Dandy Campers Pets

Feel free to post any pictures of your pet here or any funny stories relating to them.

I split this from another thread as it was straying a bit, I am talking about our dog Bailey rolling in the grass and not my hubby John.

Yep that was me, it couldn't have possibly been the very hairy wet dog on the back seat

He likes to roll around on his back on grass for some reason even if it is wet

Our dog does that, even on a cold day This him last December, it is the same dog honest, it's just a different location.

That's exactly what ours doe's on his back legs in the air crown jewels on display and sort of twists from side to side like he is scratching his back

Good idea about the pet thread.

That's exactly it, but don't mention his jewels, they were stolen.

Were you the accomplice

I guess so, we paid the robber, but we didn't get them back.

I dont have any pets now but over the years i have had a few the including three great Danes here are a couple of pictures of my last one George,two of his main interests where women and caravanning dont know who he learnt from

He was magnificant Mike.


Here is my old dog Beaux with Bailey. He was still camping aged 17 and loved the dandy apart from the step, he could only get himself in or out of the Dandy if sausages were on offer the rest of the time he needed a lift.
He didn't like Bailey when we first got him but they ended up best buddies. I think dogs choose thier owners and Bailey is definatly John's dog, Beaux was mine.

Hi Everyone.

Please meet Dexter. He is named after a serial Killer from the TV. (He's a nice serial killer who only kills bad people!!) Dexter is a welsh Border Collie who is addicted to puddles and any other kind of water. Here he is in a Horse trough, three feet up in a dry stone wall. The only way you can get him out is by showing him a tennis ball. He has one blue eye and one brown eye which make him look a bit menacing but he'd lick you to death before he'd bite!!

Thanks Mike, Your instructions were spot on.

my mum had a lhasa that had a passion for puddles and would run through them drinking the dirty water at the same time lol

terrible with the long hair too, finally mum started clipping him but he was still filthy

this is our boy (mine and nicks)
Jackson the ginger ninja aka little fella

We lost our respective dogs in July & Nov last year. Charlie a long haired GSD and Polly a Staffie Cross, but we now have a couple of rescues.

This is Toby our Doby cross, he is a real gentle giant.
He did his 7 days on death row.
He has been with us about 15 months.

This is Pixie our little Staffie, we went to look at one of her 6 pups she was handed in with, but brought her home instead. She is our little Rebel without a clue.

They both enjoy the Woodburner and getting in the Dandy.

They are both lovely and look really content. I had a staffie when I was a child and she was fab, extremely tolerant too.

Keep saying we won't get another dog and Bailey has now got used to life without Beaux but I don't think we will ever be without one for long and having had a rescue dog I think they really appreciate a good home .......... so you never know

They are both getting settled now. We have had our share of gremlins with them. With rescues you will never know their history. Toby doesn't like being shut in anywhere and has to look out of the lounge window. Pixie had separation anxiety and didn't like being left. We had our first night out together at the weekend and came home to no destruction.

Polly was and Pixie is a very loving dog. Staffies don't deserve the reputation they have, its the owners not the dogs!

Our rescue dog 'Cindy' was very protective of us and the property, perhaps a little too protective My son has just rescued a dog as she had been stuck in the RSPCA for so long, she had been starved and there was a question mark over her breed but after she was removed from the owners and tested it did come back that she was not a pit bull. She does however suffer from phantom pregnancies and although she is the most timid and laid back dog you could ever meet she did recently damage the sofa during the latest 'pregnancy' It is insured so will be repaired and she is now on tablets and will be neutered as soon as possible. Luckily the sofa is insured and they both have experience of problem dogs and have completed courses. He usually takes her out in the van with him but just this once he didn't

Believe it or not Pixie is the guard dog out of our pair. Like we said earlier Toby likes looking out of the lounge window, in finding this out it first cost us the lounge window blinds. We thought right shut him in the kitchen, that cost us the freezer door and kitchen door arcitrove! Cure don't shut him in and leave lounge blinds up. Pixie thought it was fun to chew various things and have the lounge carpet up, although it does need replacing and that is the trade we are in we did get fed up with repairing it and refitting it when we got home. We have gradually built up the time we are both gone now and can live with her killing an old pair of trainers.

it's so awful what people do to animals when there is a simple answer - don't have a pet!! i'd love a dog - especially a rescue (there are lots of greyhound rescues round here cos of the racing) but i am at work all day and that's just not fair on them so i haven't got one

but i do love it when people bring dogs (mostly lol) so i can get a fix while i'm there

Does that mean we all have a built in dog sitter at the meets Eilis

oh yes

Great!!!! Dog creche. Do you know what you've let yourself in for Eilis.

yes of course, lots of cuddles

This is Minstrel and Smartie when they were little, we had four baby rabbits they were a surprise arrival and we were away in the dandy when we got a phone call from our hysterical daughter saying there were mice in the rabbits cage. They weren't mice and there were 4 of them

This is Chuk , Baileys friend. We are now on chuk the 3rd, he has to come camping with us and we can only get replacements at Christmas as it is a stuffed turkey. We only discovered how important Chuk was when we threw the first one away and the dog sulked for two weeks until we found Chuk the 2nd.
