Since Pete and Mandy Goodwin bought their new apartment at New Pooles Lodge<\/a> in Fishponds, there is an extra member of the family who has been helping them to stay active and make new friends despite the lockdown. Lottie the \u2018poochon\u2019 \u2013 half poodle, half bichon frise \u2013 takes them out for regular daily walks and insists on introducing them to many of the new people she meets.<\/p>

\u201cWhen we were looking to buy a new apartment we found that a lot of places don\u2019t allow pets,\u201d says Pete. \u201cLuckily Churchill\u2019s pet-friendly approach meant we could bring her with us, which is great as we would never have moved without Lottie.\u201d<\/p>

He adds: \u201cThere are lots of great walking routes on our doorstep here, and space in the communal garden for Lottie to romp around occasionally \u2013 in well-behaved fashion \u2013 and say hello to our new neighbours. The social life is one of the main things we moved here for, so although we can\u2019t all get together at the moment due to Covid it\u2019s nice to get to know some familiar faces. Lottie is a very nice icebreaker and she gets a lot of fuss and attention from our new friends here!\u201d<\/p>

Despite Covid restrictions the Goodwins had no problems with their move to New Pooles Lodge, and they\u2019re glad to have done it when they did. \u201cWe still feel relatively young, fit and healthy, so we decided to make the move early,\u201d says Pete. \u201cIt made sense to do it while we\u2019ve got plenty of time to enjoy ourselves here. We sold our old house to our daughter, so it made sense for her too and we\u2019re very pleased to have made a move that benefits the whole family. The other benefit is that everything here is brand new \u2013 the only piece of furniture we brought with us was our bed.\u201d<\/p>

Pete insists he was not a dog person until recently, but Lottie has turned him into a doting father again. \u201cWe absolutely adore her and she\u2019s become a member of the family. Wherever we go, she goes, and she has definitely helped to keep us active and in good spirits during lockdown. Hopefully it won\u2019t be too much longer before we can enjoy socialising again along with Lottie, and taking her to some of the excellent dog-friendly pubs we have nearby!\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
