Yesterday, Steve, Jesse and I took part in the RSPCA Million Paws Walk. I was shocked at how many people were there! Jesse was so excited! I don't think he knew what to make of so many dogs in one area. There were dogs of all kinds, many of whom were dressed in costumes and there were even 2 Duck Tollers! That's our first Toller sighting since we moved here. They both belonged to the same family and they were adorable! Apparently, there are only about 400 Duck Tollers in all of Australia. I guess Jesse makes 401:)
We did a 3 km walk and then enjoyed the booths. There were people selling dog/pet stuff (all proceeds going to the RSPCA), food, info about the RSPCA and articles and pictures that could make even the biggest meat eater consider becoming a vegetarian.
There was also fly ball and agility stuff going on and places where you could get your dog bathed. We didn't want to ruin Jesse's day by putting him through that, although he could have used it!
All and all we had a great time and it felt good to help such a wonderful cause. Thanks again to those of you who sponsored us! I would love to get a team together next year and do the walk with a group. So, if you have a dog and like to walk, keep it in mind for next year!:)

Thank you for telling us about RSPCA Fun Run. We have just moved from South Australia:where I was involved in Agility, Obedience and tracking. My friends over there have Duck tolling reteivers competing in the above and doing very well.My old goldie loved them so much she would always submit to them by laying on her back; She would only do that for duck tollers.Once again thank you for your bright site, John and Henry (GSD)
