Bit of an update for you all - today was the first Bit of an update for you all - today was the first time I've seen Stan in nearly two weeks. He has very sadly had to move out because we haven't been getting on at home.

You may recall that we first had issues a couple of years ago, saw behaviourists and vets and made changes to manage things. But recently, things have started flaring up again and Mum and Dad have made the very difficult decision to separate us πŸ˜“

Stan has been part of our family for six years and fortunately, he will be able to remain in the family. Words cannot express how grateful we are for that. 

I know how much you love seeing photos of us both, and our adventures, but I just wanted to be honest about what's going on. The hoomans are hopeful Stan and I can still see each other for walks and be friends, just not live together.

Please don't judge - we are trying to do the best thing for everyone. The most important thing is that Stan and I are both safe, loved and cared for.

Thank you for reading ❀️
Here I am doing my best Blue Steel while posing in Here I am doing my best Blue Steel while posing in the Muddy Paws Wash Room @rowleyfarmholidays πŸ˜„πŸšΏ Fortunately, I didn't actually need a bath while I was there but it's just one of the things that makes the Worcestershire site a really special place for dogs and their owners 🐢

All of the accommodation has been designed with pets in mind and there are no extra fees for dogs or rules about breeds. There's also a secure field onsite so you can do all the zoomies you like without your hoomans worrying that you won't come back πŸ‘πŸΌ

There are three luxurious cottages and a shepherd's hut onsite and all of them have their own private gardens, hot tubs and welcome packs for both pets and their owners πŸ˜‹

Read all about our recent stay in The Old Dairy over on my blog. You'll find the link in the comments below πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

Well, Witley Court is quite the place, isn't it! 🀩 Well, Witley Court is quite the place, isn't it! 🀩 This amazing house in Worcestershire dates back to the 1600s but was sadly destroyed by a fire in the 1930s. It's not hard to imagine how grand it would have been in its heyday though - it's amazing how many ornate features are still standing.

Dogs on leads are welcome to explore the remains of the  house and its beautiful grounds, where there are woodland and lakeside walks to enjoy 🐢🐾 My favourite 'room' was the old Conservatory. And don't miss seeing the famous Perseus and Andromeda Fountain 'firing' on the hour every hour β›²

Adult tickets to Witley Court cost Β£12 but you can save up to 15% if you book online via the @englishheritage website in advance. Car parking is an extra Β£4 πŸ’°
