We visited Minnesota primarily so that we could visit some doctors and prosthetists for Fern. While there, we visited a dog breeder and the SPAM Museum, as well as other, less quirky, attractions.
While in Minnesota, we visited another Portuguese Water Dog breeder. Linda had many dogs, mostly grown up, and many of them are championship show dogs.
This is Brownie. She has hair that's between curly and wavy and has a somewhat unusual light brown color. She also needs a haircut.
We took some time to fish at a campsite in southern Minnesota.
Not to be outdone, Fern caught a few fishies as well. All of these were extremely small and we spared their lives.
We couldn't resist a visit to the SPAM museum. Austin is the home of Hormel, the maker of SPAM and other fine meat and meat-like products.
Fern and I competed in the SPAM game, answering SPAM trivia questions. The museum was extremely well designed, with a strong SPAM sense of humor throughout. It was both educational and amusing.
