Camp dog of the week – Bung-eyed Basil

Basil is a kind and attentive host, particularly when evening scraps are his due. He might be ugly, scarred and with a bad case of bung-eye (I forgot to get some Golden Eye ointment for his conjunctivitis from the local clinic) that hopefully should be cleared up in a few days. He isn’t riddled with ticks and is obviously reasonably healthy – in mind and body. In all he is just a normal dog – except that he is (technically) homeless.

30 years of cowboy outfits in the Northern Territory – Colin Holt

Many years ago I had a T-shirt produced by local Darwin artists Chips Mackinolty and Therese Ritchie. On the front of the shirt was a woman talking to her husband about a request from their child, who was standing before them resplendent in one of those cheap cowboy outfits we all had as children. From the foggy mists of memory she was saying something along the lines of “Johnny wanted a Cowboy Outfit for Christmas. So I got him the Northern Territory Government.” Colin Holt’s show, “30 Years of Chief Ministers – the official portraits we should have had” runs from 8 July to 4 August at the Alice Springs Public Library.

Get a dog up ya – and take it to work!

Ceciia Alfonso told me that ā€œI take my dog Maliki to work every day – and I’m glad that the artists do as well. The only days that I leave Maliki at home is when he has a bad dose of the farts – they are truly horrible.”

A tribute to my “plague of beautiful camp dogs”

These dogs have been a large part of my life for the past three years – walking with them, talking to them, caring for the sick and injured, burying those stomped on by camels, kicked by bulls or bitten by snakes. I miss them terribly.

Camp Dog of the week: “Ding” the Dingo Pup

He must have been a lot more relaxed being held by me because he started eating like crazy and nearly ate my fingers as I was holding the chicken neck! He was very skinny, with bones showing through his skin and I could count all of his ribs..
