Re: Our Great WOOF Community
I’ve enjoyed the discussion on this thread talking about some old history. Been interesting reading particularly for the more younger woofers like myself. Great response to the poll. Another 35 votes to hit 100 responses.
Go Dogs!

It was easy enough to say 'no' back then and it was pretty much impossible to prove. I reckon it was about $35 a week. We moved to North st in Footscray (in 1989) after that in to a three bedroom house for $40 a week. At Footscray we had an inside bathroom (Luxury!) but still had an outside toilet.
Outside dunny bad news if you had dogs and went at night in the dark, barefoot or slippers. We had two woolfhounds...(Northcote).

Re: Our Great WOOF Community
Thinking about to 2016 GF day. It was just fantastic to be amongst my fellow Bulldog supporters in the stands Level 4 at the MCG and the the celebrations the next day at Whitten Oval in Footscray 30K strong crowd celebrating our premiership - will never forget that! We all were at the time are ‘we really premiers’ and we were really premiers. Would love to do that all again soon!

We had a German Shepherd called Girley but the stupid thing only ever got excited when she saw a plastic shopping bag! If we ook her for a walk and she saw a plastic shopping bag she'd break her leash and go for it followed by us all running after her yelling "no Girley!!!!"
The worst thing about going to the dunny in the dark in barefoot were the pumpkin plants and the spikes and thorns.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Our Great WOOF Community
From the Sutton Medal tonight Ameet Baines said his kid and Steven King kid are like one of 5 Bulldogs supporters at their school in the eastern suburbs.
We recently had footy colours Day I wonder the Bulldog representation now at all the schools.

My school is in the SE Suburbs. We recently had footy colours day, I reckon there were about 4 or 5 kids in Dogs colours. That's out of over 1100 kids.
