If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! The RSPB that is!

First published on my blog at http://puppy-training-secrets.blogspot.com.

[SORRY, this intel is rather UK specific!]

Enjoy your travels this summer [in the Northern hemisphere], with or without a pet... and if you DO have a dog with you PLEASE, please, PLEASE, don't leave it in your car to die a horrifying death.

Either telephone your proposed destination for the day's outing to enquire if they do accept dogs... then you can go elsewhere if your pet is not accepted on site, or, arrange for someone to pet sit for your dog whilst you visit the proposed attraction.

We often feel that if 'they' won't accept our well-behaved pet, 'they' aren't worth visiting!

I have heard plenty of complaints about the RSPB not allowing dogs on its reserves... but, I must admit though I do find it annoying myself, I can appreciate their stance when some people just won't keep their dogs on leads when specifically requested to do so, and some just won't clean up after their pets. This attitude makes it extremely difficult for responsible owners, and is so anti-social!

That said, I have found plenty of RSPB reserves which do allow dogs on leads to visit and have enjoyed visits to Dinas in Wales, which is not to be missed; and to various sites in Scotland with our dogs.

Have you enjoyed the Springwatch series on BBC TV these last four weeks? It is now, sadly, coming to an end with the last special scheduled for tonight I believe.

The RSPB - http://afuk.affiliate.affiliatefuture.co.uk/merchants/AddProgramme.aspx?id=917 - states that it has had a good increase in memberships following the programme. You have an option to option to choose Bill Oddie's "How to Watch Wildlife" book as a free joining gift until the end of June.

[If you already have a copy of it, why not put it aside as a gift for someone special.]
