Viennese Dogs and Schanigartens
Springtime in Vienna


Early Morning Annagasse

This lovely dog came along so suddenly,
I barely managed to capture a picture


Another sweet dog,
at Hafnersteig,
the other end of town


Early morning scene,
outdoors, in the shade,
chairs thoughtfully lined with sheepskin
to take away the chill
Café Diglas Schanigarten


Viennese Dogs
are trained to visit coffee houses
and know how to behave properly
Café Aida Schanigarten
next to St. Stephen's Square


Just like the dogs yesterday,
after a late spring, summer's sneaked up on us,
in the mid 80s in these last days of April -
I won't complain

  2. Years ago my mother returned from a trip to Germany, deeply impressed by the polite little long-haired dachshunds that waited patiently under restaurant tables.

  3. Merisi, I do like the look of those sweet, and well behaved Viennese dogs. How does one train a dog to sit quietly beside a cafe table, when that table holds a plate of delicious pastry? Do the cafes allow the dogs to place their own individual orders? xo

  8. Vienna without coffee, cafes and dogs is like Paris without the Eiffel Tower
