Betcha wish you was a dog now, don'tcha, hey don'tcha? I can stick my nose up all of them asses!
That reminds me of a story about our dog Captain....
Captain was a shelter dog mutt, half Dalmatian and half English Setter... He had a big black spot around his right eye that looked like an eye patch... Captain loved to ride in cars and go to car shows and was very well behaved and would not wander too far from us, and if he did he would come back when we called him... He loved to meet people and would not bite and would greet people and let them pet him...
We took Captain to Car Caft Nationals in Springfield, IL one summer and it was very hot... We walked by the Direct Connection display and Linda was there and she saw Captain panting and gave us a large paper cup to get him some water... There was GM display across the way from her with free bottled water dispensers (the Culligan type), so we got him some water and came back to thank her for the cup... There wasn't anyone else in line to see her so we talked with her for 10 - 15 minutes and asked if she was going to be at Mopar Nats in a few weeks and she was... We told her that we would see her there...
We go to Mopar Nats and see her tent with her signing autographs... There's a line of about 8 guys waiting to get her autograph... As we walk up, she sees Captain and calls his name... Captain walks by the line of guys, under the table where she was sitting, and rests his head in her lap as she pets him and says hello...
One of the guys waiting in line saw that and offered my dad $50 bucks for Captain's collar so he could trade places with him...
We went to the back of the line and waited for her to sign posters for us... Here are some pictures of the posters, the last one is one I took of the polaroid that we took of Captain and Linda together at her table...
