So we took our dog camping - was a pretty good success considering she feels it her duty to defend us against any other dog that dares pass by by barking at them. We didn’t bring her a bed assuming she’d share herself between ours and the DDs air mattresses, however she had a better idea - she settled in our suitcase. I’d get up in the night for the loo and she’d jump up to come with me and I’d be all like ‘get back in your case’. After the first night we put her blanket over the top of the clothes to save them from too much dog but luckily she’s pretty self cleaning/non stinky and doesn’t shed too much. Am thinking of converting an old suitcase for her for a permanent bed at home now.

I’m impressed you found somewhere to camp with a dog. Would love to know where (via PM) if you feel comfortable sharing. IIRC, I think we’re in the same state.

LadySybilVimes of course! Edited to add - my dog was so miffed one night that we didn’t bring his bed into our room, that he squeezed himself into a clothes basket so that he was near us. It was so sweet that I wasn’t even mad that he laid on clean clothes

BusbyWilkes We went to Nannup - lovely caravan park there very old school and basic and tree filled. Lovely river and bush walk just next to it - the Mindanindi trail I think. Town is nice - just getting a bit more touristy than last time we went around 5 years ago - can get great coffees. And close to Margaret River, Augusta etc for day trips. We’ve also taken the dog to Nanga Bush camp - no showers and only long drop toilets though. And lovely to see you here - my daughter has had her first appts with one of the paeds you recommended and we are on the journey to diagnosis so thank you!
