It was great! we bet on the dogs, we drank our fill of booze, we mixed it with the best of the west! While some of us broke even or (heaven forbid) came out down a bit, others were more successful....
The big winners of the night were Flit and Alex. While Flit studied the guide and drew comparisons to choose his bets, Alex went by the more traditional method of choosing his favourite name...works a charm when your girlfriend is Jenny and the dog named 'Dana Jenny' comes in 1st!
Here we see Mattes trying to work out that pesky form...
Afterwards there was much merry making and singing. We converged on the good ole faithful Friend in Hand (actually, not so faithful but still good) and took over the dukebox for an 80's feast. With Gaby and Evil at the wheel and a bunch of drunks slurring past favourites at them we were in for a treat...as was the rest of the bar. Funnily enough there were no complaints, instead we actually got everyone singing 'Eternal Flame' together....ah memories!
Unfortunately, the photos I took of Alex, burning up the floor to....NELLY!! were too blurred for posting. Suffice to say, we laughed and laughed and laughed at his apparent passion for the pop god! Who'd have thunk it?
That's the doggies for this year, perhaps our trip down there next year will be in the warmer months and I might even remember to take a photo of a REAL dog...

Hmm, big winner may be a bit of an exaggeration, I only came out near even because of a 10 to 1 outsider that Mattes pointed out to me - a very 'honest' dog.
