Now we have a four legged member of the family, we decided that we would holiday in this Country and look for a self catering property. that allows dogs. On searching the internet I came across a pet friendly company called “Pets Pyjamas” (fab name!!). where all their accommodation caters for pets.

Pupdate 20th September 2017 – Archie’s 1st Groom
Archie has just turned 6 months old and it is time for his 1st proper groom, so an appointment was made a few weeks ago at a local Ivybridge Dog Groomer A1 K9. I have to say that I was a bit apprehensive, as Archie has a beautiful long wavy puppy coat which is a bit different to the normal curly coats that this breed should have which needs quite short clipping. However this is necessary as when the adult coat comes through it could start to matte with the puppy coat causing knotting. However as I can manage his coat at the moment with daily brushing there are no knots yet!!! [Read more…] about Clumberdoodle Archie Diary Aged 6 Months Onwards
Clumberdoodle Archie On A Short Break To Cornwall
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.

Clumberdoodle Archie And His 6th Week Onwards
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.
