Wiesn warmup... with pugs?

This post will be filed under "What the heck?" - but it must be shared.

Oktoberfest is almost here!  So Müncheners are warming up by singing & dancing... with pugs?  This was a recent news video on many major German websites (Spiegel, Focus, Bild, even the Financial Times Deutschland!):

It's incredible how relaxed the dogs all are!  I know our friend A in Austin, Texas will love that video.
(The title means "Swaying Pugs in Munich".)

Next... just more cute dogs.  It's a pair of pugs, each with an Oktoberfest lebkuchen heart around the neck:

Full disclosure:  the German word "Mops" means pug.  The plural would be "Möpse"... but this is also slang for boobs.  The video's title is therefore a play on words, also referencing the effect dirndls have on womens' figures.

Each year there are new "Wiesn Hits" -- songs that become popular due to being played often in the Oktoberfest tents.  A band called Flat Out recently wrote a song based on this double entendre, called "Scharfe Möpse" (in this context, scharf means "well-defined" or "hot").  They abviously want their song to become a hit.  Perhaps this isn't so subtle, but one lady (below) was ready to dance with her pug anyway!

In the last video, a woman dressed her pug up... in a dirndl.  It's 11 seconds you won't soon forget.
