Trivia

Pub trivia is a funny thing – the pubs endorse it because it is way of getting in punters (the pub we go to also allows dogs) – I am not entirely sure why we enjoy it. Maybe it is about winning! Well tonight we didn’t – we came second and even then it was a matter of tossing a coin because we had tied in points with another team. But perhaps in this case the whole thing is actually about community – the pub’s locals and the also the feeling of being in a team. Our team name always includes my name – I am the team mascot but also the final arbiter when it comes to multiple choice. And certainly there are regulars every week - they all know me and I have my favorites as well. BUT I won’t really be able to contribute to the trivia contest until there is a lowering of the seating! I have to sit on laps to follow what is going on – it is all tall tables and stools! – why can’t they lower the tables so I can see? Is it really too much to ask? I am the shortest dog in the pub – the grey hound has no such problems – but it also seems to me that all the other dogs don’t mind if they are not involved. However, I do want to be involved! Yes, I love my team – but I also want them to respect my input – they need me!

I also include a picture with the trivia host Jeffrey – see really it is all about the people!
