It was with tears of joy and gratitude that we stopped on the Trans Canada Highway to take the following photo:
Woohoo! We spent our first (and only) Manitoba night nestled delightfully at Chris's good friend's parents' farm just outside Winnipeg. It was animals galore - between the Great Dane, the two cats, the horses and the alpacas, we were in cute, fuzzy heaven. Also, gigantic piles of dung alert.
Rose, who plays a large animal vet in the show and yet is actually terribly allergic to nature and most animals, decided to try a little method acting with Sequoia here:
Chris made a new friend who likes to chew on things, like his shorts:
And Chris also thanked Chairman Meow for allowing us to use his name in our show:
And then the knitter in Rose coveted the hilarious prize alpacas. We didn't take them with us, but only because Chris said they wouldn't fit in El Trucko.
The kickin' farm in Winnipeg was our last stop before hittin' Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the site of our next Fringe! Saskatoon - there's a reason they call it the "Paris of the Prairies". We're about to find out.
Slurpee count = 63
OH Yeeeeeaaaaah!!
Is Chris okay? It looks like Kitty Kruger was about to unload on his ass.
Man, I want one of those alpacas, just for a laugh every day. They are so cute!! Do you think we could fit one in the back seat of the Benz? If we got it a little drunk first, maybe? I did get Amos in there, after all.

Yeah, that is a pretty scary photo of the Chairman. Chris SEEMS okay - but he does seem to be hissing and licking himself more . . . as for the alpacas, we could TOTALLY get one into the backseat! But then what would we do? Make out with it?

roro, how long has it been since you saw your wife?? Then again, those animals do have awfully cute mouths.

Oh, Syd ... it has been far too long. I'm starting to think "Damn, she she *totally* bring one of those alpacas with her when she gets to BC!"
