Animals Galore

OMD, Rudy's Raiser decided to take me on a short walkie outside... to meet some of her farm animals!
Thankfully, she took her camera out with us; so I do have a couple pictures to show you :)
I met the cutest little horse, lots and lots of goats, saw something called a "Alpaca", sniffed a rabbit, played with kitties, met the "pasture" dogs that get to stay with the goats, watched some huge horses walk past us, looked at a "llama", and I even saw some mini pigs!!
It was a whole lot of fun, I never knew my own brother (Rudy) lived on a farm! He's so lucky... I wished I had pals like that to hang out with daily. Maybe I could convince my own raiser's to buy a horse or 2??
Happy Thursday, and Rudy's Raiser told me that we may go to town today :)
Enjoy the pictures,

Al - Rudy's Brother

Note from Rudy's Raiser:
Hey guys!
I just wanted to say a quick thanks, to all who voted for Rudy at Mango Minster. Rudy did win Readers Choice, Best In Show - and it was all because of your vote!
My nosey self, went and counted all the comments/votes later on... and (if I counted them up right) Rudy won by only ONE vote. So when I said "every vote counts" I really meant it!
Thanks again,

Rudy's Raiser

Enough's about Rudy... this blog post is suppose to be about ME... enjoy the ever so cute pictures below, I do hope to show a couple more later on.

These cuties smelled REALLY good...


If you look really close, you can see 2 large horses in the background... but all those annoying goats are in the front


See how cute Flash is?? I think he's adorable, maybe Rudy's Raiser will let me in his pen next time...

Al is having some trouble figuring out this thing called a "keyboard" - but he hopes to be posting in a couple days.
(For all who missed the last posts - Rudy is attending a "puppy camp" & for the next 2 weeks, we have his brother "Big Al").
Hope you all have a great Sunday, and don't forget Rudy's "Valentine's Giveaway" is coming up tomorrow.

Go green! (and vote)

Hey guys, I am back!

My trainer told me I did VERY good, and she got yet more job offers!

Friday night the group went out to see a $1.50 movie, (Julie and Julia). My trainer had no issues with the movie theater letting me in, and I got to be bored for hours on end:)

The hotel we stayed in kept having problems with me, and my trainer's mother had even called ahead to clear any issues with a guide dog in training going!

Saturday morning, we packed up & drove to a much nicer hotel (that did not have a issue with me:), to be with all the other 4-Hers.

My trainer took many workshops, but all I got to do was lay on the ground & be quite.

There was a dance Saturday night, but my trainer & her friends stayed in the "noise-free/ quite room" (which was louder then the dance room...) and she played card games all night long!

Sunday was our last morning, my trainer's district had to come up with a skit & chant.

As for the title of this post "Go green!" that had to do with the chant.

The conference ended at 11am, and we arrived back home later that day.

Sorry, but there are no pictures with me & my trainer, she kept forgetting to ask someone to take one! So enjoy photos of me & only me!!

And please vote for me! (My trainer entered me in a "cutest dog contest" from Hallmark)- I will be doing a post later on this subject:)
