Walking to the Nittany Lion Shrine

When I first asked Bruno to walk up to the Nittany Lion Shrine at PSU, Bruno was not so sure. He did an army crawl over to it, lowering his head as far as it could go and still be walking. Bruno is not usually afraid of anything. He had me wondering what was up, when Sara pointed out I was asking him to walk up to a huge cat that was in a pounce stance. Bruno won't even go near our five-pound cats when they are in that same stance let alone a 13-ton cat! You silly Bruno! After he smelled it he did relax.

Spending the day at PSU is enough excitement to exhaust any pup! It was so hot and this pup was so tired that he actually attempted to jump into the van by himself, knowing that cold air blows out at him on the floor. I had to quickly help his back end up as I don't think he would have quite made it. In time Spence, in time.
