Dog name survey...
The resident dog behaviour expert at www.k9friendsunited.com Caroline Jenkins is doing some research into dogs names and the effect they have on a dogs behaviour. There has been plenty of research into peoples names and the affect they have on peoples lives, for example the luckiest names are Julie and David, but little research has been done into dogs names.
For a long time Caroline has suspected that there may be a link between certain types of behaviour and types of names and she would like you to help her prove or disprove this. If you would like to take part in the survey please visit www.gooddoggie.co.uk/research.htm, and it should only take a minute.

A Guide to Dog Foods...
Many of us feed our pets what we think they like as opposed to what is right for them. The Pet Food Manufacturers Association are keen to dispel some of these common myths and set the record straight for pet owners everywhere.
Over the past few years, dog owners have become far more aware of the quality of the product they use to fuel their pets. Check out this eBook that tackles many issues to do with feeding your pets, quality of food, understanding ingredients, pet food labels and more.

Britons choose pets over partners!
British people love their animals so much that nearly two thirds would ditch a date to take care of a poorly cat or dog, according to research. While 63% would rather look after an ill pet, 42% would break up with any partner who forced them to chose between "me or the animal".
A survey by M&S Pet Insurance found just 21% of married or civil partnered adults would put their vows before their cat or dog, and 12% of co-habiting people would get rid of their pet for their partner's sake. Only 11% of unmarried people would give up their furry friend if a partner did not like them, while 52% of women said their other halves came second. However, just 26% of men would choose a relationship over a pet.
M&S head of insurance David Wells said: "These findings are not surprising as Britain is well-known as a pet-loving nation. Pet-owners often have a close bond with their animals as they are often a predictable presence in our ever changing lives; providing unconditional love, emotional support and companionship. Therefore, when a new partner comes along it is not surprising that they need to love the pet as much as the person."

Sustainable Tourism Charter for the best bits of Cornwall
The Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (making up over a quarter of the County and in which Helsbury Park is located) has formally been awarded the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism by the Europarc Federation. Europarc is the voice of Europe's protected areas with over 400 members in 36 countries, who themselves manage the 'green jewels' of Europe's land, sea, mountains, forests, rivers and cultural heritage. The aim of the Charter is to increase awareness of and support for Europe's protected areas and to improve the sustainable development and management of tourism within them.
Having sustainability at the heart of our business, as many do here in Cornwall, has contributed to this prestigious award. Thanks to all our guests for their support with this strategy.
