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

  15. So. Wouldn't it be fun if all these doggies who left comments could gather and walk around the world together? What a great group of pals. We'd go pick up Jax, and off we'd go! We're gonna dream about that as we nap. We think it's a great idea.

    Love ya,
    Jake and Fergi xxoo

  18. That looks like so much fun!

    You know I lost my little Kelly in the spring. We always knew that he had lots of terrier in him, but never knew quite what kind.

    I was studying your cute little face, and our little Kelly looked a lot like you!
