There are both diesel and steam trains running on the North Norfolk Railway and the timetable shows which service is which. It is nice to ride on a scenic route, with the sea in view for a part of it. When we arrived in Holt, the final stop, we decided to visit the town, which was a 26-minute walk far from the historic railway station. There is a seasonal dog ban applying from 1st May to 30th September to part of the beach (there are signs and a map on the Promenade showing where the ban starts and ends), so we walked further on to reach the dog-friendly part of the beach. The Cat Mate C500 Automatic Cat Feeder with Digital Timer is very similar to the C50, but has a digital instead of a mechanical timer.The Cat Mate C300 Automatic Pet Feederis a smaller, 3-meal, version of the C500 feeder,and is slightly cheaper.

This book is a definite tearjerker. I've never had a dog, so I can't fully relate to the experience of a pet's sudden death, but it was still plenty sad for me, and would probably be more so for a child in this situation. It's not clear from the story whether Harry's encounters with Hopper are dreams or something more fantastical or supernatural, but the emotional impact of their nighttime adventures is the same. Children who have lost a dog and didn't get a chance to say goodbye might find this book cathartic. It also provides a gentle explanation of death - life simply fades out of Hopper, until he's gone. This explanation will probably be just enough for young kids who might not be ready to deal with any further discussion of death. Redwings Horse Sanctuary in Alysham (NR11 6UE), as well as Redwings Caldecott near Great Yarmout (NR31 9EY) are dog-friendly. There you can meet horses, ponies and donkeys! Free entry. #8. Dog-friendly stand-up paddle boarding The main reason is the same as for agility, flyball , canicross, bikejor and any other dog sport - it’s FUN! These feeders are both designed to be used with dry foods, with a maximum size of 16mm. The C3000 automatic cat feeder is designed to dispense the smaller size of dry food that cats eat, while the D3000 timed dog feeder is designed for larger dog-size kibble. It is recommended that the Dog Mate D3000 is NOT used with small, free-flowing food (smaller than pea size).

Maintenance and Caution

To be successful at Hoopers, you must have a strong relationship with your dog. Instead of running around the course alongside your pup, as you would in agility, commands are given at more of a distance. In common with the other pet feeders in this range, the 90 Day Feeder allows you to record a voice message of up to 6 seconds which plays when the food is dispensed to let your pet know when their food is served. Think about the pace and excitement of agility - but with a gentler course that doesn’t have any jumps - and that’s hoopers. The courses are flowing and consist of a series of hoops, barrels on tunnels. There aren’t the tight turns and high-impact activities that you might see on an agility course. Although Hopper was a founding member of Team Cronch, she was later drawn to roasties—especially after the amputation made it difficult to hold a cronchy carrot while also chomping it. GR Dad solved the problem by lovingly serving her with either roasties or baby carrots (sometimes chopping full-sized carrots into "baby carrots" just for her).

Sheringham Park and the Happy Valley Circular Walk in Cromer are great spots for a dog walk. Bacton Woods The feeders with a large storage bin that dispenses food into a single bowl range in size up to 10 litres, which is enough to provide regular meals for a number of weeks. Food TypeThe 2 Meal Pet Feeder from PetSafe allows you to schedule 2 meals for your pet up to 48 hours in advance. Each of the two food trays has a capacity of around 350ml. The boat made a few passages in front of the point, quite close to the shore. It was great to see the seals in their natural environment and some of them placidly looked at us. However, some food for thought about a particular aspect of the experience: there were many seal trip providers boats crowding the waters in front of the sandbanks where the seals were resting (at least other 3 companies doing the same tour) and doing rounds up and down the point, very close to the beach. Personally, I wondered if this wasn’t a bit too crowded for the seals. Also, thinking about the many boat engines burning gasoline and polluting the water, this may have not been a the most environment-friendly thing. Perhaps seal trip providers could consider switching to electric boats and keeping a bit farther from the shore. As seals are not exactly tiny, it is likely that passengers wouldn’t need glasses or a binoculars to see them anyway!

The battery-powered timer is easy to use, and allows you to set the feeder to open at any point in the next 48 hours. You can specify the portion size too, with 10 options from ¼ cup to 2.5 cups. The feeder will also automatically detect if the food tray is full, and won’t dispense additional portions if this is the case.Following the aftermath of the gates opening in Hawkins, Hopper runs into Marissa the librarian, and Joyce is most-decidedly, not at all jealous. If you are staying in Cromer, you can catch train to Hoveton & Wroxham, which is a 5-minute walk to Bure Valley Railway Wroxham stop. If you are travelling by car, sat nav for the stations are NR11 6BW Alysham and NR12 8UU Wroxham. North Norfolk Railway This 4 Meal Automatic Pet Feeder from Andrew James is almost identical to the Trixie TX4 Plus, but is branded differently and comes in different colours. It is slightly cheaper too, so unless you really want the colours that the Trixie comes in, then you can save yourself some money and buy this version. Being Sunday, many shops were closed and although there was an “owls trail”, with plaques on the pavement indicating historic landmarks, to be honest I didn’t find the village particularly pretty or special. For this reason, if you don’t have much time, I wouldn’t include this one on the to see list and visit other places instead (plenty of recommendations below). Sheringham promenade and dog-friendly beach After leaving our bags at the Beach Hut, we soon ran out to catch the bus to Morsely, for a boat trip to see… the SEALS at Blakeney Point! After farm animals and llamas, it looks like the year is continuing with interesting animal encounters!
