<\/a>Dad drove through the gap and parked up in a yard. \u00a0We were very excited and eager to explore and couldn’t wait to get out of the car.<\/p>\n
Mum got out first and after putting the lead on Buster they both went through a doorway opposite. I followed with Dad a few minutes later.<\/p>\n
A very nice lady greeted us. She smelt nice and gave us both a stroke and, being the flirt that I am, I got a cuddle as well.<\/p>\n
Our own bed<\/strong><\/p>\n We were led down a tiled passageway past a few doors and into a room. \u00a0Wow, it had a tv, a radio, our own small bed and a chair. \u00a0<\/p>\n Opposite the doorway was a yard area where we could stretch our legs and speak to other companions nearby.<\/p>\n The room was very posh and although I had to share with Buster the adventure would be fun.<\/p>\n Three sleeps<\/strong><\/p>\n Mum and dad left us to get on with talking to our neighbours and finding our way around for three sleeps.<\/p>\n We were well looked after despite Buster being quite defensive and not letting anyone near. \u00a0He seemed a little scared of being away from his normal comforts but I managed to bound around and keep his spirits up.<\/p>\n We could run around in the big compound in turn with the other guests and I went for a walk every day. I even got a brush and a wash. Buster wasn’t up for a pampering, so I tried to ask for double… I’m not sure if the groomer understood though \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Around the country club<\/strong><\/p>\n The country club for animals even has it’s own pool. \u00a0Situated not far from our room is a 5m long 3m wide indoor pool kept nice and warm for us to play in. \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We didn’t manage to go for a swim this time but we have asked mum if we can come back and play. \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It has murials on the walls and a washing area – \u00a0just like the humans swimming pools I have seen in pictures.<\/p>\n This pool is used mainly for Hydrotherapy<\/a>. This is the use of warm water as a controlled form of weightless exercise<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n It is an ideal aid to the recovery and rehabilitation of injured animals or simply a great form of exercise for healthy dogs.<\/p>\n The pool is fitted with jets to provide variable swim resistance and massage.<\/p>\n I think Buster will enjoy getting his first swim and easing those aching bones. All the time I have known him he has not gone into water deeper than his middle. \u00a0His feet have always stayed on the bottom.<\/p>\n Going home<\/strong><\/p>\n On the morning of the fourth day mum and dad came back for us. \u00a0We were glad to see them and have a hug.\u00a0<\/p>\n I managed to stand in something rather pongy though on the way to the car and I stunk the car out all the way home.<\/p>\n This resulted in the obligatory bath for both of us and a frantic run around the house to get dry.<\/p>\n Since returning home and back to the daily routines I have needed my cuddles topping up. I did like my holiday and really do want to go for a swim. Will let you know how we get on.<\/p>\n<\/a>
