Woke with a start
the train went past
never ending ages

Do you believe all barking?
I hear it in the air
Some of it is true
and some is just a dare

Clifton Beach residents petition Premier for access to area of closed beach for exercise during social isolation

The Mercury, 10 April 2020

CLIFTON Beach residents have written to the Premier asking for access to part of their popular beach as its closure had affected their ability to safely exercise while complying with social isolation rules.

Since March 29, beaches, parks and reserves run by the Parks and Wildlife Service have been closed to the public while all other council-controlled beaches remain open.

Clifton Beach resident Braye Sutherland wrote to Premier Peter Gutwein on March 31 on behalf of more than 100 residents asking for South Clifton Beach conversation area to be open to residents only for exercise.

The dog I was is gone
but the dog I am is me
and the dog I gunna be
is the one I can't see
Doggo




Is there any love greater, than the love of a dog, as if the eyes of Mother Nature were upon us, and we must surrender, or lose our heart. My dog Buster is long gone, but the love lives on .....



Lost Dog

A sunny day
the world was nice
out on the road
I rode my bike

My dog
Buster came
my friend
to play

Screech of wheels
breaking hard
hit the dog
Buster ran far

My heart screamed
to find my friend
where could he go
around what bend

The cubby was empty
by the tree
where we ran
so free

One day the rope broke
where Buster barked
but I survived
another lark

Not in the hay
bales stack
not hiding there
to pat

Great fun to play
castle of straw
kingdom of sky
dreams to draw

I walked the beach
dragged a rope
wondering where
my dog did lope

Where we frolicked
in the waves
in the sun 
we plays

I tried the dunes
a sandy hollow
he was hiding
would he follow

Tears of pain
fell like rain
and happiness
with dog again

He's OK
he can walk
so home we go
for a good long talk

Note ~   This poem explores a childhood event, when my old dog Buster was hit by a car, and I had to go searching for my friend, not knowing if he was alive, injured, or dead. Mum would always know when I was coming home, from a day up the bush playing at the cubby, because Buster would beat me home. I once put a rope on a tree in the valley there, and swung out on it. Later, on another tree, that rope broke. There were still some farmlands near our house, that were slowly being transformed into a suburb, and in summer, there would be bales of hay stacked, that we would play in. Kept in from school when little one day, two miles from home, two beaches away, I missed the school bus, started walking, and found a rope to play with on the beach of endless distractions. The family went out looking for me, when I didn't arrive home on the school bus. I was found on the beach, dragging a rope along. What was wrong? Buster was found in the sand dunes by the beach, in a wind-blown hollow of the sand. We used to talk.

Sitting on my kennel
Can I make it fly?
Deathly silent waiting
as a fly flies by.

From the land DownUnder, where dogs dig holes toward Hollywood, because down is up, a star rises ….. with a dog called ….. Wilfred …..

‘Wilfred' (Australia) : Season 1 Episode 1 - There Is A Dog (Full Episode) ~

From the land DownUnder ….. Wilfred ….. digs his way all the way up to Hollywood …..

Elijah Wood and Jason Gann on ‘Wilfred’ ~

It has been said that United States Americans and DownUnder Australians are very much alike ..... up to 80% so.

So ..... does that lower 20% also apply to dogs?

Wilfred Funnies Season 3 ~

Interestingly, the UpTop Wilfred includes some stars from ….. The Last Man on Earth …..

The Last Man on Earth ~

….. all seasons of the Last Man on Earth can be seen on SBS (Australia) ….. FREE!!! ..... with ads ~

It quite amazes me ..... that stars from the very big smash hit Lord of the Rings, and the bizarrely amazing Last Man on Earth, should cross paths with a DownUnder dog named ..... Wilfred ..... who may also be human.




I'm late today
But why am I late?
What is time?
is that a date?

If a cat could be a dog
and a dog could be a cat
could a bird become a mouse
and a horse turn into a rat?

'Watch 'Happy': the Australian version with 12 beach dogs and 1 swimming cat'
Sarah Dougherty, 2 May 2014, GlobalPost

There’s a magical stretch of coastline in Queensland, Australia where dogs can romp, splash and wag their tails off. It’s Currumbin beach on the Gold Coast and it’s where Robert Dollwet filmed this “Happy” video — featuring 12 ecstatic dogs and 1 surprisingly cool cat.
It’s basically 3 minutes of doggy heaven set to Pharrell Williams’ smash hit, and it’s where we’d like to be right now.
“How does he get those dogs to line up?” Dollwet is a professional dog trainer and the dogs belong to his clients or live on the beach. “But don’t cats hate water?” Usually. But this one — a.k.a., Didga, the surfing and skateboarding cat — apparently thinks it’s a dog. BEST CAT EVER.
