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 'holidog', 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.
If your dog is with us for more than 4 days we will take lots of
photos, and put them onto a CD.
Your dog will write a daily diary of everything that they did
while staying with us, so that you can see what a wonderful time they've had. |
