A Christmas window in Gert’s local shopping centre. Absolute proof that we have very big dogs in Australia.

Just can’t resist putting up this picture of an Australian Kelpie going about its business with aplomb. If you click on the picture you’ll see it’s dozing off. All in a day’s work…

The Running of the Wieners

Pamplona has the Running of the Bulls, Melbourne has the Running of the Wieners. Yesterday, September 19th, saw the inaugural Running of the Wieners in central Melbourne, with more than 50 dachsunds, some dressed as dressed as ballerinas, bikies and surf lifesavers, competing for the title of fastest sausage dog. And, unlike Pamplona, no testosterone-charged youths leapt out to outrun the dachsies and there were no fatalities. Just as much fun as Melbourne’s other major sporting event, the Formula 1 Grand Prix but much cheaper, quieter and far less smelly. As with the Grand Prix, hotels will be booked out well in advance for the event next year, so get in now with your bookings. And if you have a dachsund, get him in training.

Enough to make a German Shepherd laugh

 

A trainer of German Shepherd puppies once told us that the German Shepherd is such an intelligent dog that it likes to have something to think about if you leave it alone for any length of time.
