Meet Nugget

The latest addition to the Dogs Love Cornwall Living canine team!

Nugget is…

A cuddly, energetic, six-month-old Jack Russell cross Dachshund. He’s a happy little pup with a big heart who loves a belly tickle. He lives with three cats who, as he’s slowly learning, don’t always share the same eagerness to play. He’s full of mischief and can often be found chewing something he shouldn’t, or digging big holes in the garden to hide his bones… and the car keys.

Nugget’s favourite walk…

Anywhere there are exciting smells. As Nugget is still a pup, all his walks have been new and exciting.  His most recent favourites have been the sand dunes at Gwithian and the Terence Coventry Sculpture Park in Coverack. He loves to explore every nook and cranny, having a good sniff and a dig along the way.

Nugget will…

Chew anything! No pot plant, shoe, chair or blanket is safe around Nugget. He also likes to chase feet and tug on trouser legs, but when he’s all tuckered out, you can find him sunbathing in the garden with his favourite cuddly toy, Wally the Walrus, which until recently was bigger than him!

Nugget loves…

To snuggle up and lick your face, whether or not he’s allowed! He’s never timid and greets every dog and human with the same excitement. It would appear, however, that his perception of his own size is slightly out as he often wears himself out playing with larger dogs. When he’s not out for a walk or playing, his favourite game is fetch; he will even throw the ball for himself when there’s no one else around!
