🐾 A THANK YOU FROM RIP & SCOUT We walked. You donated. Scout screamed. Rip judged. It was beautiful. Hi. It’s us. 🐕 Rip (the emotionally stable one) 🐕‍🦺 Scout (the reason we can’t have nice things) We just wanted to say a massive tail-wagging THANK YOU to everyone who joined, walked, donated, cheered us on, or simply liked a photo of us looking majestic in Queenstown. Because of you, we’ve walked hundreds of kilometers, raised awareness for the incredible work of @guidedogsnz - Guide Dogs NZ, and almost working towards our goal of raising $3,000 - join us at our pack walk or donate via the link — 💛 But we’re not quite there yet... This is your final chance to help us cross the finish line and support dogs who go on to change lives—dogs like us, but with real jobs.

And every treat is appreciated. (Especially by Rip. He’s snack-motivated.) — Thank you for being part of our pack. Now let’s finish strong—because if Scout has to run one more kilometre, she might physically explode. With muddy paws and full hearts, Rip & Scout (Team PC Retreats: Professional Walkers.

🐾 SCOUT’S 3-DAY QUEENSTOWN ITINERARY: CHAOS, HEIGHTS & PERSONAL VENDETTAS For thrill-seekers, fast-walkers, and anyone who thinks relaxing is a scam. — 💥 DAY 1: LAUNCH INTO THE SKY 6:00am:I BARKED AT A CLOUD. THE DAY BEGINS. Morning: 🎈 HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE - Auntie floated gently over the Queenstown basin while I sprinted below barking “LAND AND FIGHT ME.” She said it was peaceful. I say suspicious. Midday: 🚁 Helicopter Flight + Glacier Landing - Auntie flew to a mountaintop. I was left behind with Rip who just stared at a wall. She said it was magical. I shed a single tear out of jealousy. Afternoon: 🚴‍♀️ Queenstown Trail E-bike Tour - I ran beside a moving bicycle like a tiny legend. Tried to herd a jogger. — 🏞️ DAY 2: A MILFORD SCANDAL + SCENIC REVENGE Morning: 🚐 Auntie left for Milford Sound. Guess who’s not allowed? Me. ME. THE NERVE. So instead… I did this: 🌲 Ben Lomond Saddle Hike- BIG hike. BIG views. Ran up the trail, beat two humans to the top. Ate a stick in celebration. Afternoon: 🍦 Ice cream reward from Patagonia- Rip got one lick. I got five. Who’s winning now, Milford? — 🚀 DAY 3: FLIGHT, FURY & FINAL FLOP Morning: 🪂 Paragliding from Bob’s Peak - Auntie ran off a mountain again. I greeted her at the bottom with high-pitched applause (barking). Midday: 🌉 Kawarau Bungy Spectator Mission – watch people bungy, wasn’t allowed to jump. Was allowed to bark in support, took this very seriously. Afternoon: 🚵‍♂️ Skyline Gondola & MTB trail chase - Auntie rode. I ran the lower trail and barked at gravity. Evening: 🛏️ Final night at our PC Retreats home. I curled up next to the fire with muddy paws, wild dreams — 📣 Wanna live the Scout Life? Book your stay at PC Retreats before the end of winter!

🐾 Rip’s Property Review: Viscount Lane Yes, I’ve stayed there. No, you can’t have my spot by the fire. Hi. It’s Rip again 🐶 Apparently I’m now a real estate influencer. Add it to the résumé. Let me tell you about Viscount Lane - our dog-friendly PC Retreats property in Queenstown. I stayed there. It was... acceptable. Actually, it was spectacular, but I have a reputation to maintain. Here’s what you need to know: 🏞️ Big views. Huge. You can see forever. Excellent for long, broody stares into the distance. 🔥 Fireplace. The good kind. Toasty. I claimed it immediately. Auntie had to sit on the floor. 🛏️ Sleeps 6 humans + 1 Very Important Dog (me). 🌿 Not fully fenced, so if you’ve got a runner (Scout), maybe don’t let them off lead after 5pm when the rabbits come out. Learned that the hard way. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and designed for people who like luxury and muddy paw prints. If you’re walking for Pawgust, recovering from Pawgust, or just need a break - book it. Just don’t sit in my spot by the fire. I will stare. #ViscountLane #DogApproved #PCretreatsPack #LuxuryWithPaws #QueenstownStays #GuideDogsNZ #RipSleepsHereNow

🐾 Team Update – From Rip (Your Reluctant Leader) Status: Walking. Mildly annoyed. Still handsome. Hi. It’s Rip. Red Heeler. PC Retreats Wellness Manager. Local icon. I thought I’d give you an update, since no one else around here seems capable of sitting still long enough to type. 🐾 So far, the team has racked up a solid 68 kilometres. 🐶 Scout claims she’s walked double because “zoomies count.” They don’t. I checked. 📸 We’ve had some amazing entries in the #PCPawsOnTour comp. Some of them are even in focus. Impressive. Fundraising is ticking along nicely—thank you to everyone who’s donated, joined the team, or simply liked a photo of me. I deserve it. Auntie says we’re “on track,” which I assume means I get a treat later. It better be chicken. — Still time to: 👟 Join the team 💸 Donate to Guide Dogs NZ @guidedogspawgust 📸 Enter the photo comp 🧠 Tell Scout to sit still for 3 consecutive seconds (you will fail) Link’s in bio. Thanks for following along. I’ll keep walking if you keep supporting. Also if someone throws a tennis ball. #TeamRip #PawgustUpdate #ReluctantlyInCharge #PCretreatsPack #GuideDogsNZ #BallFirstQuestionsLater

