This is, unapologetically, one of our favourite walks - especially this time of year.
The cries of the seals (at the end of the clip) are mysterious, almost haunting around the cove.

It is such a delight when they return each year to haul out and slightly saddening when they disappear again at the end of the breeding season and the beach is empty again.

What is a random thing about having a dog in your family that no one tells you about?🤔

Photos from our New Year guests.
Chip’s guardians assure us they all had a lovely holiday, despite what Chip’s face may say!

Wow, thank you The Lancashire Dog Company, we’re so grateful for your thoughtful words—they mean a lot to us.

A few of you have asked about our holidays today so I thought I'd do a little post about it 🐶 We stopped at which is in St Austell, Cornwall 🌊 The accommodation is absolutely brilliant, there is no limit on dogs allowed (we took our party of five 🐶), no breed limitations and they have dog fields there so they can have a run.

The local walks are amazing and there is so much to do in the local area, it's just a beautiful place 🐶🌊☀️⛵ Despite Chip's face, he thoroughly enjoyed his hols 🤣 You can see Merlin in the background so this gives you an idea of how big the field is we could use 😁

This isn't an advert, we just love the place - it was our second time staying there and we'll definitely be back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Something different to the advent calendar.

When Bronson came to live with us, we knew his birthday was in December, but not the actual day.

So … Brian decided this needed to change.

Bronson’s official birthday is Christmas Day.

We spend the day walking, eating and snuggling up on the sofa watching TV in front of the fire.

And that sounds like just the perfect day for a birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRONSON!!

Merry Christmas from everyone at Bed and Basket.

We’re posting this today as we have something different planned for Christmas Day.

Plus we’d love to see your dogs in festive photos in the comments below.

Go …. This will be fun!

23/12/2024

Day 23:
Buddy?
Rosie?
What did you see?

I wonder what they are thinking?

22/12/2024

Day 22:
This gorgeous Welsh springer was part of a party that booked both Peswora and Tressa, with sisters holidaying together next door to each other.

Why not book adjacent barns with your friends or family?

21/12/2024

Day 21:
I’m not going to lie, the first time I saw gorgeous Aurora (brown Doberman) running around the paddock was bittersweet. She even has a curly pig tail.

Isn’t she stunning? 😍

Yes, we welcome all breeds at Bed and Basket.
Guarding breeds (we love them!)
Little dogs … like Tinkerbell here, aka Stinks,
Big dogs …. Like Achilles here,
We’re not really fussy, we just like dogs!

And … how beautiful is Tinkerbell’s silvery face?
