All is well back at the rescue. We sure miss all of the animals though! Here are some photos from this past weekend. Looks like everyone is getting their winter coats- Daisy is looking fuzzy!
Oscar Meyer has been digging around in his straw...
Apache gets some attention...
Charlie and Latigo by the feedroom...
NASDAQ and the Byrds...
Salsa is "Parellied" by Dave- obviously the tarp is not a problem for him!
We left the hotel early this morning for the two hour drive to today's event.
I did a little back seat driving...
But, I kept a wary eye on Sally. She tried to look innocent as she read the newspaper, but I knew better. We arrived at the Cheltenham Literary Festival- a Book Fair! This is a very important book event for authors to come and speak to reading fans. It has been held for the last 70 years and goes on for two weeks. Today was the last day and Tony was the big attraction. Cheltenham is what is called a "Regency Town" and is in Gloucestershire. Blimey, it's hard to pronounce these names!
Still worried about Sally and her careless ways, I wanted to stick close to Jill.
I hung out and watched the photographs go nuts on Tony. Keep the distance there buddy! I helped with the autographs...Tony even signed a car that was used in the television show, The Presuaders. Roger Moore had also signed it. Then Tony gave a talk about his life in the movies and then answered questions from the audience. it was a sold out crowd of 1000! I waited backstage as Sally was sitting in the front row in the audience...
There she is. How did she get the job of helping Tony with signing books? Be careful you don't drop the books!
Since my job was being done by "you know who", I visited with some long time fans from Germany...
Back in the dressing room, Sally showed her narcissistic side...
Then she tried to tempt me with wine! Sally you are incorrigible ! I may not have had my chance at revenge today, but tomorrow is another day! I heard my girls are planning a visit to The Tower of London, perhaps I will find my chance there...
Yes, that is it, now all I need to do is wait and watch for my opportunity... I'll stay close to Jill for now...
It was a great success today, Tony signed over 500 books. Tomorrow it's radio and then another book signing.
After an exhausting red eye flight from New York to London, I was beat. I was jet-lagged and really wanted to stay in the hotel room and get some sleep- but the girls made me go with them to help Tony sign some special books. These books are Limited Edition copies that are sold for more money and each one is hand signed by Tony. There are 1000 books total, I helped Tony sign 478 of them in an hour.
Here is the first stack...
keep up the good work Tony!
Yes, yes, that looks good.
At one point, I was helping Sally get the books ready. She was not paying attention to me as usual...
Sally, I'm slipping you cheeky little woman!
Help me! Do Something!
Aughh!!!
I just laid there on the floor. How embaressing. Thanks for nothing, Sally. Later, I soaked in a hot bath. The girls showed me this cool little bath tub just for me...
Tomorrow, it's off to a Book Fair outside of London. I'll show Sally, she better have eyes in the back of her head...
First of all- Back at Shiloh! Harlow's Haflinger colt arrived from finally PA! Look at how cute he is! His mane and tail are so curly. We have named him Crusoe...
______________________________________________________ Meanwhile, back In New York...
Our last day in the city, tonight we wing our way to jolly old London. I was feeling quite miffed that I was the only one who did not get a new hat yesterday, so the girls got me a special style that is perfect for New York!
I just love this style. It looks great on me...
Another long day of television interviews, TC did news segments for stations all across the country.
During a break in the filming, we caught up on the news...
After all the work, we headed out to The Museum of Natural Historywhere there was a special exhibit called "The Horse". It told the story of the horse all through history, it was so neat! I learned alot about my species and our evolution. Pictures were not allowed, so I stayed in Jill's bag. It's amazing that my girls come all the way across the country, and still look for horse things to do!
I did meet some girls at the Museum Gift Shop. "Hey Girls!"
This beautiful sorrel caught my eye. But she hadn't really ever been out of the shop and traveled like me, so we did not have too much in common...
Our tour continues in London. I'll be blogging from across the pond in no time. Cheerio Chaps!
An early morning, we had a full schedule ahead of us.
It was so early that the streets were empty...
I gave the driver directions to our first stop, The Today Show...
I watched Tony talk to Matt Lauer.
Here is Tony with his mom when he was little. What a cute little sailor suit Tony!
Next stop, Access Hollywood.
Getting ready for the interview...
After that, on to The View! Tony talked with all the girls before the show. Here he is with Whoopi!
It was a full audience...
Even "The Big Boss" made an appearance!
After our work was done, Tony showed us where he grew up in the city.
Tony and his family lived in this tenement building for a while. On the second floor right above the red awning. Tony and his younger brother, Julius, lived in this building, when it used as an orphanage. His parents could not afford to take care of the boys, so they were placed here for a period of time.
Later, we shopped the streets. The girls bought me this great t-shirt.
Here the girls are embarrassing me again, as usual...
I tried to get them arrested by one of the city's finest, but he wouldn't do it. Maybe next time...
Then it was back to the hotel for a good dinner and, finally, a full night's sleep. Tomorrow it's more interviews. Watch for us on "Fox and Friends" on Fox News.
All is good, everyone is fine. Elisa, AKA Officer Jim Dangle, is trying to keep everyone in line. Good Luck with that!
Some good news: Former Shiloh Horse, Wichita and her owner Erin, placed third in their first Hunter Jumper Show. They rode both on the flat and over fences. Great job guys, all of us at Shiloh are proud of you!
