:45:00.000Z

So I been saying fur a while "I need a new coat" and finally the hoomans agreed (after an unfortunate tumble drying incident wiff my current coat) so since our friends Milgi Coats make some luffy coats and were offering 10% discount with our special discount code I decided to do some shopping. I browsed their website and decided there was 2 coats I liked. The pink star and the red star.

I did some thinking and choosed the red stars.
1) coz my fav colour is red
2) coz the pink one was quite "busy" and might make me look a bit confoosing to fwends at the beach what dont understand fashion
3) coz Milgi Coats gave me the red star bandanna for Christmas and it will look good with matching.

And today the red van man did bring me a parcel :)

I wasn't home but as soon as I got home and saw my parcel I had try on my new coat.

From the front

Side view

And from the front with matching bandanna to complete the look

Cats Verdict

The coat is lined with breathable (???) cotton flannel so the insides are soft and warm.
The coat shows off my natural curves bootimussly - makes me look luffly and sleek
If you are a more bulky hound (*mumbles behind paw* like I am) you might find the fit across the chest a bit tighter. It doesn't restrict my walking though (will test it for lying down and zoomies soon!)
I like the funky designs and that Milgi Coats only uses each design for a limited run so there will only be a limited amount of same coats made not every hound will have the same red star coat as me.
Most of the coats come with a co-ordinating bandanna to complete the look
They cost 22GBP each which is good value I do think. (even less if you use our 10% discount code!)
They come in sizes 20" - 30" so covers most size of greyhound that are made. and for you longer hounds Milgi coats offers a bespoke service so you wont be left out.
Velcro fastening around waist BUT you cant see it when I wearing it. It looks like...seamless!
They cover bottoms nicely and are longish at sides (something I find with a lot of coats my deep chest isn't covered so 1. I get cold and 2. when I lie down my coat pops up around my shoulders)

Note: To give you an idea of fit - my coats a 28" and I am approx: 26" shoulder to floor and about 27 - 30kg (with a broad chest)

Get your paws on your own coat from http://www.milgicoats.co.uk/ and dont forget enter discount code "DAWLISH10" at checkout to receive your discount and 1 pound from each sale will go to supporting our fundraising too :)

UPDATE!

Adventure testing the Milgi coats walking out coat

Wind tunnel test ...

The lying down test ...

Zoomies test ....

Just a foto of me looking pwitty modelling my coat

The snow finally came to visit us.

2013-01-26T10:46:00.002Z

I was getting quite worried coz all my anipals had been playing in the snow and was telling me what a greyt time they had been having running and jumping and zooming in the cold stuff but there had been no snow at my house at all - not even one flake!

I so wanted there to be snow at my house coz the last time we had snow (when we lived in Brizzle) I wasn't allowed off my lead coz I was still wanting to chase everything and not do listenings (I only learnt to go off mine lead when we moved to Devon last year and I still practicing getting it right) so I wanted there to be snow what I could do my zoomies in! *nods*

Finally on Toosday nite when I did get up to go out fur my nite time wees I looked out the door and .... it was snowing and everything had done turning white!

Yippppppeeeee!!!

So on Wednesday morning mahself, mah hoomans and mah fwend Holly (her a terrier) and Holly's hooman did go to the local golf club - coz they had more snow that side the hill than we had our side the hill - for zoomies and sniffings and snow licking.

Here's some highlights!

Haytor Dartmoor - Walkies with pointy nosed friends.

2013-01-13T19:32:00.000Z

Today we went up to Haytor - Haytor is a big hill with a huge pile of rocks at the top in Dartmoor. It is very popular with hoomans who like to walk and can be spotted from miles away. It's very tall coz its 457 metres high and situated right on the eastern side of Dartmoor. If you want to find it your own selfs then you can use the post code TQ13 9XT or just use a map and hope for the best!

It has 2 car parks, one at the bottom what has a visitor centre and toilets and a national trust shop and an ice cream van (he orlso sells hot drinks and hot dogs and soup!). and the one at the top orlso has an ice cream van but no toilets or shop or anything.

So any way, we went to Haytor to meet my good fwends the pointy noses AKA Poppy (Whippet), George (Fluffybum lurcher) and Pixie (Whippet) and their hooman lady Jo.

We did start to walk up the big hill and George was allowed off his lead so hooman girl sed I could go off my lead but I had to be good - what I can be if I try soopa hard!
Then coz there was no other animals - like sheeps and horses and cows - around the Whippets were allowed to go offlead as well :)

We did run and zoom and bounce all ova and it was soopa good fun.

And then before us did know it... we was at the top of the hill :)

Then we did have a little rest - well I did; the little pointy noses were still running all around.

..............................................................

Then it was time to start the walk back down the hill

It was a soopa walkies wiff my fwends and der was lots and lots of other doggies on walkies too :)

What I liked about Haytor

There is lots of things to sniff
Lots of space
Other dogs to meet
Luffly views
Ice cream van fur ice creams and hot dogs
There's usually wild horses what are luffly.

What I not like about Haytor (or more what hoomans didn't like)

No hot water in the toilet
No doggy bins

Wagg Wagg Wagg

2012-12-27T18:14:00.004Z

We were heading out for walkies last week when the man in red came walking down the road towards us! We decided hang around to see if he had anything for me so we wouldn't have to go all the way to the red building to pick up my parcels - AGAIN!!!

Of course he did in fact have a package for me - why would he bother even getting out of bed if not to bring me nice things right?!

I got hooman girl to open the package for me coz I'm far too important to open my own mail and inside was a box of Wagg'mmms from my pal Dalton at Wagg (You didn't see that coming did you?)

Wagg'mms are the new biscuit treat in Waggs range. They come in 3 nommy flavas. Liver (what these ones were), Chikens and Salmon.

Wagg said...

"For a tasty crunchy biscuit treat, with no added sugar, for your dog why not try Wagg'mmms with Liver. Our Wagg'mmms with Liver have been specially formulated with vitamins A and E to help support a healthy immune system in your pet dog. Wagg'mmms with Liver also contain yeast which will help your dog maintain a healthy digestion.

The delicious bone shaped biscuits are a handy size to take out and about whilst walking and can be fed as a tasty treat or training reward. The crunchy biscuit texture will also help to keep your dog's teeth and gums clean."

So of course I had to do a taste test. then fosta sista came and stole them *shakes head*

I did taking some notes on the noms though.

Size - they are quite big but not TOO big so good as a snack or a training treat (but maybe break dem in half or quarter for a training treat)

Shape - dem shaped like bones *nods*

Flava - dem liver flava (I thinks dese wud be my fav out of the 3 flavas dem make) and really nommy. I dont normally eat bizkwits coz ah haff no tuffs but ah crunch crunch crunch dese up.

Good stuff - dey haff vitamins and yeast and things what dey say is good fur us and dont have nasty stuff in dem like sugar and salt and apparently the hoomans care about dese things.

I give these noms 4 out of 5 coz der always room fur improvements right?

Thanks Dalton *Mwah!*
