Clumberdoodle Archie And His 3rd WeekPupdate 23rd June 2017 – Archie’s first trip to a Beach

Archie has now been with us for 3 weeks and even though he doesn’t really like water, living in Devon with beaches all around us we thought it was about time we took him to the beach.  As he has only had his 1st set of vaccinations we had to be very careful where we took him so had to pick somewhere quiet, and chose to go to Mount Batten in Plymouth, where it is more of a little foreshore than an actual beach    [Read more…] about Clumberdoodle Archie And His 3rd Week

Clumberdoodle Archie and His Second Week

By 4 Comments

Clumberdoodle Archie and His Second WeekArchie is now in his 2nd week with us, I have decided to rename him a “Slumberdoodle” as he does like to sleep, most of the day, but not so good at night.

Pupdate 17th June 2017

Archie had his first set of injections on 12th June 2017 and we decided that today would be his first trip out in the outside World away from our home.  We decided to take a picnic and take Archie to Burrator Reservoir, which is about a 30 minute drive from our home.  It was like packing up for a Worldwide expedition, what with blankets, crate, towels, collapsible food bowl, food, water, lead and our picnic.

We moved the crate on the back seat and this seemed to do the trick as he was quite settled for the journey there and back. [Read more…] about Clumberdoodle Archie and His Second Week

The Search Is On For My Cockapoo PuppyThe Search Is On For My Cockapoo Puppy In 2017

Now Steve and I have decided to fully retire and shut our online Silver business, it is now the right time after being without a dog of our own for many years (read all about my love of dogs here ) to once again own one and a Cockapoo is what I have chosen.

Why one of these?

A few reasons – I do not want a big dog, as now having reached a certain age I want one I can easily manage, and one of these is the perfect size.  It will be low shedding as it has poodle in it, and after doing plenty of research they are full of character, they love people and make good family pets and need a fair amount of exercise which will help with keeping the weight off.

The time has come to search for one, and after much thought I have decided that it is a Cockapoo that I would like.   However trying to find one is a lot harder than first envisaged. [Read more…] about The Search Is On For My Cockapoo Puppy In 2017
