Whose handsome mug is in a magazine this month? None other than me, Nelson! Our family loves sniffing and we have really enjoyed sniffing at the Commemorative Air Force museum. This is a photo of me with an old jeep and a trailor with a few bombs on it. They have so many cool things at this place!
Madison was the first to trial here back in 2021 before I was even born. She had a great time and did really well. There was even a hide on a bomb in one of her searches! Of course, the bombs are not active. During trials, you are not allowed to take photos, so we don’t have photos of her sniffing. Olivia has also searched there twice, once for her vehicle title and the other time for a sniff and go.
I searched there for the first time in 2023 when I was a year old. We attended a sniff and go, so Mom could take photos of me in searches and walking around the hangar area. Someone was writing an article on dogs sniffing and the Commemorative Air Force Museum and needed photos for the article. This year it rained, so no new photos and it is why some of the dogs in the article are in the rain. Of course, Mom had a couple shots of me with old aircraft on a sunny day. He wrote a wonderful article which is in the Minnesota Flyer Magazine this month.
I’m so happy and excited to have my handsome mug in print for the first time. We sure hope we get another opportunity to practice some fun sniffing there again next year!
My GBGV Life is happy, so we’re joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!

You are truly famous now, Nelson, and what great photos!
It is such a fun place to see and search, and I’m honored to have my mug in the article.
Wow, you’re famous! Of course, you were famous to us even before you were a “magazine mug”. PS, we enjoyed the article and seeing all the other sniffing-puppers hard at work. It’s important stuff they do, paws up to all (and you as well, Nelson!)
Mom says that Olivia and I are really good sniffers but she still isn’t sure she would want us to sniff out explosives as we might miss one. I guess those dogs can only be wrong once. Our sniffing is much more fun.
oh wow!! how supergreat is that… now we know a reasl celebrity… and your area has now two… prince and nelson…
Funny how I am named after Prince 🙂 Prince Rogers Nelson but Mom only wanted the Nelson part.
That’s so exciting. Your look so cool.
I’m a super cool, chill, kind of guy. No matter where I go people tell me how handsome and proud I am, which is true I guess, but it is how I am.
That is super cool Nelson but we knew all along that you were famous, now everyone else will know too!
It’s hard to compete with all these sisters but I try to squeeze in.
Nelson is most famous. All your babies are such talented pups.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to all the pups and a hug to mom. ♥
Our late sister Emma was in Target ads, so we will always think of her as the most famous, but we each do our own famous stuff.
Nelson WOW x 100 WOW finally your handsomeNESS has been recognized what a fine Mug you have too
Hugs Cecilia
Sometimes it is a good thing to have a mom who is constantly taking photos. We are so used to it, we barely notice but when someone needs a photo, they get a hold of our mom. She has one for sure.
wow! Nelson ~ Bravo to you for getting famous and having your photo on cover of a magazine ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

It is the first page of the article and the big silver plane is a super famous airplane.
Congratulations and happy sniffing!
Thank you. Sniffing always makes me happy.
What a grand photo of you and that airplane! Sounds like a fascinating place to do lots of sniffing.
It is good for so many reasons. That is a very famous airplane too. She was in the first attack of Japan in WW2.
Very nice picture, congratulations!
Thank you.
that is just wonderful Nelson! You are a celebrity!
I am so far behind reading your blog (and some others) I will be catching up this week!
Also belated birthday wishes to Madison and your Mom!!!
Oh my, you are way behind! Those birthdays seem like a lifetime ago. The blog isn’t going anywhere, so read when you have the time and desire.
Congratulations Nelson!! You do lool handsome in front of that airplane!
xoxo,
Rosy & Sunny
Maybe I should look into being a pilot or a dog working at the airport? Mom probably would say no, though. She doesn’t really fly anymore, too many hours of that in her past I think.
You are a handsome dude
Thank you.
HOW exciting!!! a published photo for the “flying ace.” Sky’s the limit for you buddy!!!
I’m excited to have my mug in a magazine 🙂
Way to go, Nelson…you’re a famous celeb now!
Finally my mug is in print!
