Hello everybody!
My name is Dougal and I'm a Jack Russell Terrier dog
The Human that I own (who is helping me to type this as my paws aren't so good with the keyboard) tells me that he's been caravanning since he was about my age (eight months old) so by my calculations that makes him about 103.
Me, I've only just started this touring lark. I wondered what on earth the Human was doing when he hooked up this tin can on wheels to the back of the car, but having been away in it I'm most impressed. It's warm, cosy, comfortable, and I get to go to loads of new places.
Apparently, a lot of dogs take their owners caravanning. My friends Ted and Sparky encouraged the Human that they own to take up touring ten years ago. Apparently they couldn't bear to send him off to foreign places and put him into storage in crass hotels while they lorded it up at a deluxe Canine Spa Resort (which I think I heard someone call 'kennels' once).
My Human tells me that he's visited many, many sites on the Caravan Club network but now that I've come along he's really excited to rediscover some of them and see more of the local area while I take him on walks.
Therefore I've decided to start a Dog Blog on Club Together, so I can tell other canine caravanners and motor caravanners all about the facilities laid on for us at various Club Sites. And talk about a few other issues along the way. I hope you like the pictures of me at the laptop in the caravan wearing my favourite 'I Love the Caravan Club' t-shirt.
The Human that I own wants to chip in already. He's telling me to tell you that the reason he loves staying at Caravan Club Sites is because they don't charge extra for dogs despite many laying on dog walks and providing red bins. You mean some non Club Sites charge for dogs? How very dare they.
