#1 -  A year ago dad posted a list of BRT characteristics, number 23 was "You will never go to the bathroom alone again,".  Here is what that means.

"Take your time, I'm on watch mom."

#2 - When we were downtown, after the dog park, we met Amanda & Gretchen, from Chicago.  Amanda had grown up with a Bouvier and really enjoyed meeting Ms. Poppy.

Gretchen & Amanda

Ms Poppy was a great breed ambassador yesterday.

After the Animal Expo mom & dad took us for a walk downtown, where they were going to get lunch.  As usual we went by La Torres to get our cookies, then it was on to Amelia Fine Jewelry, to get a cookie from Gigi or John.

After several stops to accept complements and adoration we were finally in the home stretch, between 3rd & 4th streets.  Dad and I had gotten a little ahead of mom and Poppy.  When we got to the corner of 4th we waited, and waited and waited.  Looking back mom and Poppy were talking with someone, on the patio, at Amelia Tavern Restaurant & Brewpub, the new brew pub that had replaced O'Kane's.

We waited a little more then finally went see what was keeping Ms. Poppy.  She had met a couple who had previously owned two Bouv's and they were in love with her.  Until I arrived and the gentleman fell in love with me.  Mom and dad gave them my story (an ABRL rescue that turned out to be a Black Russian Terrier).  They discussed how to get in touch with Terry Minda, Valkin Bouvier, Red Square BRTs in Florida, Midnight Rider BRTs in Alabama and BRT Rescue.  I also invited them to join Black Russian Terrier on FB, while Ms. Poppy encouraged them to join Bouvier Des Flandres Appreciation & BOUVIER DES FLANDRES : Too Precious to Be Neglected


We went on to see Jay & Annette at 4th Street Deli, their curbside tables were all occupied, so we checked the back patio.  There was already a couple and their dad, with three dogs.  They invited us to join them, there was room at the table.  Mom shared a little of her corned beef and pastrami with us, dad ate all of his.



By the time we got home and dad PM Nancy (Valkin Bouvier) on FB they had already been in touch.

Hopefully both a  Bouv & a BRT will be getting a new loving home.

Animal Expo 2017

At Animal Expo I met Rylie, who was helping out at the Pooch Pantry table.  She wanted a picture of herself with Ms. Poppy and me.  Here you are Rylie.

Slo-mo of me at Dog Park today.

This one emphasizes my gait, at the end I am doing my "fun police" routine, barking with my ball in my mouth.  PS: I told dad to hold the camera correctly this time so you get full frame view.
