2013 Million Paws Walk

Hi Readers, today was the RSPCA's million paws walk so I headed off to Mt Tambourine with Eddie, Ozzy and Teddy. We also has GAP teams at Nundah, the Strand in Townsville and Decker Park Sandgate.

It was freezing on the Mountain this morning so we had to snuggle to keep warm. I hope you like the pics.

We passed this guy on the way. He was obviously enjoying his car ride.

 "Are we there yet?" "Are we still in Queensland?"

 "Yeah, we are here."

It was so cold at 07:00 this morning that Ozzy camped out near the fire...

 ... While Aunty Gail and Mum had another way to keep warm.

 Me being cute.

 Bree doing her lap dog trick.

 Go team green!

 Bree photobombed this shot of the lads.

 A little yoga to keep the cold at bay.

 Bandit looking fine.

 Ray cuddling his human.

Those ears, it can only be Minnie.

Jack enjoying a treat.

Mum and Ozzy.

The very cute Teddy, just look at that face.

Ozzy giving Teddy a run for his funny in the worried facial expression contest.

I wish the kids wouldn't distract my security teams.

"Ok, who left the tin of red bull on the ground near Bree?"

Here be snacks!

These two groups are thinking "What the hell are those things?"

This big hound dropped by to see us.

There was face painting for the kids...

... and a fancy dress competition, biggest and smallest dog competitions for the non bipedal.

Guess who is pregnant (but you didn't hear it from me).

One of the little cuties at the walk.

"Look into my eyes and give me your breakfast!"

Its a shame there wasn't a prize for the constantly yappy as this team had it nailed.

Team Kallenbach was there with their pack.

Ozzy cam - waiting for the start of the walk.

And they're off and walking.

Heading home!

Well Readers, that's all I have for now. Thanks again to all our wonderful GAP adopters, foster carers and visitors who helped make today such a success at so many locations. Until next time - bye for now - Murphy.

RSPCA Million Paws Walk - Samford

Hi Readers, The GAP greyhounds attended various location for the Million Paws Walk today and Mum, Dad and my brothers went to the Samford walk. We had beautiful weather which started off chilly but quickly warmed to be another greyt autumn day in Queensland.

We had a terrific turnout of proud hound owners and all of the hounds behaved so well that we got a lot of positive comments from the crowd. I hope you enjoy the photographs - 

This must be the great part of the RSPCA's "All creatures great and small". Peace, love and rainbows baby!

 Some of the early arrivals for team GAP.

 Two cheeky birds with their owner were there.

This lucky pooch escaped the tube of doom at the agility display.

Cousin Ollie was there to promote his PADS Agility  school.

Catching up with old friends.

 Um, not a greyhound but very friendly regardless !

Tibby catching some rays on a cool morning.

 Barry spies the sausage sizzle being held by the local fire brigade.

 Aw, everybody needs their Mum to help them look their best sometimes.

This chap who is part wolfhound dropped in to visit the greys.

The bobbing for cats* activity proved very popular before the walk kicked off.

Can you start a walk with a taser, what happened to a starters pistol?

And the walk is on, 4kms around the lovely village of Samford.

The GAP team looking good.

"Its my turn to be in front, no its my turn". We might be retired but we still like to be the lead hound in a race.

 Former house of hound favourite Mini walked with us.

As did this little guy.

 Yours truly cooling off at the half way point.

 "Hey, stop hogging the clam bath!".

Ozzy, Eddie and Tibby cool off on the return walk.

 Bailey cools his belly after the walk.

"All right, Mr DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up". I think I look rather distinguished here.

Ozzy, Tibby and the team discuss what a greyt day they had while waiting for their lattes. 

* No cats were sampled tasted consumed harmed during the walk. 

Well Readers, that's it for today as Eddie, Ozzy and I are all overdue for a snooze. Thanks to all the greyhound owners who attended and to all the well wishers who stopped us to talk about GAP. Boo to the lady who pushed her pram away from us with a scared look in her eyes, hopefully she fell into a nest of small fluffies and learnt her lesson. Cheers to the RSPCA staff and the Samford locals who made us feel very welcome. Bye for now - Murphy.
