We joined the National Trust earlier this year and as part of the membership package, we receive three National Trust magazines throughout the year. The assortment of articles they contain are interesting to read.
In the magazine we received most recently, we saw that there's a promotion running this autumn, right until the end of February, whereby you collect stamps in a Pooch Passport in order to receive treats. Now Archie would freely admit that he's a greedy dog so when I told him about this he was eager to pick up his own Pooch Passport and begin collecting.
We visited Beningbrough Hall in North Yorkshire on Saturday so this gave us the chance to acquire the passport and collect the first stamp. We need six in total for a free packet of natural dog treats and if we manage to collect twelve, Archie will get a free snood, how smart would he look in that.
The stamps have to be collected from different National Trust properties, I'm sure we'll manage six before the end of February but I'm not sure we'll have visited twelve individual properties in that time. I mentioned this to Archie and he told me he didn't mind, just so long as we get the treats!
I've never heard of this, normally they do things for children, hope Archie gets his treats.
ReplyDeleteI hope Archie enjoys his treats. Five more stamps to go!
ReplyDeleteOh-What a fun thing for Archie AND you! Here's to TWELVE stamps and a snood! Happy mid October. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to give out treats for dogs.
ReplyDeleteFantastic. I can't wait to see a cosy Archie modelling his snood!
ReplyDeleteLucky Archie! Such a well traveled pup.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog
ReplyDeleteHaha what a great idea no wonder Archie is in agreement. Beningbrough Hall is lovely we visited there last year and we've just been to Thorp Perrow, it's not a National Trust property but well worth a visit. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I'm sure Archie will get to enjoy his treats, once you've enjoyed some lovely winter walks. Xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea! Hope Archie enjoys the visits as well as his treat at the end.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I sincerely hope Archie enjoys earning his stamps.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me smile, and I'm sure that Archie thinks that it's a great idea. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I sure hope Archie enjoys his visits and gets lots of treats!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea.
ReplyDeleteHappy visiting for you all and I'm sure Archie will enjoy his treats :)
All the best Jan
Ruby got her fourth stamp on Thursday
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea to encourage people to explore different NT places with their four legged friends. I hope Archie enjoys his treats and walks and you enjoy seeing more NT properties.
