Natalie, the woman who runs the daycare/boarding place that I take Robinson, organized a team to take part in a local fundraiser for the SPCA. Specifically, we were raising money for the Wild Arc wildlife rehabilitation center that the SPCA operates here.

It was a beautiful day, and a lovely walk. Because we raised over $1100 for the SPCA, our team won some nice prizes and got our photos taken - maybe in the paper tomorrow! In case we're not, or for those not lucky enough to live here in Victoria, here we are

Team Sirius

That's me (of course) with Robinson on the left, then Natalie and Junior, Natalie's husband Michael with his Irish Wolfhound Fergus, their friend Ray and Ray's dog (whose name I forget).

Clio was an SPCA cat, so today's walk was in her memory.

Oh, and you can see more photo-highlights of the event here.

All my pics of Trusty also predate digital cameras and I don't think I ever got any into the photo albums (most of my photos from the last twenty years are still waiting to go into albums), so it might take a bit before I could find one to scan in.

I think Trusty was the best, smartest dog we ever had. My first husband witnessed her being hit by a car and brought her home. Even hurt and in pain she never snapped or growled when he picked her up and as we cared for her after the surgery she required. My eldest son, then five, gave her her name: because, he said, she trusted people.
