DOG owners who book their mutts into a Penrith boarding kennel can now read a daily blog from their pet.

Take home a doggie blog: Ingrid Grayling will send out a blog of what each of the dogs in her care has been doing that day. Posed picture is not of her kennels

Owners will be able to discover how far the dog has walked that day, the meals it has eaten, the games it enjoyed - and whether it has made any new friends.

The dog blogs are being offered at kennels run by Ingrid Grayling of Crosby Ravensworth.

She said the daily diary is a reassurance to owners who say facilities offered by some kennels often fall far short of their expectations. It will be emailed out every evening and can be picked up anywhere in the world.

“We’ll put down everything the dog would tell you, if it could speak - including the routes it went on, the weather, the names of any new pals, what was for dinner, and its favourite games,” she said.
