The Park Mawgan Porth with Clumberdoodle Archie 2021The Park Mawgan Porth with Clumberdoodle Archie 2021

Friday 7th May 2021
This was the start of our 2nd week’s holiday, the first being in Dorset (read about that here Steamer Point Lodge with Clumberdoodle Archie 2021).

We had breakfast and finished the packing and loaded the car and said farewell to Steamer Point Lodge. We had thoroughly enjoyed our week there (even though the weather could have been better) in this amazing location and will certainly miss the peace and quiet with just the bird song and the waves breaking on the shore.  Archie will definitely miss the miles and miles of beach walks.

Now down to Cornwall for the 2nd week of our holiday and back to Archie’s favourite place The Park at Mawgan Porth.  [Read more…] about The Park Mawgan Porth with Clumberdoodle Archie 2021

During Covid 19 and not knowing what was going to happen we went ahead and booked a 2 weeks dog friendly holiday back in September 2020, with fingers crossed that we would be able to go on our staycation.   One week in Dorset (Steamer Point Lodge) and the other to our dog Archie’s favourite place, The Park in Mawgan Porth, (see separate blog The Park Mawgan Porth with Clumberdoodle Archie 2021) [Read more…] about Steamer Point Lodge with Clumberdoodle Archie 2021

Clumberdoodle Archie's 4th BirthdayClumberdoodle Archie’s 4th Birthday

Quite unbelievable but on 2nd April 2021 Archie turned 4, where has the time gone?  Again like last year Archie celebrated it during the Covid pandemic.  Some restrictions were lifted on the 29th March 2021 so we have been able to drive short distances in the car to take him for his daily walk and yesterday we went  to a local beach.

Why I Bought A Pawhut Dog Grooming Table

Why I Bought A Pawhut Dog Grooming Table

Archie my Clumberdoodle has a thick coat which needs a lot of maintenance.  Not only daily brushing to avoid his coat matting (which if you have a poodle cross in particular you will know what I mean). Also his coat is a mud magnet so after nearly every walk he has to be washed off with the Mud Daddy and then dried.   I have to kneel down on the floor  which is not ideal when you are of a certain age or have back problems, which I do.  Getting down is okay, it is the getting up that is a problem. I thought that getting a grooming table would ease the back ache as Archie would be at an easy workable height.  He is nearly 4 years old and I have struggled over these years so decided that a grooming table might be the answer.

What Is A Clumberdoodle?

By 2 Comments

What is a Clumberdoodle?  Well a Clumberdoodle is a cross between a pure bred Clumber Spaniel and a Poodle.

We have a Clumberdoodle (Archie) (picture left) and when he was a puppy everyone naturally assumed that he was a Cockapoo.  However, as he got larger it was clear that he was a lot bigger than a Cockapoo and on nearly every walk we  get asked the question “What is he?”
