Today we had our first meetup at Walkhaven Dog Park. I had never been before, but always wanted to go 
The turnout was amazing… I’m guessing there were 25 to 35 beagles who came through during the afternoon. A couple of new faces who we don’t know from the hunts, but got the info off our Facebook Group and our Twitter account.
It’s quite a different environment to the hunts, and a few of us were a little nervous of letting our dogs off lead.
Walkhaven is a great place… the licensed restaurant is built up on a deck which overlooks the whole property, and the lake in the middle. There are tables and chairs dotted around under the trees and a little lapa down by the lake. There’s lots of long grass for the dogs to play in… and LOTS of wonderful black mud for them to get filthy in!! (which they DID!)
Everyone seemed to have a GREAT time (beagles and people) whether it was chilling on the deck with a beer, or exploring the area, or having a swim in the lake… or even being thrown in the lake to get the mud off (no names mentioned Jet, Ninja, Oscar I’m looking at you boys!!).
Our next social event is a fundraising walk at Zoo lake on Sunday 25 October (click here for more)
And the next Walkhaven day is Sunday 22 November (click here for more) … come along with the family, it’s great fun!!
Here are some pics I took during the day… (Click on a picture to enlarge it)

Yesterday was such fun!
And since we got home from Walkhaven, Harry has been SO loving – I think he’s saying thanks for a wonderful day!!
Can’t wait til the next one! (22 Nov)
yes it was a blast !! Bet walkhaven has never seen anything like it !! all these naughty beagles !
Looking forward to meeting up again as well as bringing Royce and Bentley through for their maiden hunt!
it was great, we only left at 7!! dogs loved it, and the new fatty ran around and lost some weight, looking forward to the next one!
@Tanesh … I’m sorry I never got to meet you guys! 
… I’ve added your email address to my mailing list, and will keep you up to date on all our events!
@timmo i’m glad fatty had some cardio we will definately stay for sun-downers next time 
Glad we have decided to have a few meet ups in summer aswell. It was a great afternoon and Snoopy and Koda had an absolute ball. Koda is already missing his new BFF’s Oscar and Harry. Both dogs crashed for the entire trek back to the East ( Which is very unusual for Koda – lol ). Counting the sleepies till the next one.
Oops – I spelt Koda’s name wrong in the post :/ sorry boy!
So Sorry we missed it, we were so looking forward to it, but then hubby got stung by bees on Friday and all our plans for the weekend went out the window! Looks like you guys really had a lot of fun! Definately seing you in Nov!!!!!!!!!
