Gaius cost $2,500 when you bought him? I didn't know dogs sold for that much! Not that they're not worth it (whatever dollar amount he's worth now with all that training doesn't come close to what he's really worth!).

I'm definitely not a farm gal, but I'd like to visit some farms. I'd like to go to one where the animals are not killed or abused. Not sure how many kinds of farms run like that, but there are some that just take care of the animals. Like Farm Sanctuary. I'd love to "meet" some horses, donkeys, chickens, and whatever else is in residence. Maybe not a bull. They're a little scary.
