Re: Italian greyhounds

Possible with other stories, bu tnot with this particular one.

Right, sorry, when I mentioned it being the other way around in response to your "Again, Catt hadn't published yet, but it makes me wonder whether Büsching talked to him and that's where all this is from," the preceding sentence you had written was, "Büsching's footnote to the supposed death sentence for Fritz also contains the 'the King later looked it up at the archives, and resealed it, but did not take any revenge' tale." That's the one I was referring to with my "maybe Catt got it from Büsching" guess. We still don't know Catt's source on the archive opening, right? Though we've speculated it might have been Eichel?

Nadasty: How as I to know the Robber King is dog mad? Look, we've just lost a battle. The way this guy sounds, I wouldn't put it beneath him to go after us just to get the bloody dog back, and I'm in hot water with the Queen-Empress as it is for having to explain how we had time for a raid at the camp but not to win the battle.

Haha.

Austrian Trenck: Hey, don't look at me. You were the one who told me you forgot your wedding anniversary and could I please bring you something from the camp!

ROTFL.

(Incidentally: if Nadasty's wife was so taken by Biche, Biche, at least, can't have been a dog barking at women. Just saying.)

Maybe the dogs only bark at women in Fritz's vicinity? Maybe only because they get (perhaps unconscious) positive reinforcement for doing so? I always suspected positive reinforcement. :P

Windspiel/Windhund: actually, they're both still in use.

Oh, interesting. The internet was telling me "Windspiel" was archaic, and I figured that was why Google never once guessed that it was a dog.
