It was the least we could do for him after his long summer on dish duty.  Montreal is a little over three hours from our farm.  Rhino was game to drive up early Tuesday morning, wander the city for a day, spent the night in a hotel, and returned late the next day after more adventures. <\/p>\n<p>Here he is on first arrival, fresh and ready for lots of walking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenhopeessences.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/08\/100_2203.jpg\" height=\"576\" width=\"432\" border=\"1\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\"100_2203.JPG\" title=\"100_2203.JPG\" \/><br \/>\nHere&#8217;s Rhino on St Catherine Street leaving the three older Sheehan children to a shopping whirlwind.
