My choice of a cockapoo was simply the fact I’d always wanted a golden cocker spaniel. However, allergies prevented me from owing a dog, so this seemed the perfect solution. I admit there have been times – many until Freya reached the age of six months – when I wondered what on earth I’d let myself in for, but the rewards of owning a dog are in such abundance that there are absolutely no regrets.
Although the blog has a leaning towards poodle crosses, many of the articles relate to dogs in general. There’s also a real need here to add the caveat that I am a complete novice; the opinions expressed are purely mine and the only qualification I have when it comes to caring for animals is that I own and love my two cockapoos.
Any links to third party advice are those that I personally found helpful during training and caring for Freya & Frankie, but stress that I have no alliance, involvement, or receive payment from any of them. This includes the Frankie Goes To reviews; these are purely based on our personal experiences as we travel around with our fluffy companions.
So as I say, we introduced puppy number two as company for Freya. Francesca Louise AKA Frankie-Lou, who joined our family full-time on 23 March 2020, at the very beginning of the first Covid Lockdown. In fact we only just made the pick up before a complete lockdown was enforced.
The articles on the website are all included in The Blog. From here you can search for any topic by entering what you’re looking for in the search box (at the top of each page), or listed under the appropriate menu sections across the top.
One of the most wonderful things about this site for me, is that we can look back and enjoy all the experiences of owning our two gorgeous cockapoos. Yes, dog owning is expensive, time consuming, a huge responsibility – and most importantly – for life, but my goodness it’s worth it all.
And life would not be complete without a regular dose of Freya and Frankie’s antics on Instagram; why not follow them @freya.and.frankie.
