Vonne must not chase penguins
Here’s an email I just got from my new friend Wonne asking about penguins. Wonne, Mum says a penguin looks kinda like a cross between a cat and a bird, but you’ll get into much more trouble chasing one.
Hi Bacchus (woof-woof-woof…woof-woof-woof-woof),
Say thank you to Dey for putting up my photo - it’s quite a good likeness. I’ve been reading about your other pals. Unlike some of them I am what you might call an “outdoor dog”, which means that there are certain armchairs that I am not allowed to sleep on!
Yeah, Jude and Keith left me at home the other weekend when they went cycling. It wasn’t too bad because I got to play with Kim ALL Saturday afternoon. Kim is OK, but she is a bit puppyish (she is only 9 months old). Anyway we were both absolutely whacked by Saturday night. Then on Sunday Kim’s folks took us both to something that they call “Disobedience”. It’s fun though. We all meet in a park (about 40 of us - all GSD’s) and there are trainers who help us to train our owners. Poor dears, they’d be quite hopeless without some help.
I think I’ve cured Jude and Keith of leaving me when they go away because next weekend is their 30th wedding anniversay. They’re going to Phillip Island (wherever that is) for the weekend, AND I’M GOING!! Keith says I must not, on any account, chase any penguins. Bacchus, what is a penguin?
Love,
Wonne
