Shouldn’t call politicians dogs , not nice . I’m sure many a animal dies in heat every year as do humans. Suddenly it’s in the news .
Whyalla? Bit of desert out to the west of there. Some of it treeless, definitely no water. Wonder if we could convince the owners to bury that poor little dog out there. While they're digging we'll nick off and have a wake at the Iron Knob pub. We'll pick 'em up tomorrow.
