They know me in Nashville

Mom and day were returning from vacation, notice they left me at home, changing planes in Nashville when another passenger in the gate area asked about me.  Fred had meet me on the beach when he was vacationing in Fernandina.

He just rescued a German Shepard, thank for the rescue.

Fred, if you check in, here is the Sports Illustrated article on Bouv's dad talked about:

NOBODY TOUCHES ME WITH IMPUNITY -- 1971 Article about Bouv's from Sports Illustrated

That is the warning, in Latin, that is posted over Robert Abady's kennel. It refers to the fierce Bouvier des Flandres guard dogs he raises, but the motto might well be Abady's own.


This is a long article about Robert Abady and his Bouv's.  The article is available at Sports Illustrated archives.

Cal Sent This Picture

Cal met me outside of my favorite yogurt shop, Island Time, they have a special dog size cup and a sugar free yogurt.

New Fan Pic

Hugh sent me this picture.

Mom bought me a soccer ball.

I had fun playing with it, for a while.

Here is a photo of my friend Blitz.

Met 5 people who knew what a Bouv is!

One had owned three, another's parents owned one.  One gentleman owned 4 Morgan Sports Cars and a Bouv, talk about great taste.

For those who don't know, here is a Morgan.

Dad and Uncle Jerry both owned Morgans.

Amelia Island Home & Patio Show

I stopped by the Home & Patio show and met Arlene Rowland Scot, of Rowland's Upholstery Plus.

Nice meeting you Arlene.

More Fan Photos

The Spera Girls sent me this photo, taken in front of La Torres, right after Steve had given me a treat.  You can see a little of Luke (a white boxer friend), just behind me to the right.  He is Steve's dog and spends his days in the shop.

Stop by and visit Steve, Luke and Xena, tell them Espy sent you.  If you are traveling with a canine friend ask for a biscuit.

PS:  Here is a picture of Luke, with Steve, from the link above:

Stopped Traffic Today

Stopped traffic downtown, one car the driver had owned three Bouv's and wanted to show the passenger what a Bouv look like.  The second pulled over and Nancy had her picture taken with me.  Nancy had also owned a Bouv.

Nancy and Espy

Nancy e-mailed me the picture that Dad took, using her cell phone.  Thanks Nancy.

Hopefully they will send me the picture

After lunch at Pepper's, yesterday, we were walking back to the truck when we met a large group of Spanish speaking young ladies.  They all gathered around me for a picture, I hope that they e-mail me a copy so that I can add it to the blog.

Great Evening Downtown

Went downtown for Sound on Centre, Faces For Radio was a great band.  Met up with my friend Geogia (a rescue from Georgia) and her parents, plus Sullivan's mother.  We all went to the Green Turtle, then on to Arte Pizza.

Mom an Dad were proud of the way I handled the crowd and noise.

This morning Dad replied to a Post on Trip Advisor's discussion board re: Is Fernandina Pet Friendly.  The answer was YES.

Met another blogger downtown today.

I met Matt & Pat, they are sailing on the S/V Patty D, their blog is http://svpattyd.blogspot.com.  Check them out.  Maybe we will see Matt and Pat at Sounds on Center tonight.
