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.

Those ears, it can only be Minnie.

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.

Sam, Ozzy and Porsche making their way past the slower walkers.

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.

Lest We Forget

Please remember our men and women in uniform who have died and those that continue to serve so that we may live in a free society.

GAP Family "mini" Walk

Hi Readers, the next GAP walk is being held a long long way from the house of hound so Aunty Trish arranged for a small walk closer to home.

We were worried about all the rain on Saturday but Sunday dawned bright and sunny. We headed off to Decker park and had a greyt time.

It was Granny and Grandad's 61st wedding anniversary so we visited them for lunch and a snooze before the walk.

"Really, are we going for a walk now?" Eddie was beside himself with excitement.

Two of our favourite honourary greys were there for the walk.

Getting a cuddle before we set off.

Marlin cam, this was the slowest he was all day.

Some amateurs were practising their downward dog poses in the park .

At the halfway point for a rest and to say hi to the locals.

"Um, has anybody seen Aunty Sharon and Aunty Liz since we got back?"

Pumpkin was all smiles after the walk.
















Well Readers, yesterday I helped Dad mow the lawn, wash the car, went to lunch and had a big walk to finish the day. I think I will need some extra snooze time to catch up! Bye for now - Murphy.

Goodbye Hope.

Our little girl Hope was one of those special needs dogs that so many animal carers take into their families as they weren't wanted elsewhere. Hope lived with us for two years and kept us amused with her antics. Unfortunately her condition worsened lately and we had to make the heart breaking decision to let her go to peace.

Hope at a GAP promo playing with the other hounds.

Good bye darling, we love you. See you at the rainbow bridge.
