Next to come to the Paws for Poise cyber dog grooming parlour bus for pampering were the German taste tester dogs.
Caramel Cat was trying to retrieve La Souris which had escaped to avoid being dipped in the chocolate fountain and PsychoMotor Dabrowski was in hot pursuit of both of them

After such a glowing revue from Monsieur Parfait the other French taste tester dogs Papillon and French Bulldog called their friends Bichon Frise and Briard and they all enjoyed a pamper session.
Caramel Cat staged a reprise appearance as Caramel le chat- the chat cat saying
“J’aime manger les souris avec le chocolat.
J’ai l’intention de plonger les souris dans la fontaine de chocolat.”

  First to experience the treatment of the Paws for Poise Parlour was the poodle P est pour Parfait from the French taste tester team. He arrived looking immaculate, with not a hair out of place, as he had already spent the morning in a grooming parlour; so that he would be in a respectable  condition to be groomed!

He emerged looking absolutely immaculate, with not a hair out of place and wearing a diamante collar and top knot clip. He rated the experience “Magnifique!”

First to come to the Paws for Poise cyber dog grooming parlour bus were the five over excitable Dabrowski dogs.
Intellectual read the sign and appreciated the humour of the title. He speculated about the type of chemical ingredients in the shampoo and the wind strength factor of the dryers.
The mention of chemicals in the shampoo caused Sensual’s fleas to run for cover and Sensual to feel very itchy.
Imaginational imagined how happy it would make them feel to be pampered and come out sparkling clean and smelling wonderful.
And Emotional put her head back and howled for sorrow over the dogs who would never have such luxury offered to them.
Psycho Motor was off bouncing and barking at the bus hoping he could make it run so that he could see the wheels turn.

The vegetarian feast is prepared complete with chocolate fountain and delicious fruit smoothie drinks.

The cyber mobile dog grooming parlour bus Paws for Poise has arrived to give the taste tester dogs makeovers and pampering. We will keep you posted about the results!

This week the GT Stoogies will be serving a vegetarian cookery feast in the lobby and annex before and after the #gtchat sessions.

The Twitter birds have started to bring a veritable cornucopia of wonderful fresh fruit and vegetables and floral decorations from around the world to the Water Cooler of the World in readiness for the event.
Intellectual Dabrowski is anticipating interesting discussion during the gtchat sessions and also at the Vegetarian Feast and Imaginational Dabrowski is thinking that strawberries look like love hearts.

The time of the singing of birds has come. Song of Solomon 2:12

The Twitter birds joined a group of Australian birds for a sing-a-long.
Kookaburra tried hard to refrain from laughing, Wedge-tailed Eagle soared overhead seeking his next meal and the budgerigars were more interested in kissing (just a pair of lovebirds).
On the ground the Lyrebird donated  by

held a full concert of his own complete with song dance and mimicry. If you would like to see Lyrebird’s concert go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y

Here are the Australian bush animals who were gathering outside the GT Stoogies annex. The possums came out earlier than usual but platypus was too shy to put in an appearance.

In the background Yellow Dog Dingo can be seen still chasing Old Man Kangaroo through the spinifex and mulga as he was in the tale The Sing song of Old Man Kangaroo from Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling.

We returned from the Aussie Rules Football match just in time to put up the table of Down Under Delicacies – Lamingtons, Anzac biscuits, pavlova, meat pies and vegemite and some Aussie flags and posters. Outside the Australian animals and birds are gathering and the camp fire is lit for billy tea and damper. I will put up more pictures if time permits.

Intellectual and Psycho Motor Dabrowski are joining the Australian taste tester dogs Australian Cattle Dog, Kelpie, Australian Terrier and Australian Silky Terrier in a pre #gtstoogies Down-under Delicacies Feast game of Australian Rules Football. They are waiting for the first centre bounce of the ball to get the game started.
Like Jack Russell Terrier, Intellectual Dabrowski, the Border Collie, feels very much at home as, although Jack Russell Terriers and Border Collies originated in the UK, the breeds were also developed in Australia.
Psycho Motor is well accepted by the Aussie crowd because he is very active and a bit of a larrikin. He is bouncing already, hoping to take “a screamer of a speccy”, as the Aussies call leaping up to mark the ball by grabbing it in their hands.
