I think dog owners sometimes get used to the smell and don’t notice it. Same as smokers and smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that I’m allowed in many cafes and pubs with him, but imo it is always best to have a separate seating area so those who do not like dogs can avoid. Definitely! I have asked to move tables more than once because I couldn’t enjoy my meal with a dog drooling close by. I was raised on a farm, and dogs never came into the house. They don’t on most farms! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted June 22 #59703 Share Posted June 22 Morning all, got back from Britannia yesterday. We had a good time but the weather wasn’t the best! We had dull/overcast/rainy weather most mornings but by sailaway it was usually sunny. As soon as we got on we were told Santander was replaced by Vigo! Weren’t really given a reason 🤷♀️ I was disappointed as I had an interesting sounding excursion booked there for an early Gaudi place. We decided to book an excursion at Vigo called ‘Gardens, Castles and wine tasting’ which was very enjoyable. Anyway here are a few pics 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted June 22 #59704 Share Posted June 22 Lovely photos, Sue. Thank you. Good morning, everyone - was expecting lovely sunshine, but not so at present. Oh well, time for improvement. I hope everybody has a good day - none of us get enough of them! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted June 22 #59705 Share Posted June 22 Oh we paid £25 each to attend a special sailaway outside the cookery club in an outside area overlooking the aft. The weather was stunning by then and we had a fun time. John was a bit grumpy about the cost at first (🙄🤣) but we were given a glass of fizz on arrival and at least four cocktails! Plus some canapés so we got our money’s worth! We were joined by another couple and had a good laugh with them. It was supposed to be an hour but we stayed for two!! So I didn’t take many photos. Here are a couple I did take 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL,even the 3 dogs we rescued in Italy eventually crept up and slept on our bed with us.Outside dogs do smell more "dogified" I agree. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's the only ship in the current fleet that we haven't been on so I'm very excited! Julie x Aurora is our favourite ship. If you love classic cruising on a 'proper' comfortable cruise ship, you're in for a treat. I'm jealous. I hope you have a wonderful cruise.

I wonder if he still cruises or still a member of CC? I remember Dennis from the P&O forum, always a positive & funny poster. I really enjoyed reading his book as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re working dogs so that’s the difference! People can choose to have dogs in their own home, no problem. However years ago, you wouldn’t find many dogs in cafes and restaurants. They seem to be everywhere now and not just little dogs but huge ones! I find if very off putting when trying to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted June 22 #59723 Share Posted June 22 Morning everyone, Welcome back @P&O SUE, I'm glad you had a good time and @brian1 have a lovely holiday and safe travels. After heavy rain all yesterday afternoon, evening and overnight, we now have blue skies and a breeze. It's supposed be dry for the rest of the day. Spent yesterday baking as was planning on having a family BBQ this afternoon then going to watch the carnival this evening. Nobody has replied to say they are coming, so not going to bother! Hope everyone enjoys their weekend, whatever your plans. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
