The beagles took over Walkhaven yesterday…! There were a TON of beagles!! i know i say this every time, but i’m sure this was a record number!! Everywhere you looked, you just saw noses down and tails up!! it was great

lots of new people and beagles – i hope they all had a fun time!

PLEASE NOTE: This was our last official meetup at walkhaven for this summer… our next meeting will be at the HUNT VENUE and serve as a registration for new people and a bit of an orientation morning. I will be sending out an email with all the details… so, keep an eye out for that!!

Thanks again to Carmel for being the “Official Photographer”

little Snoopette, I mean, Penny was the highlight of the day she is SUCH a confident little girl this one! Running around, playing in the water, getting chased by golden retrievers, being cuddled by anyone who could get her to sit still for more than 5 seconds…

Hi All…

Rachel the missing beagle is no longer missing!!

See the comment from her mom on the website:

Michelle Gouws on 31 January, 2010 at 4:00 pm #

Hi Guys,

I am so happy writing this message. We found Rachel!!! She walked into a friend of ours’ yard and she immediately knew that this is the dog that has had everybody searching like crazy. Thank you so much for all your help and caring. Rachel is ok, she looks a bit thin but we gave her a good meal and her tail is up and wagging again. Again I would like to say thank you to everybody who helped to look for her. We are eternally grateful. Pierre, Michelle and kids

Thanks to everyone who helped in any way – from looking for her, to forwarding emails and circulating her picture! THANK YOU!!

Hi Guys…

I got this in my inbox today, shame, look how sad she looks

Can you give this girl a new home??

Email from Rachel’s family… Please circulate!!

“Hi Guys,

This is most unfortunate, but I am writing this mail to appeal for your help.

On Sunday 24 January 2010, Pierre and I took our 3 beagles on a walk in Delta park with the beagle club. Unfortunately Rachel, our young tri-color female went missing. Obviously we are devastated and we have searched for the past 2 days until dark to try and find her, but to no avail.

I would like to ask that you spread the word to friends who live around Johannesburg. The more people know about her the easier it will be to find her.

Rachel is nine months old and is a slender dog with a lot of black on her back and brown and white face. She was wearing a pink collar with her name and our telephone number on at the time she went missing. She is a very adorable dog, but please bear in mind that she has a family who is inconsolable because we love her so much and we are worried sick. We will do anything to get her back. If you took our baby please return her to us. We will gladly help you to find your own friend. We are also willing to pay a generous reward to anybody who will return her to us.

If you have any leads as to where we can look for her please do not hesitate to mail or call me. My number is 083 233 4967 or you can call Pierre on 083 644 6997.

Thank you so much for your understanding and help.”

EDIT 1 FEB – HANNAH HAS A NEW HOME!

Hi Guys…

there is a (approximately) 5 year old female beagle in Fourways who is looking for a new Forever Home… Her name is Hannah the Hound…

Her current family got her from the S.P.C.A. so she doesn’t have papers, but she is pedigree.

She is spayed and Micro chipped.

She is friendly with dogs / cats and children

She is scared during thunderstorms

REASON FOR REHOMING:

“She is a lovely dog, the only problem is we need to run a business from home and she likes to be inside the house – this is a bit impractical – we only allow her in after hours, but since she is so social, she gets really frustrated. We also have young baby and she is determined to get in the house at all costs (since she is so intelligent – she injured herself trying to jump through the window). I don’t want this to happen again.

She also gets nervous during thunderstorms and tries to get inside.

We need an owner that is prepared to allow her in the house on a more regular basis. She is such a lovely dog with beautiful tri-colouring, so we really want to find her a good home.

Her name is Hannah the Hound…

She is about 5 years old, is very social, passive and friendly. She can be disciplined although she has not been to school.”

If you are interested in meeting Hannah, please email CHRISTINE

Hey Everyone…

yesterday at our Delta Park get together, a little beagle went missing…

Her name is Rachel, she’s a 9month old tri-colour female. She has a pink collar with a Rogz name tag (Altho her collar might come off).

Please forward these details to anyone you know who lives/works/walks in and around the Delta Park area.

Her mom and dad are very worried about her… if you do spot her, the numbers to call are:

Pierre on 083 644 6997 or Michelle on 083 233 4967

SEARCH PARTY: We are having a search Party for Rachel this afternoon from about 4pm at Delta Park and the surrounds… if you are able to come and help, please do!! Keep the above phone numbers on your cell phone please!

Our first beagle meet-up for 2010! It was great to see everyone again… and meet lots of new people and beagles.

Thanks to Carmel for the photos
