  1. How'd they get so similar?

    The little dingo (dingo) is like a dog (little dingo)
    But it does (dingo) not have a bark (little dingo)
    The little dingo (dingo) it goes out hunting (little dingo)
    When it's night (dingo) time and it's dark

    The little dingo, (dingo) it likes to howl (little dingo)
    When the moon (dingo) is in the sky (little dingo)
    The little dingo (dingo) its ears are pointy (little dingo)
    So it can hear (dingo) what's passing by

    Walking in the morning light
    Little dingo
    Little dingo
    Little dingo
    Little dingo
    With your furry paws of white
    — The Wiggles

  2. The experts say there's no DNA evidence to prove the kelpie is part dingo — bush lore, they say — but I have a hard time believing that, just looking at Pepper.

    If anything, the dingo has a longer neck but otherwise, quite similar.

    It's best to know the truth.

  3. Good morning from Minneapolis where we begin the new week with autumn-like weather. It's a one-dog night and I don't have a dog.

    Quite early Sunday morning it's 65℉; the air is calm; a few clouds; visibility seven miles at the airport.

    Today
    Sunny, with a high near 79.

    The Minnesota State Fair starts its ten-day run on Thursday. The herding dog exhibition is next Monday morning in the horse arena. It coincides with the first of two "senior days" — your best admission value if you're old enough. Fifteen bucks at the gate.

    Every dollar you save on admission may be applied to the price of a corn dog.

    "Unearned sentiment is what I struggle with, but Dog Park skips this hurdle, like an Australian kelpie at Crufts."

  9. The Kelpies are two 30m high monumental steel horse-heads that are located near Grangemouth. The mythical creatures represent the historical role of horses on the canals in the surrounding area. This one is called Duke.

  10. Collies or kelpies: Which muster dog makes a better pet?: Collies and kelpies are beloved working dogs and pets, but each has very different personality and behavioural traits. This is what to keep in mind about whether one would suit you and your family.  abc.net.au/news/2025-01-31/col #musterdogs #collies #kelpies

  11. This plaque tells the unusual and little known story of the industrialist Sir Tristan Farquhar and how he met his unexpected end while trying to prove that Kelpies don't exist. It can be found the west bank of the River Kelvin in Glasgow, on the bend just north of Kirklee Bridge.

  12. Die Kelpies kann man jetzt auch von innen erleben!

    Seit kurzem kann man die beiden Skulpturen nicht nur von innen besichtigen, sondern sogar in ihr Inneres klettern! Bis in 25 Metern Höhe kann man auf einer Art Klettertour die Geschichte und die Skulpturen auf ganz andere Weise erleben.
