Sunday morning, after our river romp with our friends, all the Dog people went to a small village way out in the bush. (All dogs abandoned.)

It was a gorgeous day....warm and sunny.... so they went to a pub for lunch and sat outside.



 A few years ago the village painted murals on the buildings.  
These were on the pub.

This one is starting to peel.
 Then they moved on to a small distillery.....sort of a shed affair....to taste infused Vodkas, Rum, Whisky and Quandong (native peach) liqueur.
SHE's a wino, so only tried the liqueur...which is VERY good.

BUT, the main attraction
was this little guy.

 He welcomed everyone to HIS distillery, and kept everyone entertained.

 He was very hard to photograph....expert at dodging the camera.
There was a portrait of him.

And his name?

FRANKIE!

  1. OMD. He looks just like OUR Frankie too (just with a bit less fur)! Maybe long lost twin brothers?!

  11. That looks like a very cool place to go. Mom is a wine person too, none of that hard stuff. We wonder if THAT Frankie is a long lost cousin to Blogville's Frankie:)

  14. Wow, that has to be the perfect job, to be a Distillery Dog in charge of meet and greets. I hope some of the Dog people were able to slip him a treat or two?
    Toodle pip!

  18. Hey HER!
    Wow, looks like you had a fabulous time, even without your pooches! Those paintings are really great and I can't believe you got to see another Frankie. Did he know you call you HER or SHE and did he know Bella, Roxy and Dui? That's so fun! My peeps are drooling for that peachie drinkie. BOL

  22. A Frankie in Oz was he a Frankfurter Würstel Frankfurter Würstchen Frankfurter Rindswurst Hot dog? How cute! Now Lee says the peach liqueur sounds to her liking also. Lee is not a wino and only imbibes on very special occasions.
    We love the murals and a small village out in the bush sounds like something we would love to do.
    Thanks for being a friend

  23. What a cutie. We used to go to a winery that had a really fat Corgi who greeted everyone. We think a few too many people slipped him treats.
