This July, my hooman and I are walking for Sick Kids
My Hooman and I are walking for Sick Kids!
My Hooman and I are taking part in PAWS for Sick Kids this July to support seriously ill and injured children and their families.
For sick kids staying at Ronald McDonald House in Randwick, they just want their families close as they battle childhood diseases, illnesses and injuries.
On average, it costs $160 to support a sick child and their family for one night at the House so that families can stay for FREE and focus on what is most important, their sick child
Please support me and help keep families together as they face the most difficult journey of their lives.
Together, we can show these brave and courageous kids that we're fighting for them.
Thank you.

The meaning of our names!!!
Saturday 6th Jul Hi everyone,Firstly thankyou for the support so far....
Cerberus and Wraith thought you might be interested in knowing the origins of their names.
The word "Cerberus" has its origins in Greek mythology. Cerberus is a monstrous three-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld, preventing the dead from leaving and the living from entering. The name "Cerberus" is derived from the Greek word "Kerberos" (Κέρβερος), which may have its roots in the Sanskrit word "karbarah," meaning "spotted."
In Greek mythology, Cerberus is often depicted as a fierce and terrifying creature with multiple heads, a serpent's tail, and a mane made of snakes. He is the offspring of Echidna, a half-woman, half-serpent monster, and Typhon, a monstrous giant. Cerberus is most famously known for being subdued by the hero Heracles (Hercules in Roman mythology) as one of his Twelve Labors.
Cerberus plays a significant role in various myths and stories related to the underworld and the afterlife in Greek mythology. The image of Cerberus as a formidable guardian of the realm of the dead has endured in popular culture, where he is often referenced as a symbol of vigilance and protection.
And Wraith....
The word "wraith" has its roots in Scottish and English folklore and has been used to describe various supernatural or ghostly entities. The term "wraith" is derived from the Old English word "wrǣþþu," meaning "vengeance" or "anger." Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to refer to a ghost or spirit, particularly one that is seen shortly before or after a person's death.
In folklore and mythology, a wraith is often depicted as the spirit or ghost of a person who has died, appearing as a shadowy or insubstantial figure. Wraiths are commonly believed to be harbingers of death or omens of misfortune. They are sometimes associated with unfinished business or unresolved emotions that tie them to the world of the living.
The concept of wraiths has been popularized in literature, particularly in works of gothic fiction and fantasy. Wraiths are often portrayed as eerie and malevolent entities, haunting the living or seeking retribution for past wrongs.
In modern usage, the term "wraith" is still used to refer to a ghostly apparition or specter, evoking a sense of mystery, fear, and the supernatural. The word has become a staple in paranormal fiction, horror stories, and popular culture, where it is often associated with otherworldly beings and the mysteries of the afterlife.
I hope this helps you understand them a little better from this but if you have a question for either of them to answer please feel free to contact me.

Walk as one, and we’ll never walk alone. Great initiative in supporting such an important need for the families of these kids. Thankfully we’ve not needed their services YET 🤗
