Money for Kittehs and Puppehs!

I've never asked for money on the blog and I never will, for me anyway. I've always blogged for the fun of it and to improve my writing skills etc. etc.

But this post is a little different, because of this guy.

Micky

This is Micky. This September he will turn 2 years old but he is lucky to be with us. He was born at the pound and had been there a little while when we got him. He is the nicest and most polite little dog I have ever owned. A perfect complement to his older sister Frankie (named after Rosalind Franklin no less).

Frankie

Whilst my wife and I consider ourselves very lucky to have both of our dogs many dogs sit in shelters and pounds all around Australia, and of course all around the world.

As a big supporter of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) I will be taking part in their major fund-raising drive 'The Million Paws Walk'. It's a great event where everyone can bring their dogs along and go for one big walk together to raise awareness, and a little cash, for a cause that's very important to me.

I realise that you cant all make it to my home town to go on the walk yourselves given that most of you are actually in the States or the UK but, if you want to, you can be a virtual member of my team and sign up to donate using the widget on the right (you might have to scroll up a it too)*. A couple of bucks makes all the difference so if you have any to share please consider donating. If you can't donate then that's cool too, instead you could volunteer at your local shelter.

Well that's it, I'm not going to push it but if you can help I'd really appreciate it. Plus who could say no to these guys?
