Pearcedale “Paw”dock

We have some sad news to share. Many of you will be familiar with our er sheep, Forrest & Caramel that are in the paddock next door. Sadly we lost Forrest tonight.

We've poured our hearts into caring for this big boy this week, with countless people rallying to help him pull through after he was was found cadt on Sunday morning . Just when we saw a glimmer of hope—he began eating and drinking today—we thought he was on the mend. We had him up and standing tonight and then l suddenly, and heartbreakingly, he passed away. It seems a heart attack took him swiftly, despite his valiant efforts to stay with us.

It's a somber end to an intensely emotional week. We have had an insane amount of people come and help us since Sunday, from help caring for him, through to dropping off food and evening sending care ideas and just messages of hope & support.

Rest in peace, my woolly friend Forrest. (Photo taken this morning after he had demolished some treats)

🌟 Come Join or donate to "Team XL Grey Shirts" at The Great MND Relay 2024! 🌟 Saturday 27th April, 2024

We’re rallying everyone to step up with us in the fight against Motor Neurone Disease (MND). This year, our inspiration comes via Finn, a 9-year-old who’s leading our team to honour his Glampa Shane. Let’s make Finn's idea a reality by coming together for this important cause!

👟 **Why are we doing this?**
In honor of my stepfather Shane Lewis and supporting the 251 Victorians diagnosed with MND this year, we'll be walking, scootering, and running for 251 minutes. MND is a condition that progressively weakens the motor neurons, causing significant muscle weakness and even pararalyis. There is NO treatment and NO cure.

🏃‍♂️ **Join Team XL Grey Shirts**
No matter your pace or if you need to take breaks - there's a spot for everyone. Whether you walk, scooter, or run, your presence counts! Sign up to move with us: [Join Our Team](https://www.mndrelay.org.au/events/tickets/6/the-great-mnd-relay-2024?team=2306)

🎉 **Cheer Us On!**
Not ready to hit the track? You can still be part of the day! Come and cheer from the sidelines. Enjoy the entertainment, music, and food trucks, and be part of this vibrant community effort (no registration required to cheer).

💙 **Support MND Research and Services**
Every donation helps us get one step closer to a cure and supports those living with MND. Donate here and help make a difference: [Donate to Support](https://www.mndrelay.org.au/my-fundraising/2392/finn-cadman)

Let’s come together for Shane, for Finn, and for all those facing MND. Your support means everything. See you there!

👟💙 We're stepping up for The Great MND Relay to confront the challenges posed by Motor Neurone Disease (MND). This devastating condition gradually takes away one's muscle control and independence and has no cure.

This year, young Finn is dedicating 251 minutes to walk in solidarity with the 251 Victorians diagnosed over the past year, and in a special tribute to his Glampa, Shane, who is living with MND. We are walking to raise awareness and critically needed funds for MND support services.

MND can strike anyone, profoundly impacting individuals and their families. That’s why this cause, and Finn’s effort, deeply need your support. Every contribution goes directly to improving care and advancing research for those affected by MND.

Please join us in supporting Finn and everyone facing MND. Together, we can make a real difference. Donate today and help us bring hope and support to those in need. 🙏💪

DONATE HERE: https://www.mndrelay.org.au/my-fundraising/2392/finn-cadman

Thank you for your kindness and support! 🌟💕

Support Finn's Walk for Motor Neurone Disease

Join Finn as he leads a team in a walk to honor his Glampa, Shane, who was recently diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

This cause is deeply personal to Finn; not only is his beloved Glampa (Shane, my step father) fighting this condition, but we also remember my Aunty who passed away from MND 30 years ago.
Finn is just 9 years old, but is motivated by his love of his Glampa and a desire to make a difference. Finn initiated this fundraising campaign and has already raised $692 for Motor Neurone Disease Association of Victoria.

Let’s help him reach his goal of $1,000!

Every donation helps, no matter how small—even a $5 contribution can make a big impact. Please donate today using the link below to support Finn's commendable effort to aid those affected by this challenging disease.

If you're unfamiliar with MND, we encourage you to learn more about it. It’s a rare condition with no known cure and a very difficult prognosis to come to terms with.

Donate here to make a difference!
https://www.mndrelay.org.au/my-fundraising/2392/finn-cadman?fbclid=IwAR1OgTT1rwxOz1bwf5XQDUkVdEQrYS6uLdM50dSdZBmbgGUbjH3YYNFI4ks_aem_AWS5yd9MFeDXrro5y2d7309D57hRPWB5m92XXcLJ1MJCBvYiUkONIXq_B509DIA1BG4ke_Qe596YS4vfkIYy3J-J

Together, we can support people in their fight against MND.

‘How far will you go in 251 minutes?’ is the challenge that's been set for The Great MND Relay this year and I’m taking it on! I’m committing to go as far as possible on April 27th for the 251 Victorians diagnosed with MND in the past year. Please support me to help raise awareness and funds...

Thanks to the amazing who drew this simply incredible picture of our Abby. This was gifted to my husband Chris for Christmas. The photo of Naomi’s work does not do it justice. In person it’s even more incredible.

I'm going to tell you a story.
This is Toby. He is 9 years old. His human went into hospital to die. Toby was collected and placed in the Pound. Blind.
I was asked last week if we could take on Toby but we were already taking on Dot and Frankie. I couldn't stop thinking of him.
And so I rang Kristal at New Beginnings.
You know what she said?
"Leave it with me."
The next thing later that night I got a photo of Toby in a loungeroom. Kristal had driven all the way to the Pound and picked him up, and took him home.
I felt such relief Toby was safe, but guilt that I asked her if she could help when I know she is overloaded. We are ALL overloaded.
So Toby is a sweet soul. He needs eye drops - and needs a dental and to be desexed etc.
But how can I help him now?
Well I want to do two things.
If you want to offer Toby a home for life, please go to the RWL website at www.rescuedwithlove.org and fill out the adoption form and submit it. I will send it on to Kristal.
I've just texted some of my art to Kristal to see what she would like - and I will donate it to raise funds for his vet work.
I'm working on a really sad case at the moment, and not having much luck. But I thought if I post this it might make a difference to Toby.
Thanks everyone.
Much love

In October of this year, Chris and i made the decision to let our beautiful old girl Abby (aka The Shab, Shabdog, Scabby, Shablene) cross over the rainbow bridge. Abby was riddled with pain and her quality of life drastically decreased as a result. She gave us 16.5 years of love and so many memories.

We reached out to local photographer Paige Lee Photography - Aus who came and spent a few hours with us at our house and the Pearcedale “Paw”dock to take some "family photos" It proved incredibly difficult to get photos with 4 dogs together and 2 people. We managed alot of with 3, but getting Willow, our crazy Springer Spaniel to sit still a miracle. Anyway we have hundreds of photos from the day, but this is probably my favourite! Thanks Paige Lee Photography - Aus
