The Manager didn’t throw me out though! (I was already outside!) They must have LEARNED a lesson or three Kids, Ice Cream, Floats, Bronco billy hobby horses don’t mix! Just hose down old Trigger and get the Nickel from the next Mom… @ the time New Yorker’s had COMMON SENSE! (Just like @ ‘Chicken Delight!’ (pre KFC) they keep the ‘VAT’ of salt behind da counter, kids would make Mountains on top of their 15 cent French Fries!)

Saddle story: I was on TDY training customs officers at Bush Int’l airport in Houston when a Canadian guy arrives from Mexico pushing a cart with a huge ceremonial saddle on it. A real attention getter. As we’re oohing and aahing over it, we ask him a few questions. “Sir, that is a beautiful saddle. What kind of horse do you ride?”
Canadian: “Oh it’s not for me, it’s for my daughter, for her birthday”
“What kind of horse does she ride then?
“Ahhh… It’s a…a…I can’t remem…I’m not sure…” Starts fidgeting.
After several more questions and evasive answers, we’re not sure it’ll even fit but let’s run it through the x-ray.
Pulling it up off the cart and setting it on the conveyor belt, this thing weighs as much as a small horse.
By now, the guy is visibly shaking. Sure enough, the saddle was packed solid with bags of cocaine.

A cowboy is captured by indians. The chief tell the cowboy they’ll grant him one request before they scalp him.
The cowboy thinks for a few seconds then says, " I wish to say goodbye to my horse then set him free." So they bring him his horse, he whispers in its ear then sends him off into the sunset.
As the sun dips below the horizon, here comes the horse, back with a beautiful brunette in the saddle.
“All right” the chief says, you’ve had your request.
“Uh, no, please” says the cowboy, “Please give me one more chance.”
" Well Ok…" says the chief, “but this is your last chance.”
The cowboy leans into his horse’s ear and hisses,
“No no no. You idiot! I said bring back Posse! Posse!”

The border collie I had tried to corral my car every time I went to leave.

They’re amazing as are dogs in general. Back in my traveling days one of my small strays of indeterminate breed would crawl in and try to hide in my sea bag when he saw me getting ready to go on a trip. He had to be pried out before I could head out the door.

New additions?
Fosters or rescues?

We’re fostering them because at their age (12+) they are not easily adoptable and the border collie rescue lady was looking to home them in a safe environment after their former parents were no longer able to care for them and they ended up in a bad situation. We’ve only had them for a couple of weeks but they are so damn lovable and easy to care for that I plan on keeping them until it’s time for them to pass on to heavenly pastures.

I remembered watching this back when it originally aired. Not shown in the video, but I remember it on the show, they took the sheep down through the lobby and the dogs got them all into a cab.

She’s cute & he’s a handsome pup.
Love Corsos and Boerboels. Mastiffs, in general, are great dogs, with the right humans of course.

I appreciate the compliment but I know of a few people who would strongly disagree. Good thing I don’t worry about what others think.
It’s a labor of love so it’s no hardship for us. Girlfriend is at the vet’s with Oscar as we speak. Both pups are at the age where they need health monitoring. I’m pushing 80 so I’m no stranger to what happens as we near the end of the trail.
If all the dogs and horses I’ve cared for over the years are waiting on the other side as some people believe, I”ll be richly rewarded.
