Dinner in Vienna saw us, if necessary…
…spending a penny in style…
…with raunchy retro themed décor
to keep us company.
Décor and images strictly from…
…the sixties, fifties…
…and maybe even earlier.

Word-of-Day-Minion
~~~~~~~
~~~~~
minion
a follower or underling of a powerful person,
especially a servile or unimportant one.
Labradors know very early on
that Kelpies are their minions.
I have yet to see a Kelpie recognise this simple fact
until they get a good sharp belting from
the Labrador in question.
Candi received hers while I was in hospital in October 2019.
She dragged a hind leg for around six weeks
and was subservient for several months thereafter.
However, she commenced showing signs
of forgetfulness a few months back
and began to snapping at Taji again.
It is only a mater of time before Round 2.
Really, it’s a toss up which memory is shorter.
Candi’s or a gold fish.

Ginger always moved in a sprightly manner,
so much so that we were certain she would outlive
Soxie the cat and Labrador Maggie.
Such was not to be the case.

Great!

wandering around trying to find
the items I wanted.

Ginger minding my ute
It may be too big for Ginger’s mouth

FOWChallenge-Swim
~~~~~
swim
* propel the body through water by using the limbs,
or (in the case of a fish or other aquatic animal) by
using fins, tail, or other bodily movement.
* be immersed in or covered with liquid.
****
It was difficult to tell which definition
Hippos were adhering to…
…if they were not actually swimming
they were certainly immersed in water.
These fish were a totally different story being
both immersed and swimming in,
their watery home in the lobby
of our Vancouver Island Hotel.
