Guido and me out for a walk |
Dachel Parade
Recently
I enjoyed a day dog-sitting for Guido, the dachshund.
He
spent the day at my flat and after an hour or so sulking about not being able
to go out for the day with his family he settled in with just me for company. I
enjoyed not being alone and I think he
did too. I also enjoyed having to go out
for walks during the day even though we did get drenched in a summer downpour.

In
Nürnberg that same weekend the city had been celebrating its twin cities and on
Sunday it was the turn of Kraków, Poland.
The celebrations took place in the Tucherschloß where there was dancing and
feasting and at 3 o’clock the judging of 130 dachshund dogs from the region
took place. With Guido’s family home again we were out in force to show him off
at number 111!

The Dachshund Parade
began in the market square and foollowing a man in a traditional horse costume wound
its way up the hill to the Tucherschloß.

This is
the first time that Nürnberg has re-enacted the parade that has been an annual
event in Krachów for many years now.

I had
not previously known that there are so many different types of dachshund, I
like the Guido-type best of all!
