To the good dogs and humans of Sarratt, The weather had threatened to curtail our fun on Sunday 5th June for our Sarratt village dog show and picnic for the Jubilee. However, as it turned out it was dry! Woo Hoo! I’m not sure what I was looking forward to more, the dog show (guaranteed […]

My real kennel club name is Charlie Hartley Cha Cha Cha, a rescue dog rehomed by my current owners at 11 months and brought to……. where I found dog paradise in the back garden by Harrocks Wood chasing rabbits. I escaped across the road to the Steak House opposite, then started eating the skirting board […]

Good Day All, My name is Huxley and I am a Cairn terrier. I pride myself in getting to know as many people in the village as is possible but if you are new to the “Hux” experience then this is me…. I was named after TH Huxley, the notable scientist in the 1800’s and best mate to the […]

Sabre… Best in Show on June 10th  – Speaks / Barks out! Following on from the amazing Village Day I am now looking to join a canine football team, or I could be a mascot for a human team; perhaps help with training?!  (Blue ball photo Whats App today) Other things to keep me stimulated […]

Hello I’m Katie, or if we want to be formal… Nuthouse Some Like it Hot. I can be found relaxing most days in the Parish Council Office keeping my human company whilst she addresses most important village business.  Other times I’m out walking some of the 27 miles of footpaths that we have in Sarratt.  […]

Sabre says “check this out!” https://theengineerharpenden.co.uk/index A dog water barrell and not just for St Bernard’s! We recently visited the Engineer’s watering hole after my owner invited me to a “Talk and Walk” Mentoring Session on the common with another human – exploring their outdoor creativity! While we were there we found a lost dog. […]

Hello, my name is Pepsi and I will be eleven years old on the 19th of April. Originally my ancestors came to Europe from The Summer Palace in Beijing ( Peking) in 1860. I flew over from Hong Kong to Amsterdam, changed planes and then flew onto Heathrow airport. I passed quickly through customs as […]

Hi ! We are the dotties who live up the lane.  Some people think we may be insane! We are happy in our madness, ‘cos we bring so much gladness. To her that waits on us hand and paw, she doesn’t so much love it when we muddy the floor! Her sofas are our beds and […]

Stanley Hi, I’m Stanley and I’m an Irish Terrier. Most people think I look like Tintin’s dog Snowy (wasn’t he white?) or the dog in Lady and the Tramp (grey, I think you’ll find!) but I prefer to model myself on Winnie the Pooh’s chum Tigger. You can often find me bouncing around Sarratt Bottom, […]

How quickly the human years go by just over 3 years (21 dog years!) ago I was adopted by my human mum. At the same time, being such a dog lover she also had 2 large canine friends at home. The Akita’s were fostered and rehomed through All Dogs Matter who are now celebrating their […]

Hi Everyone, I’m Freddie. I’m a Parson Russell (that’s a posh type of terrier) I first came to live in Sarratt as a young whippersnapper at 9 months old. I had got myself into a fair amount of trouble before then and already had 5 homes before Mum rescued me. Mum said it wasn’t my fault […]

Now in full training for the Sarratt Village Day  and Dog Show on Sunday 10th June 2018 Despite a very sore paw, I have borrowed my owner’s sock and have managed to find a cool spot in our local blue bell woods, a sea of violet haze with a distinct smell to enhance our long, […]

Blind dates for dogs! What’s with the blind dates before Valentines Day! So I met Ella on a 2 day trip to the Cotswolds and she takes up my car space, will not leave me alone;  then sleeps on my duvet! I just had to put my paw down and raise  my head above the […]

Lock down lunacy will have touched us all at some point or another in the past 12 weeks.  Huxley (super dog in photo!) generally spends his days sharing the love with who ever he meets on his walks in Sarratt. He loves to say hi to all his canine and human friends. During lock down […]

Hi, my name is Izzy and I moved to Sarratt Bottom a couple of months ago and I love it! I needed to move because I was brought over from Holland as a show dog and I hated the noise and bustle. As I was so upset by this I was allowed to choose a […]

Paws for thought from Sabre Summer 2020 It’s a canine’s paradise with nature right now. During hot days the local woods provide endless pathways of coolness and wildlife. I have noticed our human friends doing strange things on their own household pathways, especially on a Thursday evening around 8pm. In our village this has been […]
