The Million Paws Walk 2008 & about me meme

G'day Maties,

Last week our pinkies took us on the annual Million Paws Walk. This event is a fund raiser for the RSPCA and we all know how important that is. It is held at many locations all over the country and we went down to Sydney's Olympic Park. We saw hundreds of dogs and their pinkies. We met up with our friend Mindy who is now the same size as the girls.

When we got there we all gathered in a large park where we listened to the head honcho of the RSPCA give his speech. Then Anthony Field from the Wiggles gave a talk about his role on the tv show Animal Rescue (which pinky can't watch because it's too sad).

Anyhoooo lots of people were gathered around listening to the speech and some were standing underneath this big sculpture. Suddenly thousands of litres of water erupted from the sculpture which turned out to be one giant fountain, and they were absolutely soaked to the skin which was rather unfortunate because it was a very cold day......eeeeeep! I can tell you pinky would not have been happy if she was under there, besides getting the hair wet she would have been very cold. B and the girls just missed getting wet but D and I were well back.

The walk went for 3 kilometres and when we got back to the park we had some lunch and listened to a band. The was also lots of doggy and pet merchandise to look at.

Check out the two new maties we made on the day. That is Jaffa the airedale and Belle the WFT.

We had a great time and it was great to see so many people and their pooches supporting it.

We've also been tagged by our new airedale friend George the airegirl to play the about me meme.

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post,the player than tags 4 or 5 people and post their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you have posted your answer.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago? Hmmm hard to say as I wasn't born yet

!2. What are the 5 things on my to do list for today: Sleep, go walkies, eat dinner, bark at guests and chase possums

3. Snacks I enjoy: Frozen hoki fillets, bacon, cheese and liver treats

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:Just like George I would make D & B stop working, then I would fence the yard and turn our property into a big dog leash free area

5. Three of my bad habits: ok some of you may be surprised but I'm a whinger. I cry to go out, I cry to come in etc you get the picture. I can be antisocial and if something is in my way I find it difficult to get past so I whinge some more

6. Five places I have lived:I've only ever lived here and with the breeder

7. Five jobs I have had: I'm a guard dog. I babysit my sissies. I make sure possums stay away. I protect the pinkies and I walk D to the station in the mornings.

I think I'll tag Kirby, Mack, Mango and Moco. If you've already played just ignore me, I won't mind lol.

Well that's it for today.

Hugs and tail wags,

Noah xx
