Find your Tribe

Mr Fascinata in true Oscar Wild fashion doesn't like any club that accepts him.
But, he has made an exception.
 To be honest, he likes nothing better than to find himself at The French Bulldog Club of Queensland's
Fun Day for Frenchies.
 We joined such a day last weekend.
 Here he is (leg-wise) with our Dog of the Year.




 The humans don't do that much talking.
It is all about the Frenchies.

 There's a costume parade.
With a nod to the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie being shot in my own backyard.
Or, at least country.
We gave a nod to a pirate suit.
Full ensemble, with a hand-made tri-corn.
Raw felted wool dreadlocks included.
Complete with a sword.
Some people will never get well.
 There was also a spotty calf to compete with.



 A triceratops and a life-saver (beach patroller).
 A Mariachi and a dinosaur.

 Obedience tricks.


 Refreshments.
 Have you found your tribe lately?
Let me know about it.

Not all Glamour

If you are sick to death of large fleurs, click away now.
This post is full of it.
 But, before you think my life is one filled with fashioning frippery, remember
that in the middle of a sunny Queensland day; I am out and about
supervising all sorts of chalkface action.
Not listed in the job description.
I have spent most of my life avoiding the sun.
And here I am decked out; slip, slop and slap the sunscreen.
Supervising Ultimate Disc (no, not Frisbee).
It must be called a 'disc'.
During my weekly Sports activity.

This week I have spent most of my other bits of the life-pie fashioning fleurs.



Yellow, peacock blue, purple, red and pink.
Now in The Hat Box.


 





 This red one is my favourite.
 Can you tell?



 What are you up to?
Is there anything in your job that you didn't see in the fine-print?
Tell me.
I won't tell anyone.

Full-Scale Frippery: QLD French Bulldog Club Fun Day

 If you've got no time for nonsense today; then
click away now.
You've been warned.


 





 Frankly, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy involving Mr Fascinata in
full-scale frippery.
We now have a prize-winning French Bulldog.
Thanks to the French Bulldog Club of Queensland.
 

Today, the club held a social day for Frenchies and their owners.
And Freddy won 'Best Dressed'.
After a few red wines the night before Mr Fascinata decided, "Zorro".
It had to be.
 


Rule # 1 all dogs must remain on leads.
For the duration of the get-together.











We took a picnic brunch.
 
 The day was just lovely.
Promenading Best Dressed.
Here's the best dressed judging.
Freddo took it very seriously.


Waiting for the decision.
Playing a musical chairs type game except you had
to get a recalcitrant dog to sit.



Mr Fascinata also won the owner and Frenchie look-a-like competition, too.
I kid you not.
Hope you did something enjoyable today that made you laugh.
