Just look at the first cat's expression - what is Sara doing behing his back?? :eek: By the happy look on the last one, I think she's giving him scritchies, and she has it down to perfection. :D

Great pictures!

The lion is part of the Wittelsbach arms - and yes it is the same story aas with cows etc. and started in 2005.

Shops can buy a lion and have it painted. The sausage lion belongs to a meet chain, the beer lion to a Bavarian pub, the wine lion to another restaurant - and he was Sara's best friend immediately ;)

They had the same thing going on with bee hives around the town where Eddie lives. You bought the undone thing and painted or decorated it like you wanted and it was a contest. It was amazing how peoples minds saw them different and did the things they did with them.... I LOVE CATS so I like the cat ones better!

I got to touch their noses when I was in Munich on the 21st :D They are pretty neat, each very different in colouring.

Fort Wayne did the same thing, but with mastadons! (Remains have been found in the area, and the Mastadon is the mascot of Indiana/Purdue Fort Wayne College.) Artsist painted them and they were displayed all aorund town all summer. Sadly, the first week that they were on display, some vandals ripped off the tusk of one. So the artist made a huige bandaid and put it over the area. He also made a huge "Get Well Card" and attached it to the mastadon! It was sad, but adorable. In the fall, there was a huge auction, and the proceeds went to our local United Way! I loved that since I work for a United Way partner agency! :D

That explains it! When I saw the mastadons in Fort Wayne last summer I wondered how they were chosen!
