Our friend Douglas

Hello all

We have been a bit busy lately - you see we have a visitor staying with us. And D says 3 Wires in a house is a lot of work! But we keep her busy and she doesn't become a couch potato! So it is like we are providing a service - no?

D and C help out the Fox Terrier Rescue whenever they can - and they were asked to pick up and foster our pal, Douglas. This is difficult for D and C as the last dog they fostered was Paddy and we all know how that went! You have already seen pictures of him on the Fun Walk - he came with us and kept up all the way!

I had a little problem with him at the beginning - I mean how many little brothers does one gal need? I was a little bossy - but not mean - just bossy - my house, my food, my couch, you get the picture...But I settled down and now we all get along - here is a photo of the three of us on the couch - we all love cuddling our people on the couch - but when they get up they put pillow bookmarks - otherwise we steal the whole couch and they have to sit in the other chair which isn't as comfortable...

Douglas is a little shy - we keep trying to take photos and a video but he stops moving - here is a photo we did manage to get...

Douglas is a sweet boy - he gets a little excited at times - but settles down pretty quickly - he enjoys going out and seeing new places - he was particularly fond of the pet store! But he is a true terrier - he tried to hunt the little bunnies in their enclosure. Funny for us - not so funny for the bunnies. So we bought him a stuffie - which he hasn't destuffied yet....

We have put him on the Fox Terrier Rescue website - so hopefully he will find his furever home. There is a really lovely family interested in him and we hope it all goes well ... we will keep you posted....

Smell ya later...

Fox Terrier Fun Walk 2 - the Return to Brighton

Hello everyone,

Guess what? We got to see Jackson again! Yep, we went to the Fox terrier Fun Walk - and I do not know how he did it - but Jax even arranged the sunshine. It had been raining all week and then on Saturday the clouds went away and we had blue skies and bright sun. D and C were complaining that they overdressed! We were groomed - lost our woolly coats - so we were just fine...

Here we are together (I am a little shy , but Paddy heard all about the walk from Jackson and was pointing in the right direction)

Now, our D was helping take roll call at the beginning - so she wasn't busy taking photos! So we have to 'borrow' some from others and let you know that Blue has some great ones of the walk on her blog. Jackson has organised photos on his Facebook Page. The walk was open to WFT and friends - the WELTAF group joined - aren't they lovely?

And here are the WFT...

I got to pull Blue the whole way round - we went all along the beach - took a break at a little coffee shop - and some dogs got to play in the water...

As you will see from Blue's Blog - I was forced to beg for my food! But I got lots of biscuits, cuddles and of course some coffee too. I needed the caffeine to keep my energy up!

Some people went back after the beach - but we continued on to Rottingdean - we saw Rudyard Kiplings house. D tried to take a picture of the Blue Plaque - but Douglas was leaving his own tribute...

We had a brief rest in the garden...

We went back on top of the cliffs. And started the long march home...

It was just beautiful - but we were getting tired and were all motivated by the thought of having something to eat when we got back to the Marina. Paddy was a real trooper - he kept up most of the way - but on the last descent - he fizzled out - So C carried him ...

We had a wonderful day - we want to thank Jackson with a big kiss - as he and J1 and J2 did a great job - they also organised goody bags - but we ate ours faster than D could take out her flashy beast! We think all our doggie pals enjoyed themselves - we were so pooped we slept all the way back and then some...

It was a beautiful walk on a beautiful day! In fact, we all want to move to Brighton!

Lots of licks

Sally, Paddy and Douglas

Apologies, News and Announcements!

First off - we want to apologise for not writing sooner - on the blog or on your blogs! But our Typist has had a bit of a rough month and hasn't been tremendously reliable - she apologises - we think of our pals even if we do not always write it down!

Well, we have missed so many Birthdays!!! So we wish to send belated birthday wishes to Asta, Butchy , Molly , Molly and Taffy - that is just the doggies - we know we have missed some human and other doggie ones too! We have made a donation to the Fox terrier Rescue UK on behalf of all the birthdays - as you know we are a little partial to the Wire Fox terriers!

It will be Poppy's birthday on the 10th October and Max's Birthday on the 13th October - so if you can go by and wish them a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY I think they will be super smiley for it. We will too - provided our typist doesn't get swamped again.

Also we wanted to help our pal Woodrow out - his humans have been trying everything to get him back on his paws - and his new treatment is quite pricey - so if you can help in any way - I know they will appreciate it. When our beloved Rowan was ill - D and C paid a lot of V-E-T bills - and they would do anything to help him. In the end, his treatment was very expensive - but the thought that they didn't do everything they could for him would have cost them more.

We are all excited here - we are going to meet Jackson again! Yes, it is the 2nd Fox Terrier Fun Walk - in Brighton - and we are looking forward to it. We have been practising our high pitched barks - so the other dogs will know we are there! There will be lots of photos afterwards no doubt - if you are nearby - please come and join us.

We have a guest staying with us - his name is Douglas and we have been very friendly and welcoming - honest! We will post in the next few days about our friend - so stay tuned...

Here is a photo of all 3 of us (I am on the left, Paddy with his goofy smile and Douglas on the end)

Lots of licks

Sally, Paddy and Douglas
