looks like a lot of fun!

[Taz_Zoee]

That is cool that they let Crayola go in there too. Or is he a service dog?
I love the pic of Crayola waiting patiently to get to the factory. :D

[elizabethann]

Cool. Crayola got to go in? That's awesome.

I love the photo of Crayola wondering how it would be for Crayola to be in the Crayola factory. How cute.

[Chilli]

Oh wow, what an experiance!
It can't get much better than that: Crayola in the Crayola factory!! :D
Great picture. =]

[cmayer31]

How exciting! The one with Crayola in front of the giant orange crayon is priceless!

[Alysser]

That sure looks like fun. I love the last pic of the "crayolas" :p

[chocolatepuppy]

nooo, that's not where my crayola was made from! :p

and all this time, I thought that's where Crayola came from. ;) Nice pictures Gina, very interesting. :)

[Daisy and Delilah]

I've always wondered where you got Crayola's name, Gina. That is so cool that you got to go there with him. Great pictures. He is so beautiful. You both look so cute standing next to the sign. :)

[kimlovescats]

How fun! Hey, I think you were in Catnapper's neck of the woods .... too bad you two didn't know that!

yuppie! he's my precious service dog. :D I'd really wonder if they would allow if he wasn't because of his name.. :p

daisy & delilah, you know this quote - we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to learn to live in the same box.., this world is about everything, plus how I love coloring - one of my relaxations - so he was everything to me when we first met, carefree, sweet, relaxing, loving, playful and I thought this name'd suit him perfect too. :)

kimlovescats, I know!! darrn, definitely thought of jenluckenbach and catnapper when I got there, I just didn't had time and were too sick to see anybody. we went to crayola factory before our last day there.. that was too bad!

thanks everyone, glad you all enjoyed!

[Daisy and Delilah]

That is absolutely awesome reading of how you gave him his name, Gina. I'm smiling from ear to ear :D

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

WOW! They named the factory after HIM?? Crayola must be so proud :) :D :D

[Ginger's Mom]

What great pictures. :D That looks like so much fun. I really like the picture of him smiling next to the dancing crayon. :) And, of course, it is a real treat seeing Crayola, it has been a long time since we have seen him.

[critter crazy]

Great pics Gina! Looks like tons of fun!

[Lobodeb]

Great pictures! It looks like Crayola had a big day!

Looks like you both had a great time, too.

[Kalei]

Wow that looked like alot of fun. I would love to visit the Crayola factory. And man your Crayola must be such a well behaved dog. He always sat there so nicely when you took pictures of him by things. He must know "Stay" very well. :D

I loved the pictures where he was by his own name! What made you choose the name Crayola for your doggy? Just wondering, its a very different name for the dog, but I just love it!:)

[sandragonfly]

thank you kalei! you can see why I named him crayola in my above post - #12. I'll never regret that name. :)

[BCollie_Kelly]

heyyy you were really close to us too! We live about 10-15 mins from Lafayette College.

Wish I would've known you were here, Riley and Rebel probably would've loved to have a playdate with Crayola. Next time your in town, let us know :D

& great shots too, looks like you had fun :)

[cyber-sibes]

Great pictures, Gina! Crayola looks fabulous in fron to the giant dancing crayola & the big orange one. I'll be people there were really taken with your gentle sweet boy! Give him a big hug from me, OK?

[RobiLee]

Thats so cool that you got to take Crayola to the Crayola factory. I am in love with Crayola. He is such a sweetheart.
