I had a grooming session today! The nice ladies at The Dog Ladies (that’s Nusca Michéla and Jenney Spykerman holding my leash outside their shop in Kleinmond) sponsored this for me after the Fossil explained my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. And they really are “Dog Ladies”! No, not in looks – I mean the […]

Today we walked another section of my Walk 4 SOS Huskies fundraising journey starting from Betty’s Bay. And we didn’t have to walk from the Hut in Kleinmond to get there. ‘Cause Gamat Van Eeden (that’s him standing next to the Fossil with Anecia from Kleinmond Tourism on the other side) drove our Mahindra PIKUP […]

So, the Fossil took over yesterdays post, but I’m not sulking anymore. ‘Cause today we walked another section of my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey starting from Kleinmond main beach. The rain eased up around midday, so I took the Fossil for a walk from our Frank Robb Hut. We walked along a few Kleinmond […]

Special Report: Jaxx’s Fundraising Story Hey Husky Lovers! This is Des (aka The Fossil) writing todays post because Jaxx is sulking. Why? Because I told him yesterday that we’re going to walk along the beach today, and maybe along some hiking trails in the Hottentots-Holland mountain range behind the cottage. However, last night the wind […]

Wow – what a day! See those people holding my leash? Well, those are the friendliest and most welcoming people I’ve come across since my journey began (other than our pet-friendly hosts, of course! And a few others :-). Anecia Abrahams is from Kleinmond Tourism and Grant Cohen – he’s the Ward Counsellor for Kleinmond […]

What a beautiful sunny Sunday morning for a walkies along the famous Hermanus Cliff Path! We left our overnight spot in the Mahindra PIKUP at Grotto Beach picnic site and parked at the main Blue Flag Beach parking lot ’cause there’s more security there. In yesterdays post I mentioned that we walked the ‘Piet-Se-Bos’ section […]

This morning (Saturday) we woke up early at our overnight spot in the Mahindra PIKUP at Grotto Beach picnic site. Them we drove to Hermanus and the Fossil asked the owner of Cafe Blu if he can set up his iMac for me to catch up on my blog posts. We had to wait for […]

Today, my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey came to a dead stop! That’s ’cause the Fossils cell phone battery went flat and wouldn’t charge. Thankfully, the rain had stopped so we left our sheltered overnight spot under somebodies holiday-home car port at De Kelders in Gansbaai and drove to Hermanus to find a mobile phone […]

This morning we sadly left the Cape Agulhas Backpackers – sadly ’cause it was really comfortable there. So, the Fossil (aka Des) packed our stuff into the Mahindra PIKUP and we headed off for Gansbaai to continue my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey (we’re missing a long section of coastline ’cause ‘there’s “No Dogs Allowed” […]

Today is “walkies” day! We started day 13 of our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey from Struisbaai main beach. Full low tide was at 11am, so walking on the compact sand closer to the surf edge made it easy going. After the sandy part, the Struisbaai coastline becomes pebble beach that’s kinda hard to walk […]
