Holidog
is for dogs needing a comfortable and friendly place to stay
while
their owners are away or cannot cope with their pet for a short
period of time.

After losing
Poppy our Dalmatian in 2005, Pippa our Labrador in October 2006,
and
Sammy our cat in September 2007, we decided not to have any more pets
of our own, but to look after our friends' dogs when they were ill or away.
We found
this very rewarding as we got to experience having pets around
the house
once more. Which we had greatly missed.
So we came up with 'holidog', mentioned it to our friends
and the word
soon got around! |

We
started 'holidog' in October 2007.
Finnigan a male Golden Retriever, or Finn as he likes to be
called was our first border, along with our neighbour's dog
Sheba, a female Golden Retriever!
Since then we have had many different dogs visiting us.
We live in a cottage on the large Colehayes Estate which is 3/4
mile
down a private road from the main Haytor Road.
We have a large safe back garden, enclosed by a wall around three
sides
and a fence dividing us from our neighbour's garden.
We take lots of photos while they are staying with us, make a
photo cd of them
and write a daily diary of everything that they did
so that you can see what a wonderful time they had. |

Here are some
of the photos taken of our happy 'holidog' dogs and their friends. |

somebody in my bath!' |
'Where
did I put my sunglasses?' |
'Don't
tell Dad I've got his hat on!' |

'Where
are we going today?' |
'Ohhh
that was nice!' |

I'm tired' |

| 'I found
a friend' |
We
had fun in the water. |
'Now
where am I ? |
 |
 |
 |
| 'We're
ready and waiting' |
Is
that my shadow?' |
