Ruff Guide to… Ipswich

January 5, 2021

Ipswich, the county town of Suffolk, has a fascinating history that dates back almost 1,500 years. It was founded as a small trading settlement during the Anglo-Saxon times but the waterfront town has since flourished to become one of the key hubs in the south-east.

Barketing manager for my dog-friendly travel blog and all-round good boy. My lil bro Stan was adopted from Romania in Dec '20 ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

#FlashbackFriday to when I treated Mum to breakfas #FlashbackFriday to when I treated Mum to breakfast at @kynd.folk in Worcester (or maybe it was the other way round ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿค”)

It's a really lovely brunch spot in a historic building overlooking Gheluvelt Park. And as it was a nice day when we visited, we sat in the covered garden area.

The menu has lots of tasty treats for humans and also a dedicated section for dogs ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ˜‹ I got a sausage (of course) and Mum had the amazing Halloumi Fry Up, which was so big, she couldn't finish it all - so it worked out well for me ๐Ÿ˜œ

Thank you, Kyndfolk, for being so dog-friendly. I wish we lived closer! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

@parkhill_hotel_lowestoft welcomes dogs and their @parkhill_hotel_lowestoft welcomes dogs and their owners - and has acres of grounds to explore ๐Ÿถ๐ŸŒณ Read all about this lovely family-run hotel in my latest blog post. You'll find the link in the comments below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ 

PS - If you've noticed the website looks a bit different lately, it's because we've recently switched domain providers. Although everything has been copied across, quite a few pictures have got lost so we're having to relink them all. It's no easy task as there are more than 250 posts, but bear with us - we'll get there! ๐Ÿซ

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 ๐Ÿ˜“

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 โค๏ธ
