Rufnit Kennels Braque du Bourbonnais' version of "Where's Waldo."
Bali, Valencia and Vurhi cooling off after field work. "Do we HAVE to get out?"
"Hey guys, I'm still in here!!" "Vurhi, Mom said we have to get out!!"
"Just a few more minutes.....PLEASE!?!?"
Trying to get Bali, Valencia and Vurhi out of the tank after field work, proves to be a challenge!!
