Would I be able to take my dog everywhere (as in evening too) as I will probably be alone with my 9 year old.
Hi PaulaMB
Dogs are seen as a very important part of the family (festival) and like all members of the family, if they behave, they are allowed to go to all the parties in the evening.
The only requests we make during whilst they are at the festival is that the dogs should be on leads at all times and exercised off the camp site.
Whilst at the festival they will be able to watch other fellow canines entertain humans with an obedience display in the main arena, as well as some 'security' dogs demonstrate how they are trained and used. Elsewhere in their own arena some fellow canines will display with agility demonstrations and this is something your own dog will be welcome to also have a go at.
I took this photo on Sunday - my dog is no threat to man, beast, butterfly, etc., and definitely the most well behaved member of the family! Maybe an OAP agility class, she wouldn't want to exert herself too much.
She is a dream, lady cake , has never put a foot wrong in 10 years. Never barks, never chewed anything, smiles at the whole world. Just a constant calm presence in our lives.
I am a cat person too - she is my first dog as a grown up. She was ruled by a little feral cat I took on after she had a litter of kittens under my shed. 'Small" as she was known, ruled with a rod of iron!
sorry i never got back to you paulamb about a possible meet. ds has been a challenge lately (autism), i coudn`t inflict him on you and your girl right now! (sounds awful).
everynow and then its like a glitch and gets hard. then a time of calm. he was a mare last weekend, almost packed up at one point!! consultant wanted us to stop his meds, so i did. omg he`s back on em!! 1 week med free i was pulling my hair out.x
I have actually got a pitch booked at Kelling Heath on 19/20/21 June (2 nights). I tried to cancel but wasn't due a refund as it was under their £75 cut off .
So I told them not to cancel - I would rather give it away!
Let me know if you would like it. It is for me and my daughter so am sure would be ok - will check with them if you are.
Obv I don't want any money as I am wasting the pitch (so that the buggers can't resell it!).
Just decided to stick with small non commercial sites as that is what we prefer - still camping that weekend, just in a no facilities, campfire place.
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
