Wonderful Westie Walk
CHANGE TO LOCATION OF WALK (updated Sun 7th Nov, 3:15pm)
---------------------
Update: The walk will be going ahead. There are some storms building to the west, but they are still over 200kms away, so we should be safe.
---------------------
We're really sorry to do this to you at such late notice, but we've been advised that Kedron Brook is an area with higher than usual tick population due to the abundance of rain. As a result, and in the interests of safety of all of our Westies, we are changing the walk location to our old favourite at Merthyr Park, starting at the Sydney Street Ferry Terminal on Sunday 7th November at 4:30 pm.
Also, check the website on Sunday in case there are threatening showers. Please let all your fellow Westie Walkers know. We hope to see you there and we apologise for any inconvenience.
Remember during tick season to apply Frontline Plus every fortnight! Vets around Brisbane are currently inundated with doggies who have suffered tick bites with varying degrees of ill effect. Don't let it be your Westie!

Summer's on the way and it's time to get together for our last walk for 2010! We'd love for you all to pencil in your diaries that the Wonderful Westie Walk will be held on Sunday 7 November 2010 at 4:30 pm starting from and finishing at the Grange Library, 79 Evelyn Rd, Grange, and taking in the scenic sights of Kedron Brook.

Simply Social 3 - Sunday 27th July 2008
Thank you for joining us last Sunday for the Simply Social walk. Luckily the rain held off and we were able to complete the walk without getting wet
We have uploaded the photos we took to the Westie Walkers group page at flickr. If you'd like to share your photos from the walk, please join flickr, it's free, and add them to this flickr group, or post a link to where you've uploaded them in the comments below.
Keep on eye out here for details regarding our end of year walk which will likely be held in November.
Simply Social 2 - 27th April 2008
Thank you all for making the walk yesterday afternoon so enjoyable. In addition to the regulars, it was lovely meeting Westies and their owners who joined us for the first time. We hope you will join us again on future walks.
It was great catching up and hearing about the adventures your Westies have been having over the last few months. Like Angus who has 3 stitches in his nose after sticking it through a fence where a larger dog lives, and Maggie who was found safe after having been missing for about 5 weeks. We were very happy to hear that Whiskey has found a new home, and everyone loved seeing the little puppy, Lotus, who made the trip all the way from the Sunshine Coast for the walk.
Here are a few photos from the walk, and more can be found on the Westie Walkers group page at flickr. If you'd like to share your photos from the walk, please join flickr, it's free, and add them to this flickr group, or post a link to where you've uploaded them in the comments below.
See you all in a few months time for the next walk, or at the Redcliffe Million Paws Walk in May.
RSPCA Million Paws Walk - Redcliffe, May 18
Amidst the wind and sunshine several members of Westie Walkers attended the Redcliffe Million Paws walk. See you all next year. Thanks for supporting the RSPCA. Simply Social 1 for 2008
UPDATE: Hope you all had as good a time as we did at the first social walk of the year. I have posted the photos we took on the Westie Walkers group page at flickr. If you'd like to share your photos from the walk, please join flickr and add them to this flickr group.
See you all in a few months time for the next walk.

Walk Sponsors
Thanks to everyone who attended the Westies On Parade walk on Sunday 18th Nov. It was our final walk for what has been an eventful year for Westie Walkers. 2007 saw the launch of this website, which has hopefully given you a platform for sharing information within our community. You were all fantastic in helping us find a new home for Eddie (formerly known as Khan), and kindly donating to our focus charity - Guide Dogs Queensland. You've also helped direct queries about finding Westie puppies, and shared stories in the forums about grooming, pet-friendly accommodation, and Westie health issues. So, here's to 2008! We hope to see you all at our walks next year.
Our photos of the walk have been posted on Flickr in the Wilston Westie's group. We'd love to see your photos from the walk too, so join Flickr, it's free, and add your photos. Also, if you register at Flickr, you'll be able to see larger versions of the photos.
Here's a group photo of the 40 odd Westies that attended the walk. It's pretty hard getting a shot with all of them facing forwards, but there are 3 more in the Flickr group, so hopefully one of them will have your dog facing forwards.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, we were able to bring you some lovely prizes which were raffled at the walk. Here are the photos of the lucky winners..

Simply Social 3
Thanks to everyone who attended the Simply Social 3 walk on Sunday. We hope you all had an enjoyable afternoon, we and Maggie certainly did. If you haven't already done so, you can read Maggie's first-hand account of the walk over at her blog.
We have posted our photos from the walk in the Wilston Westies photo group on flickr. If you are a member of flickr, feel free to join the group and post your photos of the walk there too. If you are not a member, why not join flickr and add your photos. It is easy and it is free.
There was one Westie that was a bit too lazy to make the walk. He preferred just to hang around.
