Good advice Cholla, there's a lot of scam websites out there.

Our boy and my little companion was a rescue dog I got in Phoenix 6 weeks before my retirement. When I got Buster, he was 2 weeks from being put down, he was malnourished, very sick with kennel cough and he had fleas. In the 6 weeks I had him before I retired, I spent over $1000 in vet bills bringing him back to health and his healthy weight of 20 pounds. Buster was a Dorkie, a Yorkshire Terrier/ Dachshund mix, he was 5 years old when I rescued him and I didn't want to know what his life was like before I came along. I was told he did not like men which he proved to be wrong immediately when I first got to hold him, he gave me the biggest hug even in his weakened state. I retired in Chino Valley, AZ, I met Barb and he became the best little dog that Barb and I could have ever hoped for. He loved to travel and loved his walks and playtime in the park twice a day. When the weather was bad, he loved to have us throw the toy of his choosing in the house so he could bring it back. He would fetch until he was worn out. During the nine years we were blessed with his companionship we spent over $5000 keeping him healthy with his medical and dental checkups, but his old age finally took its toll as his body started shutting down, his weight dropped from 20 pounds to 12 pounds. Our vet told us he was letting us know it was time to let him go. It was the hardest decision we ever had to make when we took Buster to the vet for the last time, but we knew it was what was best for our 14 year old little boy. We were both with him when he crossed over the rainbow bridge his fur wet with our tears. We had 9 wonderful years with Buster, he was not our pet, he was one of the family, we still miss him, he's only been gone 5 months. His last day was October 25th, 2023, and every month on the 25th Barb and I have a glass of wine together and give a toast to Buster, gone but not forgotten and forever loved. It's true, that dogs leave paw prints on your heart. A picture of Buster is at the bottom of this posting. RIP little buddy.

Blackwater, thanks for the update on Forty, he didn't show up for Thursday morning breakfast at Zekes yesterday, as he usually does. Forty called Longshot Larry while we were all having breakfast to let us know he was in the emergency room, but that's all the information we received. Prayers are up from all of his pards who shoot with the Whiskey Row Gunslingers and the Granite Mountain Outlaws and enjoy breakfast with him at Zeke's Eatin' Place in Prescott. I know ol' Forty Rod will be up and around as soon as he is well, as he's an ornery old cuss and you can't keep a good cowboy down.

Howdy and welcome to the game. You've got a good start with firearms.

Congratulations Pard, well deserved World Champion title! -
May 6th is Alamo Day, this was the last day of battle when the brave American Patriots defending the Alamo were overran and defeated by the Mexican army commanded by General Santa Ana. 4 days prior, on May 2nd Texas declared its independence from Mexico.

Hey! I live here in the same city as Forty, and this is a bad weather place.....Really!!! Every Thursday morning I have breakfast at Zeke's with Forty and Lone Spur Jake and the weather here is the worst you could ever find here in Arizona. Please stay in your own state and let us suffer in misery!

How true "Eulogy of the Dog" is. Lost my faithful and loyal friend, Buster last October and I still miss him.
