Doc and Wyatt want to thank you for your generous donations! THANK you so much Everyone. We hope you enjoyed their little adventure and hope that you will join us again next year.  Your donations are going to help Buddies Thru Bullies find loving homes for bulldogs in their care.

NOW, Doc and Wyatt decided to do this a little different this year. Both tired from their journey they let their little brother James do the drawings. This is why we are a little late on announcing the names. It took James a couple days to actually draw the names!.. BUT FINALLY last night and again this morning we got him to drag off some tags!

AND First up - For the pet portrait is :
CAROLE BAKKE Congratulations Carole!...

Kennedy Space Center - FLORIDA!!!

Well, THANK you everyone we reached our goal and made it to Florida!

You can still make a pledge that will go 100% to Bulldog rescue for one more day.  

We thought we would stop by the Kennedy Space station.  We have hopes that they will let us do some traveling.  Our reasoning?  Well, Mom sent us a photo of our new baby sister that she adopted from a rescue while we've been gone.  I tell you what do you think of her?  We think she may be from another planet and well, that is why we are here.  We want to see if maybe we can find out how to fly one of these things!

Ft Benning Georgia

We made it to Georgia and felt it would be a really neat thing to stop at Ft Benning Military training base to see where our Human Dad trained to be a Army Ranger some 20 years ago!.
Fort Benning was established is 1918 and is named for Major General Henry L. Benning. Known as the "Home of the Infantry," the installation spreads over 182,000 acres and is home to the U.S. Army Infantry Training Brigade, U.S. Infantry School, Ranger Training Brigade, Airborne School, and School of the Americas.

Raindance Farms Wisconsin

Well, We are in Wisconsin and still quite a ways away from Florida..BUT, we only have $90.00 more dollars to reach the fundable minimum. We would like to go higher as ALL of the money raised is going to Buddies Thru Bullies Bulldog rescue.!

We just had to take a stop at Raindance Farms to visit little Layla. We've heard so much about her from our Mom - "Shes so cute, shes so dainty and perfect, shes beautiful - BLAH BLAH BLAH"

"Hey Doc, Dont you think she looks like she is related to us?"
"Ya, but lets get a movin on outa here before she steps on us with those fancy little feet, I hear she's quite a little pistol!"

Raindance Farms is the home of WindChill Legacy which is very dear to our Moms heart. She is even going to be taking a separate road trip next month to come visit here!
See WindChills Story here: TheWindChillLegacy.org
His story is a tragic one that brought so many hearts together pulling for his determination to live. Left un attended with no food in freezing temperatures he was rescued and showed love by Jeff and Kathi Tucker as well as his entire care team.. His story was watched by thousands World wide as he stood for the first time again and started to gain weight. Unfortunately the damage had already been done and his organs could not hold up to his huge spirit.. Since his loss Raindance Farms has experienced the blessing of Layla pictured with us and also the birth of Isabelle. Sadly Isabelle suffered from hypothyroidism and was put down after five glorious days of being loved not only by everyone at Raindance but also by 100's of people watching her on the cam. Her tragedy as well will be researched and not lost without purpose.

Some of you may know this fellow! Well, He came to live with us thanks to Buddies Thru Bullies last year. AND his name is Buddy...
Now, Mom keeps him away from us because my brother Doc likes to chew on his nose. But isn't he just beautiful!...AS promised last year he is joining us on our journey. Mom said he could as long as we don't pick on him. He's pretty quite but like us enjoys attention, a good meal and of course lots of sleep!
Please welcome Buddy to our travels!

Loyalty

Here we are in Montana and LOADS to see..We found this incredible statue with such a story that we just had to share.  Its in Fort Benton Montana - Heres his story:

 OLD SHEP

In Aug 1936, an ill sheepherder was hospitalized in Fort Benton, MT.  His faithful companion an old shepherd dog waited patiently outside the hospital.  

The man died and his family decided to ship his body back east for burial.  

The dog was lost in the crowd as they loaded the mans body onto the train.  

Shep was left behind...Old Shep, patiently and methodically held a vigil to insure reunion with his ownder.  For FIVE years he waited at the train station meeting each train and all passengers as they returned.  

Sadly in old age on January 12, 1942  Shep slipped on the tracks and was killed waiting for his owner to return ...

Old Sheps story exemplifies the devotion and faithfulness of dogs everywhere.  He remains a patron saint of Loyalty, patience and friendship.

Occurring in the shadow of the Great Depression and the advent of World War II, the story took an added significance for those who mourned the departure of loved ones and hoped for their safe return.

WOW!! Now thats a dog!

Doc and I decided to go for a little ride in the roller coaster at Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho!

It is the LARGEST theme park in the NW with more than 65 rides and attractions.  They even have a 650 foot water slide but when we called and asked Mom if we could go on it she said "NO" because we forgot to pack our life vests. So we opted for the roller coaster instead!  Doc is getting a little sick I think!
