The owners always welcome dogs to the shows – and also hold the annual Suffolk Dog Day Festival here. Last Sunday was the Autumn Suffolk Heritage Plant Fair – and I was […]
Dogs at the Beach – Felixstowe
My friend and I took Rusty to felixstowe in the week for some fun on the beach. It was great to fill our lungs with fresh sea air and meet some cute dogs too … Like Ted, the Golden Doodle -: Rusty had great fun chasing his ball, even though Felixstowe has a shingle […]
Rusty in the Meadow
I found this old image today of Rusty laying in the grass on one of his favourite walks near Leavenheath. It cheered me up after being stuck inside all day due to non-stop rain …

Rusty’s Camping Holiday in Dorset
Do you want to take your dog on an enjoyable, hassle-free holiday in the UK ? Dog Holidays are my favourite type of holiday; especially camping holidays – because I get to exercise lots, spend all my time in The Great Outdoors and live a simple, stress-free life for a week or two … with […]
Dog-Friendly Watering Holes in Suffolk
The Nethergate Brewery Tap at Rodbridge near Sudbury is a great place to stop off when you’re out with the dogs. The lure of a refreshing pint, cool glass of Prosecco, or flavoured gin, is certainly an encouragement to walk a little bit faster ! The taproom and shop are dog-friendly and there are always […]
Rusty at the Stables
Rusty came with me at the weekend whilst I visited a friend at her stables. I was so excited to meet the horses in her care and didn’t want to leave Rusty at home alone – so this was a brand new experience for him. He certainly appeared a little unsure of things as […]
Bella
I would like to introduce you to Bella – a gorgeous Whippet/Labrador cross – who I was lucky enough to meet last weekend at her owner’s stables. I’ve never seen this particular combination of breeds before and I was immediately smitten. Bella is graceful and playful, with the prettiest face and a rich rusty coat […]
Archie & Clover visit Sudbury Water Meadows
It was about time that I introduced Archie, Clover and of course Lisa to Sudbury Water Meadows ….. Archie had a glorious time rolling in and eating cowpats, therefore ensuring that none of us ( apart from Rusty ) wanted to get anywhere near him ! Luckily, plenty of water was on hand […]
Tamla – The Fox-Red Labrador Puppy
I met this cute pup at the Suffolk Show last week …. The owner had slow progress around the showground, as everybody wanted to stop and make a fuss of this gorgeous Fox-Red Labrador puppy ….Tamla
Suffolk Gundog Club at the Suffolk Show 2016
I made my annual visit to The Suffolk Show last week, in conditions that could only be described as wintry. In fact, the weather forecasters confirmed that Thursday 2nd June was colder than Christmas Day … Meeting some of the members of the Suffolk Gundog Club certainly cheered me up and I managed to get […]
Spaniels at The Splash
Rusty and I were lucky enough to meet lots of dogs on Sunday on the Sudbury Water Meadows. It was a lovely afternoon and the dogs were intent on having fun – especially at the stretch of river near the Mill Hotel – which we call The Splash … There we met 2 water- loving […]
