Gerald the Dog - Whately Lane / Newtown (Thu 02 Dec 2010)

Gerald the Dog - SLUG - Whateley Lane / Newtown (Thu 02 Dec 2010)

On Wed 01 Dec 2010 I published a post titled ...SUPER SONIC SLUG... where it was observed that SLUG was everywhere.

Had to go to Newtown that evening and in the drizzling rain as I drove down the dark and narrow Whateley Lane between King Street and Wilson Street, I noticed this recent piece by SLUG. Came back early the next morning and the photos below are the result.

The Story of Gerald the Dog starts here back in February 2010. I was aware of the character, but I did not know his name, Gerald, until I saw this Oct 2010 post by the Acid Midget.

Earlier in the year I had noticed quite a big piece (of Gerald) on a large roller door in Buckland Lane, Newtown. I even photographed it with my new mobile phone and it has been my phone's wallpaper ever since. He was a different dog back then. He had yellow skin and was well behaved.

To read in October 2010, the Acid Midget's posts on Gerald was quite funny and put a smile on my face, though I was sorry for the poor pooch's demise. I have always liked dogs and have always tried to be nice towards them and will always say Hello for some reason.

Since mid-October, Gerald has been popping up all over Newtown and Enmore and I have taken quite a few photos of poor old Gerald's demise. As the Acid Midget has observed, Gerald has been seriously lead astray in Newtown and his life has gone to the dogs.

Will publish some more photos over the next week or so. Stay tuned ..
