Having
arranged a walk in September only a relatively small number were able to attend
so a further date was agreed for 6th October .
The
preceding week it was fair to say the weather was mixed, and as we approached
the weekend there were concerns. However, I was determined the walk would go ahead
and hoped for a good turn-out. (I secretly had a little word with the weather
gods Zeus & Quora and asked them to be kind to us). Amazingly, the day
dawned bright, and a fantastic array of Eurasiers with their families turned
up, along with several would-be owners wanting to meet the breed. As always, we
created quite a talking point amongst the many dog owners enjoying the café, as
we waited for everyone to arrive, with someone even correctly identifying the
dogs – something of a first!
We all had a
lovely walk through the beautiful woodland bathed in bright sunshine, except
for Grande Dame Pamina, who is a bit slow these days but thoroughly enjoyed all
the fuss and treats before and after. Whilst we avoided the canal , the recent
rains had created some huge puddles in which many of our fluffies found great
delight racing and chasing and generally having fun.
Among the
throng of about 20 dogs, of all ages and glorious colours, two pupsters also
attended their first Eurasier pack walk, Ida and Ludo, who were completely
unfazed by the crazy behaviour of their full-sized ‘cousins’. Another first was
Thatcher going off lead, but not ‘off piste’ and as always, Blue gave his all –
he is a boy whose mantra is ‘I just wanna have fun’!
Our walk
terminated with a return to the café for refreshments for those that wanted to
linger a little longer and enjoy some home made Eurasier-shaped biscuits (check
out our Merchandise page to buy the Eurasier cookie cutter!). I think it is
fair to say the walk was a great success. Thank you to all those who came along
and we look forward to seeing everyone again soon.
