We used to stand tied to fences or corrals with our “bridles” and run around in winter pawing with our “horseshoes.” Folks would ask (and some do ask personal questions) if we ever had a BM out on the gumbo when we rode after cattle. “Of course,” one of us politely answered. “What do you wipe with way out there?” Sagebrush was the answer. “You’ll both get ‘piles...

Despite temperatures in the upper realms, the 2018 Pet Parade came in and out with only a few glitches and hitches. Most of the animal entries were panting and huffing as their handlers were sweating. Entries were down somewhat this year but considering the hot weather, there were enough hardy souls to put on a great show for an appreciative audience in the bleachers. There were some fascinating entries and a very decorative, cowboy/clown announcer, Susan Tooke, to complement...
