June GAP Family Walk

Hi Readers, I had to stay home today to look after the twins while the rest of the family went to the GAP family walk this morning. I'm not happy I missed the walk but am glad that I am trusted enough to look after the house of hound while Mum and Dad are away.

Anyway, it looks like everybody had a greyt morning at Newfarm Park catching up with old friends and making new ones.

"We'll meet you under the big tree near the rotunda".  The early arrivals head to the meeting spot.

Lovely to see so many happy hounds with their families.

Dad says this is some sort of human pup containment and conveyance device.

Team Suzanne arriving for the walk.

Our smallest honourary grey for a day took the whole lack of height thing really well.

 Not a greyhound but pretty cute never the less.

These guys have the greyhound instinct for taking it easy so they must be OK.

Walking along the river in beautiful Brisbane.

Greyhounds as far as the eye can see. What a fabulous sight to see.

"Psst, I think you took a wrong turn back there". The cafe is up here.

One of our fosters waiting for a drink.

The queue for breakfast started early at the end of the road cafe.

"Come on Dad, buy me an ice cream for breakfast".

A shot of our growing GAP family along the river bank.

Some of our foster dogs looking for their forever homes. Don't they look spiffy in their learner jackets?

"So kid,this is why they tell you not to put your arm of of the bus window".

Eddy photo bombing our foster boy Jimmy.

Foster mum meets former foster hound. I think both were very happy to see each other but covered it up well!

"Did somebody say cat?". "Never mind, its just a city cat ferry".

A couple of cuties at the end of the walk.

Lucy having a snooze post walk.

Well Readers, now that my twin minding duties are done I'm off for a snooze. Remember to pat your hounds before you leave for work or go to bed 'cause we really love that. Bye for now - Murphy.

Prancer Makes His Stage Debut

Hi Readers, brother Prancer made his stage debut with the gorgeous Melinda Schneider at Brisbane's QPAC playhouse over the weekend in Melinda's hit show Doris.

It was very short notice for Prancer but he handled it like a trooper which is just as well as I had a previous engagement and couldn't make it. Dad said that if you like the songs of Doris Day then you'll love the show.

I hope you like the photographs -

Melinda singing her beautiful song "Your eyes could never lie" also known as the doggy song to Prancer.

A publicity still of Melinda. Dad said that guys who aren't into musicals would like this picture. Not sure what he meant by that?

Some of Prancer's new fans were waiting at the stage door to meet him.

A treat for a job well done. Mmmm ... soft serve!

A view of the Brisbane skyline from South bank. Prancer and Dad chilled here between performances.








Anyway Readers, I need to see if I can fit on the lounge next to Prancer's huge head. Until next time - Bye for now - Murphy.

2014 Million Paws Walk

Hi Readers, the GAP crew was invited to the Million Paws Walk at Decker park this morning . We had a very early start but what a greyt day it was with heaps of people dropping in to meet us and give us cuddles. There must have been close to 500 people and their canines there.

I hope you enjoy the photos -

"Here we go, here we go , here we go!". Travelling with the young ones is always a bit rowdy.

An early start for the team but such a beautiful south east Queensland day for the walk.

Mum watching some early arrivals at Decker Park.

 "Isn't that captain Jack over there?" we asked.

First cuddles of the day went to these lucky visitors.

"Hoots mon, how is the weather up there?" Me being heckled by this wee jock.

A possible dispute over whose wall this was resolved without incident.

 Wiener cam in action.

 All set up and ready to go.

 I didn't have the heart to tell these people that this wasn't the queue for coffee but rather late walk registrations.

Our friends from the police and PCYC were close by to watch over us.

Young Bundy dropped in to say hi to the team.

"Dad, what is wrong with his coat, its all curly?" asks Teddy.

A young visitor gets a Teddy cuddle during a visit to our display.

"Are greyhounds friendly?" this couple asked. "Let us show you" we replied.

 Bear watching over his family's pup during the walk.

This greyhound could be a girl, me thinks.

 A small section of the crowd from this morning.

Hee hee!

Some of us mingling in with the crowd.

 Yours truly.

It was a day for lace skirts and much embarrassment all round.

 Cuddles for all.

Councillor Newton starting off the walk and thanking everybody for attending.

Team small fluffy on the move.

Me with my brutha from another mutha Wiz. Good looks clearly run in the family.

Councillor Victoria Newton with mum and aunty Margaret.

 A quiet moment for Emily and Aunty Margaret.

This cav was a little overwhelmed by the end of it all.

Dad took Eddy for a paddle after the walk as he was very hot.

Tarzie chilled out after the walk this morning...

.. While the lads and I went partying at the local blue light disco where I showed off my famous tanty dance.









Well Readers, thank you for visiting. I'm planning on having a snooze this afternoon and then we shall see what the night brings. Until next time - bye for now - Murphy.

Happy Mother's Day

Hi Readers, all of us greyhounds would like to wish our adoptive mums a beautiful mother's day and say thank you for looking after us all year.

Surprise wake up cuddles at the house of hound for mum this morning.










Anyway Readers, due to my early start I'm behind on my sleep diary so I'm off to fix that right now. Until next time - Murphy.
