There is no gift like the love of a pet

I give you: Skidboot the wonder dog

"The puppy, which was half Australian blue heeler and half chef's surprise, initially was unruly, with neighbors complaining that he was chasing livestock and pets."--from Dallas News article




Sadly, Skidboot passed away last year.

I didn't expect to spend 9 minutes watching some TV news magazine, but I did. That was cool.

:) I'm glad. Such an amazing dog, and if you read between the lines of his lineage (pun not intended), he came from a throwaway litter. Texans take their cattle dogs very seriously, and Skidboot's mother was a valuable bitch.
