Ok, so normally I don't like to brag about who all loves our Frenchies but when I meet John Schneider said he didn't care if I did share about his visit with us I was thrilled. Who doesn't remember John as Bo in the Dukes of Hazard? In addition my brother followed his music career and I loved him in his recent movie October Baby. If you didn't see that please do!!

John was looking for a nice Frenchie as a gift for his wife Elly. I had a few in mind for him but John fell head over heels for our beautiful brindle boy Toby.

John asked that we help with the surprise by not publishing anything until after he had a chance to give Toby to Elly so we kept quite until he gave me the go ahead to share. Those of you that "really know me" know that I was counting down the days to hear from Elly and what she thought about her new baby!

Happily she loves him to pieces. Got a really cute Christmas picture with the family and of Toby meeting their other dog Fairlight. I'm not sure what Fairlight thought of the new addition but the videos John sent me of the two of them together are priceless!

We have many famous Frenchies and several that I've had to sign "non-disclosure" statements for (so not fun...but I am happy to do so). Anyway, the fact that I'm a huge fan of John Schneider and his work that getting to meet him in person when he came here to meet us and pick up Toby was very exciting. He was telling us about his concerts at Renfro Valley, which is by us. My brother Martin was a big fan of his music and he remembers those days too!

Anyway, we wlcome John, Elly and their family into our BlueGrass family and we hope that they will continue our BlueGrass tradition and send pictures of Toby and stay in touch!
