My new favourite pub for Dogs

kevin — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 16:54:00 +0000

Last night Mum and Dad wanted to go out, and they did not want to leave me alone at home. They decided to go to the Maid of Muswell, a pub that has a big outside area, and the weather was quite warm in the evening. When Dad went inside to order the drinks, the manager said that I could go inside – Mum was very pleased because she feels the cold! The policy at this pub is that well behaved dogs are welcome, so I did not bark at all: I just sat under the table and ate most of Mum’s chips with a few sausage treats. The Maid of Muswell is now on our list of regular favourite doggie pubs.

Kevin the Collie Birthday

kevin — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:06:00 +0000

Hey! Today is the second anniversary of the day I came home from the rescue centre with my new Mum and Dad. I have had loads of birthday wishes from doggie and human friends all day. It was really sunny this morning so we went to Alexandra Park and Mum was not phased when I got really, really muddy. I met some really nice dogs including Sally, a very attractive Lurcher – Collie cross with a diamond studded collar. Hmm, hope I see her again. I think I am having a party tonight, fingers crossed.

Snow Dog in Muswell Hill

kevin — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 17:58:00 +0000

Last night we had LOADS of snow, it is about six inches deep and everywhere is really quiet cos nobody is going out – including this sick dog, if I had my way. Mum tried to take me for a walk this morning, she went out in front of me to try and take a photos I came down the road. Big mistake – I just turned round and went home! Well I have got Kennel Cough, you know …

Kevin the Collie Abandoned Again

kevin — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 21:43:00 +0000

At the end of last week Dad worked from home because his car had broken down. We had to take it to the garage – and walk back to collect it the next day. Dad was a bit annoyed that the people at the garage did not remember him, but they asked “are you the guy with the cute dog”. Well I can’t help it, can I?

Samoyed Dogs in Muswell Hill

kevin — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 16:15:00 +0000

I realized I had not posted a picture of my handsome new friend, Sammy the Samoyed. We met in our favourite dog friendly pub a couple of weeks ago. You might remember that Mum and Dad were quite taken with Sammy, do you think I look a little bit jealous?

Muswell Hill Dogs

kevin — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 18:09:00 +0000

Last night we went to my favourite dog friendly pub. Dad threatened to leave me at home cos I was barking but in the end we all went out together. Of course, I know the way to the Royal Oak, and as soon as we walk in that direction I get more and more excited. Last night I was the only dog there so I gave a few woofs to introduce myself. I asked a man to give me his cheese roll but he wasn’t playing ball. Then the landlord came across with some corned beef as my treat: Mum thought that was a good idea – ‘meat is much better than crisps for a dog’. Oh Yeah? I’ll have both!

Dog Adventures in Muswell Hill Snow

kevin — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 19:48:00 +0000

It snowed last night, so we went to Alexandra Park with lots of others, desperate to enjoy the scattering of fluffy powdery snow while it lasts. In the park we met a lady who had lost her Jack Russell, Bertie. She was extra worried as his dog tag had fallen off. He is white, she told us: not so easy to spot today. We looked for him all the way but he could not be found. We know their address so we walked round there later and when we knocked at the door, we heard – a dog barking! Bertie the Jack Russell had found his way home and was waiting on the doorstep when his Mum got back.
Mum insisted on taking a photo of me in the snow, so here it is. I even sat in my famous ‘Dog as Sphinx’ pose – in exchange for a dog biscuit.

New Dog at Kevin’s Local

kevin — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 22:14:00 +0000

Finally Mum and Dad took me to the pub last night, after my traumatic day. They were in such a rush after they both dragged themselves away from the laptops that they forgot to feed me first. When we arrived, they got me some crisp (chips) and a nice bowl of ice cubes. The little Jack Russell was there as well, and everyone was watching a football match on the TV. There were a lot of goals and every time the crowd roared, the Jack Russell barked loudly along with them. He was also dancing on two legs to beg for treats – that is a step too far. Then a new friend came in – Sammy, a handsome Samoyed, with his Dad, George. He is a large a white dog with a long and thick double coat, friendly and gentle. Mum and Dad made a huge fuss of him, cooing and saying how beautiful he was. I was quite jealous and I started barking to remind them I still needed my dinner.

New Year Party in Muswell Hill

kevin — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 02:42:00 +0000

Well I was a bit miffed cos Mum and Dad went to the Royal Oak without me for a New Year party – they said it was just too crowded for all the dogs to go along – but they promised to take me there next week. When they went out they gave me a bone, but I finished that and I found a packet of bagels that my auntie left on the floor! So i munched through a couple of those. Mum and Dad did not really mind cos they realise you should not leave food in sniffing distance of a bored dog.

Can I give your dog a biscuit?

kevin — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 22:33:00 +0000

Music to canine ears, when Mum and I were in Muswell Hill Broadway yesterday. A lady came up and asked that magic question, ‘Can I give your dog a biscuit?’ Well, what do you think? So Mum said that would be very nice, and thanked her. The biscuits were Markies, a little imitation marrowbone snack, and of course I got two. They were big so we had to stand around while I ate them. This lady has no dog of her own so she likes to make a fuss of any friendly dogs she sees. Tha’s fine with me!. She also gave Mum a couple to take home for me, but then I was not allowed any cake (so I did my most appealing look and I still got some cake as well).