🦮 How Guide Dogs Change Lives (Not just cute. Life-changing.) At PC Retreats, we’re walking for more than just wagging tails. We’re walking for independence, dignity, and freedom- the kind that a guide dog can bring to someone living with vision loss. Through the incredible work of Blind Low Vision NZ, people who are blind, deafblind, or have low vision are empowered to live full, independent lives- at every stage, and on their terms. From mobility training and life skills to help with education, work, and staying socially connected, the support they offer is tailored, compassionate, and 100% free to those who need it. And guide dogs? They’re more than helpers. They’re companions. Confidence-builders. Silent, four-pawed superheroes. Every step we walk (and every dollar we raise) helps fund these essential services—and brings a life-changing guide dog one step closer to someone who needs them. 🐾 Help us support this incredible mission. Donate, join our team, or just share this post. It all matters. #GuideDogsNZ #Pawgust2025 #IndependenceWithPaws #BlindLowVisionNZ #PCretreatsPack #EveryStepCounts

🐶📣A Message from Rip (Red Heeler, Professional Overachiever) Join my team. Or don’t. But like... maybe do. Hi. I’m Rip. Wellness Manager at PC Retreats. Ball chaser. Currently walking 250km this month for something called Pawgust to raise $3,000 for Guide Dogs NZ. Why? Because Auntie said if I don’t contribute to society, I don’t get holiday privileges or premium treats. So here I am. Putting in the work. But I shouldn’t have to do this alone. Join my team. No experience required. No leash necessary. Just a willingness to walk a little, raise a little, and support some incredible dogs learning to become guide dogs. 👟 Walk at your own pace 🐶 Dog optional 💸 Fundraising encouraged, but moral support also accepted Scout is already trying to recruit people by yelling at ducks and strangers. I’m trying to keep this professional. Click the link in bio. Let’s walk some steps, raise some money, and get me back to my regular schedule of naps and ball-chasing. –Rip (Doing this against my will, but doing it well) #JoinRip #PCretreatsPack #GuideDogsNZ #Pawgust2025 #IWalkSoIGetSnacks

🦮 Did You Know? It costs over $50,000 to breed, raise, and train just one guide dog. Yep. You read that right. Fifty. Thousand. Dollars. (That’s a lot of biscuits.) These incredible dogs don’t just help people get around, they give them freedom, safety, and independence every single day. That’s why we’re walking 250km this month for @guidedogspawgust to help fund the training of these life-changing pups. Every dollar counts. Every step we take (and every time Scout loses her mind at a butterfly) brings us closer to our goal of raising $3,000 for Guide Dogs NZ. 🐾 Help us change a life - one paw at a time. Donate, share, or join our team if you’re feeling brave. (Rip is watching.) Link in Bio to donate #GuideDogsNZ #Pawgust2025 #OnePawAtATime #DoggosWithJobs #PCRetreatsPack

Meet Scout – Wellness Assistant in Training 📍Queenstown | ⚡ 3 brain cells, all racing | 💥 Chaos Coordinator I’m Scout! I’m a Blue Heeler! I’m FAST! I’m FUN! I’m LOUD! Did someone say walkies?! DID SOMEONE SAY BALL?! I’m the little sister. The intern. The one with big main character energy and zero chill. I love to bark at wind, push Rip’s buttons, and run laps for absolutely no reason. They say I’m “in training” but honestly, I think I’m training them - to keep up with me. I’m helping with this big Pawgust thing where we’re walking 250km (WHAAAT!) to raise money for guide dogs and I am VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. Rip says I’m “a lot.” I say he’s boring. Together? Unstoppable. Queenstown is my kingdom and I intend to sniff all of it. @guidedogspawgust #TeamScout #ChaosWithACause #QueenstownQueen #ZoomiesForCharity

Meet Rip – PC Retreats Wellness Manager 📍Queenstown | 🎾 Ball Addict | 🐇 Rabbit Hunter (aspirational) | 🐶 Emotionally Reserved Hi. I’m Rip. Red Heeler. Emotional Support Dog. Ball enthusiast. Currently being blackmailed into 250km of walking for @guidedogspawgust so I don’t lose access to snacks. I like tennis balls more than most people. I’m loyal to my team, especially the boss lady (Auntie, aka my life manager), and I’m here to make sure things stay calm, productive, and moderately sane. Unless I see a rabbit. Then all bets are off. I’m walking for guide dogs this month, raising $3,000 with my sister Scout (she’s like living with a leaf blower).

Right from the offset your host provided all the details making it super easy for us, and walking into the warm welcoming, clean and stunning location was absolute bliss, not to mention the amazing views of the lake and the mountains! Homestead Retreat was the perfect location for us, to unwind, relax and enjoy each other’s company.
