On our walk the other day I was trotting the path along investigating things that needed it and minding my own business when there and behold there blocking my way was a penguin(Spheniscus magellanicus to those of who know)!
It was a bit embarrassing really as I was not sure what to do
He seemed to be doing his morning exercises or just trying to impress me!
I am sure a Basset could do that with some practice

Finally I did manage to squeeze past trying not to disturb him. (It is a pity that he did not afford me the same courtesy).
I think I shall stick to the hills from now on. Plenty of space and no irritating birds who think they are fish!

By the way contrary to popular beliefs penguins can fly!

Welcome back GJ!!
HM would fear for the safety of any penguin I encountered - I hear they don't fly when chased :)

Glad you are back!
Wow, a penguin ! Sure would never run into one of those around here.
Please could you tell us why there has been no news of General Jackson since April? We always look forward to see what he has been doing.

How neat! You got to see a penguin? Wow!
I just found your blog over at Spencer's place and I really like it.
We have a Bassett in our family too and he is often featured on our blog. Stop by for a visit sometime!
Great blog!
Wow - bumping into a penguin whilst out on a walk would be SO cool! Love your blog General, we're going to become regular readers. Tailwags - JD and Max.
Hello, General! We enjoy your blog--especially the pictures--and tagged you for an award.
Cheers!

Keep an eye on those penguins, General; remember Feathers McGraw!
