My dog can bark like a Congressman, fetch like an aide, beg like a press secretary, and play dead like a receptionist when the phone rings.Gerold Solomon, US Congressman
Once again a call went out to all hash members to
gather at Clear Mountain. The hares listed the safety requirements for
this gentle walk and run, walking sticks, two days water supply (for the easy
walk) GPS, search and rescue dogs (4 dogs answered the call, and a ball of fluff). The Channel 7 Rescue Chopper was on
standby.
We all set off into the forest, (a head count was needed).
The run was a good run, even if it was set with invisible flour but Charcoal did make up for it
with his frothy milk Black Adder Style.
[What follows is an account of a hash hound disgracing himself. The hash horrors have voted.. and George the grunter is George No. 1 and this concerns George No.2 - are you with me so far, thought not - we'll just blame the whole thing on LeW*nk - I blame the parents quite honestly]
B &W kept the runners entertained with his
mid run pirouette with dog, (the group gave him a ten out of ten).
One of the search and rescue dogs George No 2 had to take flight
and help to round up some poor small dogs (Chihuahua-rat like things) which he did
with ease. Why the owners of the rats didn’t appreciate the efforts of
the highly trained search and rescue dog was beyond us all….it may have been
because George No. 2 was not actually supposed to follow the rats into the
human house at high speed. The runners group took great delight in the
spectacle of George No. 2 looping the lounge room chasing the rats and then
being hauled outside by the scruff of the neck by rats' owner (rubber thong in
the other hand noted). LeW*nk retrieved his dog and both scarpered away
with tails between their legs.
And all this under the watchful gaze of two visiting Dog Trainers from Japan
The On-On featured delicious pasta and meatballs. Great hash run and walk Charcoal and Strine!
There was talk of setting up a Samford bike hash (once a
month) Amazing floated this idea with some of the other hashers last week,
format is roughly worked out, once a month, meeting Sunday morning or Saturday
afternoon (or combinations of both so long as it doesn’t detract from the
Sunday afternoon hash walks), easy rides, mainly flat to start, meeting at
different points etc, followed by morning or afternoon tea at a coffee shop in
the vicinity of the ride. Tentitive start date Saturday afternoon 9th November in the city. Who is keen?
The red dress run is scheduled for Monday December 9th.
