Back from Dogs holiday

[Penny Less]

Had a lovely break in Sussex. Dog thought she had died and gone to heaven. She normally sticks to me like glue and continually looks back at me if she has gone a few yards in front. However she got so excited with the new area I lost her in Bodiam Castle car park ! She was running round frantically despite me calling her from about 30ft away and she actually looked at me directly twice. The term blind panic seems to be just that, someone caught her just as she was going into the toilets (it was the ladies as well)! The place I stayed at was a Edwardian (I think) showmans van with a couple of extensions. It was totally dog friendly. As soon as I got back home the gloom descended on me though !

Glad you and your dog had a good time.

Bodiam Castle is lovely! Sounds like you and the dog had a well deserved break.

 

[Penny Less]

Bodiam Castle is a rip off ! £10 entrance and you have to pay parking too, and its only a ruin !

 

[Moobli]

Glad you both had a nice break, but sorry to hear you are down about being back home. Is it a specific gloom (your health?) or is it post holiday blues? I hope you feel cheerier soon.

Moobli, its the area where I live, bit of a dump. Too much concrete after acres and acres of green !

I always hate going home from a holiday, just as well we don’t have many holidays! People often say I look a bit younger than I am. I say it’s thanks to my husband (he doesn’t like hols) no holidays abroad in the sun has helped keep the wrinkles at bay ?. I live in Sussex near the Goodwood race track. There were cars going round it this morning making a bit of a noise but I quite like it and not every day. There are two spitfires at the airport and we often get free displays over our small estate ?

That comparison definitely sounds gloomy. That makes me even more glad that you, and your dog, had a really good time on the holiday.

sorry to hear that

 

[Penny Less]

Im bored with the usual dogs walks already ! Wondering if its worth me nipping off for another few days somewhere in late November or if I would be confined to barracks cos November is usually blimmin cold and dark and wet . At least when I was in new surroundings it took my mind off the health situation. Dog would be in favour Im sure !

 

[Moobli]

Do it PL!

Another vote for do it if you can ? I’d be doing it if I could get time off work, it is a lovely idea ?

 

[maisie06]

Do it, I love exploring new places with the dogs! Got to Wales a few weeks back and had a wonderful time walking for miles!

 

[Penny Less]

Ive booked another 3 days somewhere else! November can be grim and there are the dark evenings but it will be as grim and dark at home wont it. I think my dog is being spoilt now as after seeing how much she enjoyed being somewhere different its the main reason Im going away !

 

[Moobli]

Good for you PL! Where you going this time?

 

[Penny Less]

Just to the Kent coast,not going too far from home in case Im not feeling too good! I could just go on day trips but being totally away from the house seems to work better.

Sounds like a great plan, our dogs loved going away with us one caravan. Lots of pubs allow dogs in nowadays which makes it even easier
