  5. TLC Illustrated:
    Two days in a row with grey skies,
    only about around five a few sun rays made it through the cloud cover. I cannot imagine no blue skies through the long winter.

  6. PS
    I tried to put Maxie (may I call him that?) on my desktop so I could look at him whenever...
    But I gotta say you can do a better photo.
    I'm losing his nose and getting a lot of polution.
    Hmmm..
    Do I have to COME to Vienne to get you to show us Maxie?
    If you had said you had a Maxie I would have come in an instant.
    I love ze doggies...

  9. I can just feel and smell the Autumn air. Great pics as usual.

    Beautiful markings on your dog.

    Enjoyed the Danube pics. Crossed over that once on way from Austria to Checloslovakia (sp?) as it was then.

    Empty tab les - looks like everyone has gone home.

  10. Does Max ever "accidentally" fall into the river?
    My dogs "accidentally" walk into mud puddles and then "accidentally" roll around in them.
    Good to hear, he is no sissy and doesn't wear little snow booties!
