Happy 4th of July

This is directly from an email by Axel's mom:

"Your grandson is famous!! We went to the St. Peter parade with Axel in tow. Al Franken was walking with the Tim Walz campaign, and spotted our young pup. He walked right up and said "What a beautiful dog." Then he got right down and gave Axel a big smooch, and Axel smooched back Franken said "Axel is just about the cutest thing he'd ever seen." Lizzy would be so proud:) Our little fur ball, kissed by a future US Senator--or at a minimum a cast member of Saturday Night Live. Mike says Axel is good enough, smart enough, and people like him."

Unfortunately no photos of this event.


**************** SCOUT ****************
I also heard that Scout (the pup formerly known as Fanny) had a great 4th. She basically slept while her yellow lab sister went crazy. Scout weighed in at 43# yesterday when she was spayed. She loves the water and playing with "Maggie," her yellow sister.
