This morning I'm featuring Athens, GA. I'm going on a field trip this morning to Athens with Braden and Dalton's kindergarten class to see "Horton Hears a Who" and I thought that the dawgs around Athens would be a good topic.
Athens is a great college town, known for the University of Georgia and their team, the Georgia Bulldogs. Athens is about a 20-30 minute drive from Monroe.
All around the city of Athens you can find 36 of these adorable Dawg statues painted by local artists. My children always love finding each dawg as we drive or walk around Athens. This outdoor art exhibit was created by The Athens-Oconee Junior Womens Club and you can read more about it HERE
Let me see, Georgia Bulldogs....they are almost as good as the Florida Gators right? LOL. I like the way this one is painted.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dawg. I checked out the website and it's astounding how different these same bulldogs can look. Do take more photos.
ReplyDeleteLove the dawg. So does the Georgia side of my family.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a no-nonsense kind of facial expression!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture today, I love that statue!
ReplyDeleteToday I'm saying a huge big thank you for the support shown by CDP bloggers.
That is AWESOME. Is it kind of like the Cow Parade.. but with Bulldogs? Do they sell mini-statue versions?
ReplyDeleteI don't really like bulldogs very much ... by the way: what is a DAWG??? Is it a slang way to calla DOG? (forgive me, but sometimes reading and writing in English becomes hard!!!)
ReplyDeleteSyraight away I thought of our British Bulldog. It's fine image you've snapped. Made me laugh beacuse he looks so grumnpy
ReplyDeletesurprenant, surtout avec cette couronne de césar. très amusante.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, especially with the crown of Caesar. very fun.

ReplyDeleteit looks rather like one on UK TV that features in an advert for car insurance.
That dog looks very bad-tempered. I wouldn't like to be his enemy.
