So me and the older one are taking him to the gorgeous beaches of Northumberland ; my older dogs favourite place , even he turns into a big pup on the beaches there

They sound fab, Ali.
I met a lovely deer x grey on Saturday. As soon as I made a fuss of her, she leant right up against me. I love it when they do that.
The big ones are a bit big for me, so I fancy a whippet x Bedlington.

The latest addition is just being a normal Lurcher puppy . He's awesome to have around . He's just brought me some rubbish out of the bin ; is so affectionate and eager to please .
Lol. When my my lakie girl was a pup, she used to bring in live frogs.

I always camp alone or sometimes take my little dog. Trouble is, the dog is a little Houdini and escapes from wherever he is tethered, now he is gets left with my friend who doesn"t like camping!!!!!

I've just had an impromptu solo weekend at a lovely little site in North Wales. Woke up at 7.30 on Saturday morning, decided I was going camping and was on the road by 8.15! That's one thing I love about solo camping, the ability to be able to go where I want and when I want and do what I want. I spent 14 years camping with my ex and we had some great times, but having been on my own for three years now the more I solo camp the less I want another man around!

Young single lady pitched next to me in a small vango tent with her recently obtained rescue dog last week...Confided in the lady the other side of me that she was a bit concerned about camping alone at such an isolated campsite...
We invited her to join the occupants of 7 out of the 10 units pitched there on the beach to watch the sunset...She did so...And in the process discovered that we were not a group of mad axe murderers...Just a bunch of friendly(temporary)neighbours...Enjoyed herself...and got to know those around her!!!

As it turned out my plans had to change because of work, and had to move my holiday plans up, so I've now been solo camping for the first time on the weekend. Thank you all soooooooo much for all the positive encouragement, because if it wasn't for that, I'm pretty sure I would have chickened out. I'm so glad I didn't!!! It was absolutely the best, and the most relaxing, camping trip I think I've ever been on. I really, really loved it, and am already starting to look into planning the next one! It's been a good while since I'd been camping anyway, and I had forgotten how much I really do enjoy it. I think I'm well and truly re-hooked again  Thanks again everyone!
