Doggone it

Let me introduce our friend, the Colonel. You can't tell very well here, since this photo shows more of his personality than him, per se, but he looks just like Buffalo Bill. At least that is what people from Wyoming say. People from Kentucky say the resemblance is more along the lines of Colonel Sanders. Either way, his signature begins with Col.

Colonel has been staying here with us for a few months between jobs. He has been a great hand around the ranch, especially with Jack recovering from his surgery. He and Jack worked together on the Wagon Train a few years ago and he's come every Spring and Fall since.

This morning was his last here and he was determined to get a picture with his Santa hat on Mater (yellow lab - more, tomes, in fact, to come about him) for a picture. You can see how well that went. Anything soft placed anywhere near the muzzle of this yellow fellow instantly becomes a tug of war toy.

That's Sluggo, the wonder Corgi in the foreground. He may get a mention or two later on here as well.

By the way, I had to ask.

"Colonel, did that trim start out white?"

"No," he said. "That's the best fake mink I could find!"
