Mission impossible for Jake le Setter in Nunroyd Park
Hi Folks
To all my faithful sponsors a woofing, bg thankyou as with your help I raised yet another £100+ this time round for Rotary charities taking my overall total over 7 years to more than £1000. So what was my task this year and your problem to solve as I completed my one hour circuit of Nunroyd Park? Simply how many times would I stop to sniff? The answer was only 41, probably a lot less than my Mum thought but there was a distraction. Trying to put me off was a massive field of cross country runners. However Mark Whitfield was spot on with his guess and this was no fix! Honest!. Well done Mark!
As you can see from the photo I needed a quick rest, eyeing up the ducks for my dinner! Only joking! Unfortunately this was my last Jakethon as I am now 12+, well retired fromDog Showing and my regular qualifications for Crufts and a while back from being an ISAR International Search and Rescue).
Woofing you all thanks again for your unfailing support - Jake le Setter
