Introductions

Nearly 3 years ago, late one snowy February evening, a wonderful bundle of happiness entered my life.  No, not my child, but my happy excitable 8 week old working cocker spaniel puppy, Frankie.  


My partner and I realised very quickly that she was not going to be a calm and cuddly puppy, she was full of energy from day one.  We were told beforehand that we should expect a puppy of that age to play for short periods of time and then sleep for the rest.  This couldn't have been further from the case with our Frankie.  She was mad!  She didn't stop, she ran and played and jumped and ran some more.  We realised quickly that she needed to be entertained, she needed new experiences.  So we set about exploring all parts of London for walking routes that kept her busy and interested.  But it did more than that, it kept me interested!  I realised there is so much more to London than I ever knew, areas that I wouldn't have even discovered if it had not been for Frankie.  It's not always easy in London to find the best dog-friendly places but there is so much that we have explored together over the last 3 years that I thought I would share a few of my favourites.
