ABOUT ME:  Milly and Heidi - black and tan, short hair, mini Dachshunds are looking forward to the next walk.

Dachshunds in the Park...

When we started this four years ago, I never would have thought we would have over 250 members and record breaking numbers every time we hold a walk. But I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting the Long Dogs of Western Australia and look forward to many more walks together. 

I am expecting and hoping to break another record on the anniversary of our fourth year, it is our 14th walk and I would like to see us hit 100 dachshunds at Whiteman Park.

So this April please join us and help celebrate by bringing along your own picnic and drinks. There are BBQ areas near the dog park and plenty of parking, toilet facilities etc.

We will hold some sausage dog races like we did on our first anniversary which proved to be lots of fun!!! 

DATE:   Sunday, 15th April 2012

MEETING POINT:   Mussel Pool East, Whiteman Park (car park 21)
http://www.whitemanpark.com.au/Libraries/Visitor_Information_Facilities/2011_Detailed_MP_Map.sflb.ashx

TIME:   3.45pm for 4pm start followed by sausage sizzle

BYO: picnic rugs, drinks and picnic food of your choice

Tomato Lake - Kewdale

 Group photo - another record 88 dogs in total:-)

Casual stroll round the lake

Our next walk is scheduled for :

DATE:   Sunday, 19th February 2012

MEETING POINT:   Tomato Lake, Kewdale on grassy area near Coffee kiosk (plenty of parking on Scenic Drive off Oats Street)

TIME:   9.30am for 9.45am start

*Coffee kiosk opens 9am

There is a cyclepath that is 1.52 kilometres around the lake and a 104m boardwalk going over the lake. This works out as an ideal walk for the dogs as it is short and a complete circle.

As always we are open to suggestions and recommendations for good parks to hold a walk. Ideally with lots of parking, and a short but circular walk so as to be considerate of our older Long Dog members.

But please ensure should you nominate a park or know the park that we attend please can you make yourself known so that we at least have some local knowledge of the area. Thanks :-)

Lastly, if you have found our blog or bumped into a member at a park we would love you to join us but please just send me an email before arriving on the day with your details and photos etc as it saves time on the day trying to make sure we have everyone registered and their contact details. Your adherence to this would be greatly appreciated.

Don't forget we also have a facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/77155173945/ where you can ask members questions.

ABOUT ME:  Dexter is 17 months old. He is a cute mischievious little dog. He came into our lives after our previous Dachie Chip passed away. He is much loved by all our family and loves going to the Dog beach with his Dachie friends Mozart and Poppy. He also likes going on the boogie board in the pool. Dex loves his walks except when it rains - he prefers to be carried!
