The Fossil’s sprained knee swelling is better now. So, we we can continue our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. But he wants to walk the coastline, so we’re sadly leaving the pet-friendly Arumvale Self Catering Country House in Swellendam and heading for Struisbaai today. The Fossil (aka Desmond) drove the Mahindra PIKUP along the R319 towards […]

Like I said yesterday, the Fossil (aka Desmond) sprained his knee in the early hours of Sunday morning during our “Still Bay Stalker Strikes” episode. So, we’ve taken a break in our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey while we wait for his knee swelling to go down (kinda appropriate that we’re in SWELL-en-damn, right?). So […]

We got robbed last night! The story should hit the local news headlined “Still Bay Stalker Strikes While Sleeping Beauty Slumbers” and a subhead; “Husky Saves The Day!” (or rather, “Night”). So our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey is turning out to be an adventure after all! Here’s how it went down (literally!). Remember I […]

Ho Hum. Another day spent on the backseat of the Mahindra PIKUP. And so our Walk 4 SOS Huskies fundraising journey continues. So, here’s how our day went. We left our pet-friendly hosts Cheetah Lodge Mossel Bay at 9am and drove down the R328 to Mossel Bay. Approaching Mossel Bay we saw a huge bank of […]

Today our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey was mostly spent driving the Mahindra PIKUP along the coastline. I know, I know – this is supposed to be a walk for Huskies, not a drive for Huskies! But where the heck are we supposed to walk? We left Waterside Lodge Wilderness this morning and drove through George […]

Lucky us! We found a way to walk from Wilderness to George and stay away from the un-pet-friendly beach and N2 motorway. And so our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey continues. Except we walked the other way – from George to Wilderness. Yeah, I know that’s weird when we’re actually heading for Cape Town. Here’s […]

Like I told y’all, and all (sorry – wrong province, that’s Durban) the Fossil wanted to continue our Walk 4 SOS Huskies fundraising journey from Wilderness beach. Well, you guessed it – ‘No Dogs Allowed – again! There’s even an acronym for it; NDA, which rhymes with “nada”, which is Spanish for “Nothing”. And the […]

Like I wrote yesterday, I can’t see our Sedgefield to Wilderness beach walk happening – and I was right! The Fossil and I arrived at Sedgefield beach to start Day 5 of our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey and the first thing we saw is a sign. You guessed it – ‘No Dogs Allowed!’ See […]

The Fossil and I were supposed to start Day 4 of our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey along the beach from Buffels Bay to Sedgefield. We’ll we did the B to S part. But not along the beach. Why? ‘Cause No Dogs Allowed! Like, really!? So humans can hike along the Goukamma Nature Reserve & […]

Today is Sunday and we’re taking a day off my Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. The Fossil says I need a rest. No idea why. After all, we’re walking not running, so what’s the big deal? Anyway, our hosts Andre and Laurette Botha, the pet loving owners of Lakeside Accommodation Knysna, are really nice people. And […]

Today has been an easy, and happy, day in our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey to Cape Town. Although it’s not my birthday today (that’s on 14 August, in case you’re wondering) I received a present from Rogz – the worlds coolest pet gear brand on planet earth! Dad (that’s my adopted human Dad, Desmond, […]

So, I woke up in Plettenberg Bay today. And not just anywhere in Plett – we’re staying at “The” Plettenberg! The most luxurious pet-friendly hotel on the planet! And it’s the best spot from which to begin our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey tomorrow. Now, this is doggy heaven! The Plettenberg Hotel has amazing views over Keurbooms […]

Just two more sleeps before we begin our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. I missed my morning walk today ’cause the fossil wanted to leave Johannesburg real early (it actually wasn’t that early – I’d been awake for hours). Anyway, today, we’ve been “road tripping” – that’s what Des calls it in the review he […]

Three more sleeps to go! Today, the fossil decided that I needed grooming before our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey begins on Friday. So, Des called the experts; The Pooch Parlour in Alberton, Johannesburg. The Fossil (aka Des) explained to the owner, Suzanne Dantu, that we’re walking to raise funds for Husky welfare and that I’m going […]

Today is just four more sleeps before we begin our Walk 4 SOS Huskies journey. So, what’s this T-4 thingy mean? According to the Fossil – that’s Desmond, the old guy who hangs onto my leash – it means that our Big Walk is four days away, so every day he keeps repeating “T-minus four […]
