He didn’t fit in the dog frame though 😂

A tan sighthound with a white muzzle is standing in the sunshine on grass, wearing a black harness. He’s behind a pink frame with blue paw prints on it, the National Trust logo and “Share your adventures. #poochpassport” written along the top. His back legs and tail are sticking out the far side of the frame. The shadows on the grass clearly indicate that someone is standing just out of shot holding his lead.

The final day of the @nationaltrust.bsky.social #PoochPassport - and we did it!

We visited Stowe for a good afternoon walk, what a lovely place. Leo got his 12th stamp, and his Ruffnek NT scarf!

So we've reached 11 stamps on Leo's #PoochPassport!

Where will we go for the 12th stamp, and can we do it in time?? The Pooch Passport ends at the end of February (tomorrow!!)

Also, once I've got the 12th, I think I need to poll for the best stamp!!

From Box Hill, we headed over to Polesden Lacey.

As we walked around, the heavens opened so there were limited photos!

We got a stamp (number 11!) on Leo's @nationaltrust.bsky.social #PoochPassport

After the Kent visits, I realised that there was a whole stack of @nationaltrust.bsky.social locations in Surrey close to my route home - could we manage to visit some more and get a few stamps for Leo's #PoochPassport before their closing times?

After our visit to Emmetts Garden, we popped down the road to Chartwell.

Leo wasn't sure what to make of Chartwell's black swans, who have the run of the place, and was very happy to keep away from them - wise boy.

This was stamp number 9 in his @nationaltrust.bsky.social #PoochPassport!

Our final Sussex visit for Leo's @nationaltrust.bsky.social #PoochPassport was to Bodiam Castle - his 7th stamp!

Unfortunately it wasn't very nice weather! As you can probably tell by his expression...

Between my chauffeuring duties in Sussex, we popped along to @nationaltrust.bsky.social Birling Gap - and we got Leo's sixth stamp on his #PoochPassport, and his pack of Forthglade treats!

A little wander on the beach, a cuppa in the cafe, a look in the bookshop, and watching the sparrows.

During our Sussex visit, we also popped into @nationaltrust.bsky.social's Bateman's for a walk to admire the snowdrops, a cream tea and another stamp on Leo's #PoochPassport!

Well done, Poppy. I got stuck on 8 stamps and stand no chance of completing my #poochpassport but hey ho, I've had fun trying.

Saved #clumberpark @nationaltrust.bsky.social for our penultimate #poochpassport. Intend to get our last one on Monday. Can't decide where to go. We found 9 of the snowmen but Poppy was too tired to get all around the lake to find the last ones but it was a decent walk for us olds (me n Poppy)

A nice long walk on a very cold day (had to have my T-shirt on under my coat as thermals), a 6th stamp in my 2nd #PoochPassport & saw 12 snowmen (yes it was that cold!) 🥶 enjoying the views at National Trust Clumber Park thanks for the scooter hire so mum & grandad could join in

Leo has started his National Trust and Forthglade #PoochPassport with a visit to NT Killerton in Devon.

He's a bit unsure of the passport, but was very keen on the doggy ice cream!
