Archie The Clumberdoodle

Pupdate 21st & 22nd September 2017 – Archie’s little break away in a National Trust Cottage

Now Archie has joined the family, holidays in the future would be a little different from past holidays as we want to include him, so decided on a  short trial run to see if he enjoyed  being away. As we are now National Trust members we looked through their brochure where listed are lots of dog friendly places to stay and we found what looked to be an ideal little cottage near Fowey in Cornwall.

We left home at about 11.30 am on the 22nd September 2017. As we could not access the property until 3.30 we decided to go to Lantic Bay which is owned by the National Trust and is only a short distance from the cottage. It is a beautiful dog friendly beach and Steve had read reviews that this was a fantastic place to visit although the 20 minute descent to get to the beach was very steep it was well worth a visit.

As stated in my previous post, pupdates will be a lot less, as there will be fewer “Firsts” so I will only pupdate when anything interesting happens.

Pupdate 19th July 2017

Well things were going quite well until last night. Archie had been sleeping quite happily in his crate down in the kitchen for weeks but it all changed tonight. He begrudgingly went in to the crate, we closed the door started to walk up the stairs and he became very vocal. We thought he would calm down after a while, but no he went on and barking and crying for ages. He was really distressed, a bit like his first night with us.

It is hard to believe (as it seems a whole lot longer) but little Archie has now just started his 5th week with us.

Pupdate 9th July 2017

Although he is very good on the lead, I thought it was kinder for him to now have a little harness instead of his lead being attached to his collar, so it was a trip down to Jollyes, where they have a small branch in our local Wyevale Garden Centre here at Ivybridge.

Another week has gone by, and now it has been 7 days since Archie’s final injections, so he can finally go out and explore the World.  This  is going to be quite an exciting week for him as he will be meeting some donkeys at the Ivybridge Donkey Sanctuary where I am a volunteer.  Friday will also be a very interesting day as Archie will be re-united with one of his litter brothers.
