    NOR IS IT WORKING FOR ME.

    No video shown....it says it is processing. It actually does put a smile on my face because so much bad news can get one down. Good news is no news, or is it the other way around?

    Its still processing apparently... whatever that means... If it doesn't load soon, I'll re-post it.

    As I watched the two arrows pointing toward each other...always pursuing...never catching each other...it made me think how typical this is....of all the dreams we chase but never catch.....and then.....I realized what HilmGuss and gentjim meant.....the video was not working.......I .....Will....check back later.......Golden Ruler....Will.......

    it worked for me.
    and it truly did make me smile.
    and it made me tear up a bit too.
    i'm a "dog gone" sentimentalist.

    Thank you Onechance, what a great post. That dog "Skidboot" is a keeper for sure.

    Thank you....Onechance......this really hit me like a ton of bricks......my icon is a picture of my friend Andy......I was priviledged to know him for twelve years......he was an angel wrapped in black and white fur.....people use to tell me....nothing is black and white.....I always said....Andy is......Andy went blind and deaf and I made one of the hardest decisions ever to put him to sleep.....that was May 21...2007.....I miss him so much...he went with me everywhere I could take him....if I was away from him for even a short time....he would always grab a rock and come running up....drop it on my shoe......I have placed beautiful rocks on his grave everyday and Will continue......unconditional Love......there is nothing like it...........Golden Ruler.......Will..............

    I love me some "Texas Country Reporter". You picked a classic, onechance. You can catch the series on PBS Houston on Saturday evenings. Thanks OC.

    I've met David and Skidboot. I've trained dogs for 35 years. There is nothing amazing about Skidboot, he is very well trained, but he and David work at it a lot. There is nothing that Skidboot does that any dog cann't do. The amazing one is David. He is a natural alpha. Calm, patient, able to communicate with Skidboot in his own language. Skidboot is a very good working dog, but completely typical of a good working dog. He lives and breaths to please David. That is his greatest joy in life. If Skidboot died while doing a performance, he'd have a smile on his face. But then, he is JUST a dog.

    The problem with the world is, there are so many people who don't have a clue how God blessed the world when he made, JUST a dog. I have two German Shepherds, Dixie and Riga........they talk to me all the time. They go everywhere, and do everything with me.

    That's made my Tuesday. I just finally gave in to my dopey little moggie kitten, sure there's no way he's anywhere near as smart as Skidboot, but he sure has given me the best of companionship there is around.

    It was so nice to hear howhe got and kept little Skidboot too, I wish him a long healthy life.

    Agreed Steadward, this made my day! Skidboot is amazing - what a beautiful partnership of love and understanding. This is what it's all about.

    Thank you onechance. Amazing the connection a person can have with JUST a dog.
    The video made me miss my long gone Susie.

    onechance I love this story! Animals are our refuge and our teachers. Thank you for this wonderful example of love and devotion - we all could use a little more of both.

    take a look at this -it's too much!

    I'm touched. The man truly is alma. One reader said it's not the dog. I agree, it's the trainer. You have to give the dog some credit for intelligence though. Some dogs just aren't as smart and no matter what the training will still try to run through a chainlink fence while chasing after a rabbit.
