Hi, Our names are Charlie, Prudence and Matilda AND we're walking with our superhuman to lend a paw to our furry friends in need.

Please support my Million Paws Walk to fight animal cruelty!

Did you know that nearly 20,000 dogs were cared for by the RSPCA in 2022-23? That’s over 52 dogs every day!

Many of these precious pups are victims of cruelty, bred to turn a profit, abused by their owners or abandoned by the humans they loved unconditionally.

Even one dog is too many.

That’s why I'm walking and wagging at Million Paws Walk. I'm on a mission to raise funds in the fight against animal cruelty.

Will you be a hero for dogs in need?

Please suppawt me by making a tax-deductible donation. Every dollar donated will help rescue, rehabilitate and rehome dogs in need. Thank you so much!

My Updates

The Steve Morris of our team

Wednesday 8th May
He may be small but, for those of you old enough to remember when the ball was properly fed into the scrum and their was no video ref or interchange (and the game was so much better), I wanted to introduce the smallest member of our team Charlie.

Charlie is naturally predisposed to feeling left out (not helped by the inferential misgendering of "here girls").  But he is 10kg of walking machine and an integral part of the team.

Prudence goes for the treats, Matilda for the ball and Charlie for the pats.

He has had a trim, shampoo and nail trim to get ready (and plenty of snore filled beauty sleep).

There's more than one way to play with a ball

Monday 6th May
My sister Matilda is very athletic.  She loves to chase a ball and will do it all day.

I'm less in to chasing and just prefer to chew my ball.  And there is nothing I like more than the feel of grass on my back as I roll.

Matilda says thank you

Sunday 5th May
This was Matilda on the couch last night with her humans and a warm fire.  I could almost imagine her contemplating how lucky she was to have a belly full of premium mince, surrounded by love and warmth and thinking how much luckier she is that a stray dog out in the cold, alone, looking for scraps.

Rucking drills

Thursday 2nd May
Prudence and Matilda are hoping to make it as Rucks. Charlie is more of a crummer. 

May Day donations

Wednesday 1st May
Thank you everyone for the kind donations today.

We're just back from a long ball chasing excursion to Cornellian Bay and having a celebratory sleep, warm in the knowledge that all the donations will help other doggies be safe and comfortable.

Prudence, a reluctant participant

Wednesday 1st May
It is hard to believe how tiny Prudence was not quite 2 years ago when we got her (and then her athletic, working dog sister Matilda) as an 8 week old puppy from Burnie (and who said nothing good ever came out of Burnie-lovely place).

Now, nearly two years on, Prudence has exceeded our expectations in every way.  She is a bit of a scavenger (she quickly grew to a size whereby the table and kitchen benches are easily within reach) and has, no doubt as a consequence of said habit, grown to 37kg (the althletic Matilda is a mere 26kgs).

But Prudence is a Show dog, built for comfort not speed (as Howlin' Wolf sang).  But, that said, she can jump! (reminds me of Shane Mumford - big but a bit clumsy).

And she is loving and gentle and loves nothing more than a cuddle on the couch in front of the fire - sadly, growing up with her cavalier brother Charlie, she thinks she's a lap dog so we've had to move the couch back against the wall as when she launches onto your lap there are a lot of newtons in play.

But "big pru" is ready for the challenge of the million paws walk and keen to see as many dogs as possible made happy by her efforts.
