What is the use of running when you are on the wrong road?
—Bavarian Proverb
No worries, though—my name is Lederhosen Pug, and I know the way (知道).
And the Way to May for Bavarian pugs since the sixteenth century has been the Maypole.
Our Bavarian pug village puts ours up on April 30, so we can enjoy it thoroughly all day on May 1 and beyond.

| [b] Maypole dreams RF |
Our Bavarian pug village puts ours up on April 30, so we can enjoy it thoroughly all day on May 1 and beyond.
And you have not lived until you have seen all of the pugs dancing around the Maypole.
The procession into town every year is also a sight to see. We take these matters very seriously, and some people even say that the Maypole is a kind of "yellow pages" for the town, with all of the pug-artisans advertising their trades and skills on and around the pole.
For that, and for many other reasons—here and in many parts of Bavaria—we keep our Maypoles up all year 'round. We don't take 'em down at the end of the month, like some of our less serious neighbors.
Maibaum Pug.
