THE DOGGIE DOODLE FUN WALK

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adults - two with the aid of their

 wheelchairs; children - some with painted doggie faces ‘doggies’ as described in the poem from one of our members; and cuddly toys all had a wonderful adventure through the beautiful Dalbeattie Forest. 

 

One group with their 4 x 4 off-road baby buggy even went exploring off-track!  Thankfully they returned safely and we didn’t have to call out the search and

rescue dogs!  Many of the dogs enjoyed a cooling bath in the loch, giving their

owners an unwelcome cold shower on their return to dry land.  Those of us who weren’t fit enough to join the intrepid explorers were happy to set up camp under the gazebo, have a chat and refreshments, while minding the ‘shop’.

 

 We had a great fun walk and hopefully we have raised an equally great sum of money for MERGE- a super idea Norma!  Well done!

 

Thank you sincerely all who took part and many, many thanks also for the generosity of all the sponsors and those who donated on the day.  If you were unable to take part but would still like to sponsor one of the dogs please visit

They say the sun shines on the righteous.  Well we must all have been righteous on the 4th June because the sun certainly shone for the Doggie Doddle Fun Walk

 

Members, their families and friends from across the region - even from as far as Carlisle - came to offer support.  As did people from the Dalbeattie area.
