MOTHERS DAY
The lessons and values a MOTHER gives are gifts to treasure always, not through word but by example.
To honour all the precious Mothers, we donned pink bows as did our doggies.
Dressed in pink and sporting a pink parasol Lucy and Misty delighted the audience and visitors, smiles and laughter showing the unconditional love that our canine companions bring as they went through their paces and after we spend a special time interacting and sharing pats and cuddles.
We were all thrilled to see Cavell enjoying Mother’s Day after a long illness, everyone has missed seeing Cavell and Frank and little Sunny Boy.
MILLION PAWS WALK
Sunday 17th May 2015 at Mt Tamborine on a lovely crisp morning, many of our Team enjoyed the 5km walk and then joined the festivities and relaxed with a wellearned
picnic lunch, what a wonderful setting with log fires burning.

CANTEEN
CanTeen is the Australian charity that works with young people living with cancer. They
run a range of day and overnight programs throughout the year for their members to
offer them some respite, provide educational workshops and to provide an opportunity
for them to meet other young people going through similar circumstances.
We were thrilled to be invited after one of these sessions to provide light hearted and fun ‘pat and play ‘ with our canine companions at Mt Tamborine , ten of us attended and what a wonderful afternoon we all had meeting and greeting these very special people.
PFT ANNUAL LUNCHEON
To celebrate our 26th year of voluntary service to the local community on the Gold Coast, held once again at Coolibah Downs on Sunday 24th May, a glorious country setting in Nerang, we could not have asked for a better day with friends, sponsors, volunteers andsuch attentive staff making the day complete. The day gives me an
opportunity to thank our wonderful volunteers, loyal supporters and sponsors for their
never ending support over many years and welcome new
supporters.
We were entertained by Christeen (Live Music). Frank excelled as Master of Ceremonies as always keeping the audience entertained with his quick wit, my sincere thanks Frank and to all our Volunteers for their invaluable help on the day.
This year some of our doggies showed their skills in agility and obedience. Katrina (Diversional Therapist) a loyal supporter of PFT over many years enlightened
the audience as to the value and need of Diversional Therapy in the facilities on the Gold Coast.
