Hi we have just returned from our camping trip and i must say i am glad to be back .Not that we did not have a fab time because we did .We went to the resort of skegness and because we were camping chunky had to come out with us all the time he loved being on the beach and i very nearly got him swimmming .But what got to me was the reaction of other people when we was walking around  town he was called everything from a saint bernard  (people asked where his whisky barrel was ) to a rottweiler he was even called a japanese akita lol.And if i had a pound for everytime sombody said to us *i bet he eats alot* me and my family would be very rich .
We when to a fun fair one day and my daughter was holding chunky within secounds she was surrounded by teenage kids
and one stupid lad was trying to sit on chunkys back he very nearly got a slap i can tell you !! .Chunky caused quite a stir in skegness. I even had people wanting to take photos , and i got really paronoid that somebody was going to steal him people always asked where he slept and where we was staying . sorry if i sound if i am ranting on abit i do feel really proud that i have such a wonderfull dog that causes heads to turn it was like going on holiday with david and victoria beckham people taking pictures and stuff
has anybody else has this kinds reaction to there dog .
again sorry for the rant julie x

But he will follow the children in the water have you guys got any tips for getting chunky swimming he does like the water but it has got to be really calm .we don't get much calm water on the east coast of britain ...
