Our Last Fox Terrier Fun Walk - October 2017 24 Oct 2017 5:51 AM (7 years ago)

Saturday 14th October 2017 saw our Fox Terrier Fun Walk in Brighton, UK, co-hosted by Forever Foxed with Diana from Terrier SOS

The walk followed its usual format. We met at Brighton Marina at 11.00 and after registering the dogs and their humans, sauntered along the Undercliff Walk to the Ovingdean Gap Cafe. Here we stopped for refreshments, with many terriers playing off lead on the beach, A number continued on to Rottingdean for lunch before strolling back across the cliff tops to our starting place. Another group headed directly back to the Marina, stopping at different cafes on our return.

A huge thank you for everyone who turned up and made this such a special occasion. We were very lucky to be joined on the walk by Gabriella, Hélène and Clément from France, and Philippe from Belgium with their dogs. Thank you so much!

Basil's fundraising adventure 26 Jun 2016 9:52 AM (8 years ago)

Basil & Michael on our Fox Terrier Fun Walk, April 2010

Our dear old Fox Terrier pal Basil is raising funds for the DogsTrust.

Accompanied by his owner Michael, Basil will be walking an almost 200 mile coast to coast route, from the cliffs of St Bees on the Irish Sea, to the fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay on the North Sea.

As Basil is blind and 15 years old, he will only walk short distances, the rest of the time he will be carried by Michael in his customised rucksack.

The walk is scheduled to take around 16 days, passing through three National Parks and across some of the UK's best landscapes.

If you would like to help Basil reach his target of £3,200 for the DogsTrust, please click here to donate.

Good luck Basil!

New Dog Print 4 Apr 2016 2:16 AM (9 years ago)

Just finished a new print for sale in our Etsy shop and on our website.

It's based on the popular Edith Wharton quote, "My Little [Old] Dog...A Heartbeat At My Feet". I believe that this haiku-like poem was written on the end pages of her volume of "Sages et Poètes d'Asie" by Paul-Louis Couchoud, and was about her Pekinese dog. Later it was published in the Yale Review.

It's a lovely quote and seemed the perfect accompaniment to a sketch of my sleeping terrier, Noodles.

Notice anything different? 14 Mar 2016 1:05 PM (9 years ago)

Regular readers may have noticed that we have changed our profile and banner in a bit of a rebrand. What do you think?

Much as we loved our old images, we felt it was time for a change.

The real difficulty was how to go about it. I toyed with a few ideas myself but could never seem to get it quite right.

A chance conversation with Ali and Jam from hello DODO at the end of last year brought them on board and the rest is history! I have been a huge fan of their screenprinting work for ages and love their colourful style and general cheerfulness. They totally got what I was after, and they were a dream to work with. Now they are offering rebranding and design services too, as well as their lovely products, so do check them out and tell them I sent you!
