Do you see your pup as a possession or a furry fam Do you see your pup as a possession or a furry family member? I've heard it said, a good friend listens to your adventures, a best friend makes them with you. Maybe there is someone who comes to mind when you hear that, for me it's my eight year old Swiss Shepherd Mya. We have covered thousands of miles together. Travelling from one side of the world to the other. She pushed me to try new things that we could do together. And she was there by my side through the highs and the lows. People often comment on the bond Mya and I share. They say we are lucky to have each other. I say we are simply family and treat each other no different to how any family member should be treated. Do you agree? I'd like to show people how many of us consider our pup's family members and not property. If you agree, leave a comment with your furry family member's name and lets try and change attitudes together. Please share and inspire others. If you'd like to watch the full film about our story, you can check it out at the @topdogfilmfestival. Be sure to tag someone you'd like to take along. Hobart, TAS - 26th September Avoca Beach, NSW - 16th October Newcastle, NSW - 17th October Adelaide, SA - 24th October Victorian dates are still yet to be announced due to COVID restrictions. New Zealand and Germany dates are now available www.topdogfilmfestival.com Belgium and UK dates to be announced. #NoPawGetsLeftBehind
Now might not be the time for travelling in Victor Now might not be the time for travelling in Victoria, but whilst we are in lockdown, it's the perfect time to dream and plan our next adventure. One of the best winter experiences Mya and I have shared, was our first six months in North America, exploring British Columbia. We relaxed in hot springs, went skiing, snowboarding, ice climbing, fat biking, snow shoeing, snow mobiling, heli skiing and ice skating. Sharing what we have learnt, to help others is what our social media has always been about. We have put together our ultimate winter road trip of Western Canada, covering 15 of our favourite destinations across 2300 km. You might even get to see the northern lights. We've posted it as a route on Road Trips by @TomTomDrivers. You can check it out by swiping up in our stories or highlights. Have you taken a road trip throughout Canada? Have you seen an aurora before? Do you have any favourite moments of when Mya and I were travelling through Canada? Do you have any questions about the route we posted? When is your favorite time to take a road trip, Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall? @TomTomDrivers #RoadTripsByTomTom #TomTomDrivers #AfterCovid19 #NoPawGetsLeftBehind #Sponsored
A big happy birthday to this special girl. No it' A big happy birthday to this special girl. No it's not Mya's birthday again, today is her human mum's birthday. She is so caring and supportive and it's clear how much Mya and her love each other. I try to give her as much privacy as I can, but Mya and I wanted to let everyone know how much she means to us. #HappyBirthday #FurFamily #NoPawGetsLeftBehind
R U OK? It's been tough of late, but sometimes it R U OK? It's been tough of late, but sometimes it's nice to simply know that someone cares. Sometimes it's nice just to have someone ask. Sometimes it's nice to get a smile or a hug. Things have been crazy over the past few months. People in Melbourne have been locked in their homes since July and only have four permitted reasons to leave. People have lost loved ones, people have lost businesses and people have also lost dreams and hope. It's also OK to say that your not OK, and to have others help. I've certainly had times in my past, when I have needed help. There are many people willing to help. Beyone Blue 1300224636 Life Line Australia 131114 Hang in there and try to check in with your loved ones to see if they are ok. #RUOK #DogLove #NoPawGetsLeftBehind
Happy Father's Day It's going to be a tough day f Happy Father's Day It's going to be a tough day for many who can't see family members because of lockdowns. I guess what's important is telling those who matter to you, that you love them. I hope regardless of how you say it, you get to share that with them.
We are still in stage 4 lockdown (likely for anoth We are still in stage 4 lockdown (likely for another 3 weeks), and whilst things have been improving, it's still not yet the time for travel. This week I start a months leave (sadly once this leave is booked, I cant change it), it was meant to be so that Mya and I could go on a road trip to Cape York, Queensland (the most northern point of Australia); that won't be happening. Sadly the impacts of what is happening go well beyond our little trip. Whilst I won't deminish the seriousness of health issues surrounding this (I know several people who have tragically lost loved ones to this virus), I do feel that Australia needs to find a better balance to it's response. And whilst I might not agree with all the decisions that have been made, all I can do is follow the rules and encourage others to do so, so that hopefully we can all get to the other side of this sooner rather than later. How are things where you are? In the meantime I hope you enjoy this photo of Mya and I check out a frozen waterfall in British Columbia. Any idea where it might be? #NoPawGetsLeftBehind
What's your pup's favourite toy? Mya is certainly What's your pup's favourite toy? Mya is certainly a spoilt pup, she has tug of war toys, self interactive / thinking toys and plenty of soft toys. Her favourites would have to be her Monster, her ball and her frisbee. @PETstock_Australia #PETstockAustralia
Last night I watched Lady and the Tramp and was re Last night I watched Lady and the Tramp and was really moved. Whilst there was a happy ending, it was so sad seeing Tramp get abandoned by his first family. Have you seen the 2019 Disney live action film? When I choose to bring Mya into my life, I made a commitment to her for the rest of her life. The commitment to take care of her, and give her as good a life as possible. There isn't an easy out clause, and there shouldn't be one. Whilst I've done alot for Mya, she has given far more back to me and I'm so grateful. I hope people remember this, when they choose to take on the responsibility of bringing an animal into their family. @rspca_vic #NoPawGetsLeftBehind
Have you ever done something that seemed perfectly Have you ever done something that seemed perfectly fine at the time, but with more knowledge you wouldn't do the same thing? Back in 2018, Mya and I visited Maligne Canyon within Japser National Park. I absolutely loved the fact that she was able to join me, with the only restriction being that she needed to be on a leash. It's an absolutely stunning place and I highly recommend checking it out of your in the area. At the time the the surface was frozen water, which was certainly melting and I was very careful where we stepped. I also made sure that we didn't step under any overhanging ice. Twelve months later, I participated in an introductory course to ice climbing (check out @he_loves_adventure if you'd like to see the photos), in hindsight I feel I was way to close to the overhanging ice and really should have had a helmet on, whilst we were in the canyon. If you're not experienced going into slot canyons, or aware of the dangers present in areas of ice climbing, I highly recommend signing upto one of the guided tours of the canyon. Thankfully it all worked out well in the end, but we were lucky. Have you ever been to Jasper? Is it on your bucketlist one day? #NoPawGetsLeftBehind
These little sled dogs need some help. Whilst the These little sled dogs need some help. Whilst they were adorable mischief makers 2 years ago, they are all grown up now and a part of Brett and Neisha's team. The couple have 45 dogs, most of which are Siberian huskies they rescued and rehomed from around the country. Sadly they have had a terrible year with the bush fires and now COVID19. With Mt Buller now shut because of COVID, they are trying to find a new local property to rent, that will allow them to keep their pups together. If you know of anywhere that's available, you can contact them at @australiansleddogs Do you have any memories of when your pup was this age?
