Fox Terrier Fun Walk 5 !!!!

We met up with our Foxy friends in Brighton on the 16th of April, it was walk no 5 and the sun was shining and the tails were wagging!

Here is a group shot...(Sorry D does not know how to biggify!)

We had lots of furry friends too - and overall we were very well behaved - we had to find a new meeting place because they told us to move last time.  Apparently we make too much noise????  How can 30 terriers barking be a bad thing?

Anyhoo we were loud this time too - but we had more space - and no one has complained yet....here are some fun photos ....

Our sweet Poppy in her stroller - she is a Fox Terrier Rescue girl - the walk was a bit long for her so her family brought her carriage...

More fun shots...

We took a lot of photos.... please go to the Flickr page here for all of them! J1 and Noodles have some great photos too and you can see them on the Flickr page for Forever Foxed

Once again we would like to thank all the wonderful doggies and families for joining us and making it a great day.  A special Thank you for J1 and Forever Foxed for helping to organise the day - and of course Daisy's Dog Deli - they made the scrummy treats - sadly D wanted to take a photo of all the goodie bag and stuff - but all that was left was this.....

It is a busy month - we have Easter and Easter is Paddy's Gotcha Day - it has been 2 years that he has been with us and we are so very happy.  We also have the Royal Wedding coming up...starting to get ready for both celebrations....so stay tuned

Lots of licks

Fox Terrier Fun Walk 23 Oct 2010

Yep - it was time for our 4th Fox Terrier Fun Walk - once again it was in Brighton on the promenade of the Undercliff walk. We were really worried because there was a lot of rain predicted - but as we approached Brighton it was sunny! Very Sunny! So we were thrilled! The power of the terrier paw!

We met at Brighton Marina - it took us a while to take photos and get everyone organised - and we were a very loud bunch. As per normal we were asked to move along as we were creating a lot of noise and becoming a distraction - which we feel is appropriate for all those terriers! The video is a little calm - we were much louder! This made D and C smile a lot - there is nothing better than energetic terriers!

or it is on YouTube (We have had a lot of problems with Blogger this morning!)
Fox Terrier Fun Walk 4

There were 16 Wire Fox Terriers, 6 Welsh Terriers and 2 Irish terriers and associated humans!

A great turnout for an uncertain day (at least weather wise) - we had to hang around until D and C could get photos sorted, ho hum..

We walked to the first stop - which is the cafe - but it was a challenge - as the waves kept breaking against the wall and drenching the people on the walkway! D, Me and Paddy got hit by a huge wave and were drenched! Here is an example of what we are talking about

By the time we got to the cafe - we were wet and hungry - we stopped and had coffees and sandwiches - very civilised. There are some great photos on Facebook (click here) or Flickr (click here) - they were taken by Colin's human - Michael Lyons - he is a professional photographer and it shows - there are some great shots! J1 also took some great shots and you can go the Flickr page for Forever Foxed.

Some brave souls ventured on to Rottingdean - then over the cliffs back to the marina - there was a black cloud on the horizon - and it got us! We were hit with cold, sleety type rain - but thankfully it lasted for less than 10 minutes and then went. The sun came back out and dried us for the last bit of the walk.

Paddy got to walk with his new pal Colin, and Noodles - they helped keep him on the straight and narrow - he used them to bounce off of when he walked - so he never slipped into the road - so you see terriers are good assistance dogs!  This is a photo taken by Michael Lyons of the 4 terriers - Paddy safely in the middle of Noodles and Colin - this is one of our favourites! 

We got to meet so many of our pals and make some new ones - it was a great day. J1 and Noodles arranged the lovely goodie bags - sadly we ate ours and there was nothing left to photograph but a plastic bag.

In case you are wondering - my paws are ginger again because my allergies have hit - D wanted to get me all pretty for the walk - but I hate baths - so she thought as it would rain she would wash me when we got home. So if I seem a little 'grey' blame D! Our next blog will have a clean me - promise!

Fox Terrier Fun Walk 3

Hello everybloggy!

Yep, we went to the 3rd Fox Terrier Fun Walk - 24 April, 2010. We met at Brighton Marina - and walked the Undercliff walk. Not sure how it happened by D and J1 organised the sunshine too! It was a beautiful day and we were all up for a walk!

Here is a video of the line-up (we were missing a few Irish terriers and fox terriers in this clip) - there were a lot of dogs - we tried to take count and came up with these numbers: 17 Wire Fox Terriers, 1 Smooth Fox Terrier, 5 Welsh terriers, 3 Irish Terriers, and one Airedale

You will notice in the video that one Wire is more vocal than the others - yep, that was DOUGLAS! His family joined us - he is looking wonderful - and he is in fine voice too!

Here are some more photos of the line up - but we needed the panoramic function on the camera - as it was a long line up!

There were so many wonderful doggies and people. Our official photographer was Blue! She walked me for a bit - I was a better girl this time and didn't pull too much.

We also got to see Jackson again! (here he is trying to sneak some ice cream from Blue)

We know he hasn't been well lately and we keep sending him lots of terrier vibes - he enjoyed himself on the day and was a very gracious host!

There were a lot of doggies - we stopped at the Cafe and we all went to the beach to play. There were 10 terriers off lead playing in the water and wandering around - and no problems! Not even one argument - everyone was on their best behaviour!

