We had over 30C, a barbie and were chatting along.
With the neighbourhood kids playing in the garden it was like being in a village and, well...
Ingo told me how - in the village he grew up in (and where my Bro lives now) - his Dad was calling desperately for their dog to come back, her name was Hilde, a boxer.
He was yelling at some point, unaware of the newly widowed neighbour named the same also.
"Hilde, come BACK!... Hilde, STOP!!!!, Hilde come here NOW!!!" ... and that poor woman, who wasn´t that well with walking anymore, boy, she tried to get away from him asap!!!
It even became pub-talk and in the end FIL went over, explained and said he´s sorry.
Oh, that poor woman, huh?!
I remember when I lived with Ingo and his Granma (next village) I was waiting outside for my Mum to pick me up and a woman stood on the sidewalk shouting "Taxi!!!.... Taxi!!!".
Yep, I was tempted to tell her this ain´t New York but then... a dog showed up, his name was Taxi.
Choose your dog´s name wisely, right? ;-)
Oh, nearly forgot:
"Büssing AG was a German bus and truck manufacturer, established in 1903 by Heinrich Büssing (1843–1929) in Braunschweig. It quickly evolved to one of the largest European producers, whose utility vehicles with the Brunswick Lion emblem were widely distributed, especially from the 1930s onwards. The company was taken over by MAN AG in 1971." (Wikipedia).

That's a great story! No wonder it was good pub talk! We have friends with a dog named Taxi. Never thought about that -- I guess because we don't have taxis here unless you phone one!
The link sign up for Paris in July's first week is now active, so be sure to visit Tamara's Thyme for Tea and link your Paris post there!
Oh, so that´s quite a common name for dogs? Funny! Yes, here you phone them, too, or go to a taxi-stand.
Yep, I did participate :-)
Never heard of a dog named Taxi. Funny story with the poor woman and your father in law.
A friend of mine has two dogs with people's names too (Portuguese ones) and it sounds strange when she calls them, but then she treats them as if they are her kids.
I like bubbles.
Coffee is on
It´s sometimes funny what stories life offers :-)
People´s names must be confusing, too!
Oh that's funny Iris, I can just imagine Ingo shouting out and the old dear getting a wee bit anxious 😀😀 it seems dog's names are getting as weird as babies names these days 😀
