The Hall of State Outing

On Saturday, April 14, 2012, our NTX puppy group had an outing to the Hall of State at Fair Park in Dallas, Texas.  It was a warm, blustery, cloudy day, so it was a great day to be inside.  While inside we experienced slick marble floors, a wooden stage, ramps, a carpeted auditorium, sets of stairs (3 steps and 20 steps), open hand rails on stairs, large open rooms that echo, statues, elevators and lifts that a person in a wheelchair would use.   I think that the pups enjoyed laying on the cool marble floors the best.  Please enjoy the pictures from our morning at The Hall of State.  A big thanks to the Hall of State (Billy B. and Tom H.) for having us visit.  Thanks to Leslie C. for running our lift!  Until next time, we wish you well and we will post again soon!  Be on the lookout for updates from Puppy Kindergarden!

What  a great sign!  While driving in the Tampa area in Florida, this sign was seen.  I think this is why we puppy raisers raise our pups...to bring hope.  Welcome to the North Texas Puppy Raiser Blog!
