Totally Terrierific - Foxy Fun in the Forest

Pity those walkers expecting a quiet and tranquil Sunday morning stroll in Tyrebagger Wood...

But gosh, I'd been looking forward for ages to attending another meeting of the Aberdeenshire wire-haired fox terrier group. 

I was not disappointed.

We assembled 11:00 am sharp in the car park. 

In total, eight foxies showed up. Newcomer Ollie (sixteen weeks old) looked a little apprehensive at first,

but he soon got into the spirit of things. 

I renewed acquaintance with pretty Meriel (we compared notes on neckerchief fashion).

Peanut, Stan and I were momentarily distracted by an interesting message in the ferns...

But we were 'encouraged' to rejoin the group.

Soon Pickles was in disgrace after a foray into a muddy stream....

Later, Stan tried giving lessons in how to 'pose nicely' on a log,

But before long it all descended into happy mayhem.

Eventually calm was restored, and I took a turn at being the centre of attention.

Then before we knew it we were back at the car park and Ollie was saying a fond farewell.

It was yet another Good Day.

  2. What a fun walk you had Bertie! So exciting to see so many WFT's all at once. Little Ollie looks like a real sweetie, and he's certainly taken a shine to you. I hope he follows your example and behaves impeccably, and not like the naughty Stan!

    Love,

  4. my face hurts from smiling, i started to smile at the first word/photo and my grin got bigger with each picture and its story. thanks for giving me a pickup this mornin. I have been up since 3 and am fasting for a test that is not until 9:30.. i have a caffeine headache and your fun story made it feel better. Ollie is my first ever sight of a puppy of your breed... my favorite is where everyone is going down down down and of course the muddy coat

    OMD, Bertie Lad - what a joyful post to bring us on a rather ugly Monday morning (here at least - cold wind, grey skies, wet stuff and security helicopters scouring the area. Getting a fair bit of that as COP26 approaches - are they just practicing or is there something going on in Dunoon I'd rather not know about??!!)

    Back to you - what a delight to be with such furiends and 'cousins'. Seeing you en masse like this cannot fail to bring smiles to all faces! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  7. OMDs look at all those happy Foxies and their fine tails all flying high and happy. Bertie yay you on this very special occasion. I bet you had great dreams when it was time for your nap. Ollie is a wee little WFT.
    Hugs to you and Gail

  8. What a great get together you had with all those WFT's. It looks like you all had such a fun time and we're sure you all taught little Ollie some new things too.

  10. Oh what fun. Oscar would love a whippet get together - except they's all run the socks off each other!
    Never knew how much I could love and appreciate my dog until these last few weeks - they are best of companions.