Reynard and his boots...

A little girl named Poppy - she was rehomed in November 2009 - it was lovely seeing her and her lovely family!

And here is a rescue from the RSPCA - sweet little Billy...

We then carried on to Rottingdean and up and over the cliffs back to the Marina. Paddy and I were flagging - Paddy has had back problems and we weren't sure he was going to be up for the walk. But with true Terrier tenacity we kept going....

(Do you like my new orange collar? My Nonna sent it to me - Thank you Nonna - Baci Baci Kisses!)

But Paddy was very poopy by the end of it - here he is taking a break - look how long his tongue is!!!

Well we made it back to the Marina and had a well earned lunch! Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to Jackson's family who helped arrange a lovely day, to Blue for being our photographer and of course all the doggies and people that attended and made it a perfect day!

There will be more photos on the Fox Terrier Rescue UK site shortly....when D gets her act together....

Lots of licks

PS We had a lovely goody bag - but ours has been taken apart already! Biscuits eaten (Thank you J1 and Dogs Dog bakery!) - but here is a picture of the non edible parts....

More Fox Terrier Fun!

Hello everybloggie,

Well as you know - it was the First Fox Terrier Fun Walk on Sunday (Fox terrier Rescue).  C couldn't make it - so D had to drive to Brighton on her own.  Well, she hasn't been on the motorways (highways) for months - so she was a little anxious - but minus a little detour where we started heading North as opposed to South - we made it safe and sound.  Stanmer Park was beautiful - we parked and started walking and saw more Fox Terriers like us!

We met at the cafe and I was well behaved - but Paddy started barking at his new found friends - they replied and then the lady from the cafe came out and asked if we could stand on the opposite side of the street - Geez!!  Some People!  We were just chatting.

Well, D handed Paddy to a nice lady named Diane and he led the charge - thankfully a nice lady named Annette was guiding the group - D wasn't really prepared and was a little concerned she would lead everyone the wrong way and we might never make it out!  So well done Annette - she made the walk go smoothly.  

We met so many lovely WFTs and their owners - and we got to meet JACKSON!  I was too shy to ask for his pawtograph - but we got to walk together and we sat on the grass chatting afterwards. He was keeping an eye on the Goody box - making sure no one stole anything... He is lovely...

Paddy and I had lots of fun and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves..

Here is Rosa standing up to make herself heard...

This is Max at the cafe - he was raring to go too..

Here is Hector getting some attention from a young walker (we love his stickie uppy ears)

 

Here is Tinkerbell and 2 walkers having an in depth discussion about something...

Here is Paddy (the other Paddy) meeting Seamus - one of the Irish Terriers that joined us.

Kelly made it at the last minute - poor thing - she had a dodgy tummy - but she was a big brave girl and kept up with all of us 

We would of had more pictures - but sadly D isn't good at multi tasking - walking and photo taking are not her strong points sadly - so we have missed some dogs out!

But here is a group shot - there were about 15 Fox terriers and 4 other furry friends - we didn't bother to count the humans!  

We don't know how to big up the photo - but if D figures it out - she will amend it later.  But everyone had a great time - and we are planning to organise another one soon.  Jackson and J1 did a great job and this wouldn't of happened without them and a big thank you to them for the Goody bags!  Those biscuits were delicious - Paddy liked it too - but he has been known to eat dirt - so we are not taking his opinion too highly.  Here is me wanting D to open the bag up quickly!

There are no after shots - as the biscuits did a disappearing act in my mouth...I did share with Paddy.  Thank you to the Dog Dog's Bakery!

Well we were so pooped when we got home - we slept the afternoon away - we were so happy to meet all the other Fox Terriers and hope we can get another one together soon.  

Lots of licks

My Life is back to Normal

Hello all,

Well, Paddy has gone back to the rescue - both D and C were very very sad - he needs a checkup with his Eye Specialist and maybe we will see him again soon.  D and C are not very good foster carers as they have one foster dog and want to keep him.  I should not have behaved so well - I should have been more bossy.  We think he enjoyed himself - he loves his walkies - here he is with his Lurcher (greyhound) and collie pals - I am very fond of the big lurcher - his name is Charlie - and I like him a lot!  

We brought him back to the Rescue and he settled back in nicely - after a few cuddles - he settled on the couch.

I was not so relaxed - although they were wonderful to me at the Rescue and they found me such a good home - I am not entirely comfortable being there.  So I spent most of the time stuck to D or C's legs.  

D thinks he has been a good influence on me - but how is that possible?  I have always been perfect, no?  

So my life has gone back to normal - we are back home and I went walkies this morning - and thought I would show you the lovely daffodils in our park.  Spring is definitely here - and I am looking forward to the bluebells arrival.  Will post photos when they are in bloom - they are BEAUTIFUL

Well, all that excitement at the Fox Terrier Rescue brings me to the Fox Terrier Fun Walk we are organising on the 19th of April, 2009 in Stanmer Park (Brighton).  It is the first Fox Terrier Fun Walk and we are hoping it will be a success.  I might even get to meet my pal Jackson finally!  We will try and get some of the rescues there if we can - they will deserve a fun day out.  

Go to the website and check the details out - hopefully they can get a good crowd and have all the Fox Terriers strut their stuff.  

We will of course take lots of photos - 

Lots of licks
