hi everyone just a little story to share :)
i took manja to the folk festival for the second year in a row last weekend. For those of you who might remember I took him last year shortly after i adopted him.
Well what a difference it was this year!!! its probably both him AND me who have chilled out since then. I remember not being able to relax the whole time last year as i was constantly worrying and fretting about whether he was having a good time and if he was scared or cold or overwhelmed. As a new mum i was probably nore strung out than he was!
Well this year we were both festival pros :cool: ! Me and a couple of friends who also own dogs (a poodle mix, a staffy and a pitbull) set up a little campsite with a fire near the river and the dogs had a blast!!! manja was sooooooo well behaved and was off leash the entire time. Most of the tents had a little doggy bowl outside and the dogs also had their meal times where theyd all sit together by the fire and get served :p One of the nights i went to bed early whilst the others sat outside by the fire and the next morning they said that whenever there was a bit of noise or action Manja would come shooting out of my tent (where he was snuggling with me) like a bullet, eager to make sure he didnt miss out on any of the fun! I really didnt have to worry about him much. He's almost a big boy now and knows how to wander around and come back to me. This place where the festival is held is doggy heaven :D dogs are allowed everywhere in the little village from the old pub to the cafe to the barn where the bands play. It was so nice to be in an environment where you can truly do EVERYTHING with your dog.
