Gentlemen all, Thank you very much for the information, and i absolutely love to video of all the mascots together.
I do Cowboy Action Shooting and we had a sweet mascot named Black Diamond Nicki (her cowgirl name, her real name was just Nicki). She was a trained care dog who had to be retired due to a serious condition and was not expect to live much longer. Her new parents sought out a specialist and she lived a long and happy life. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier this year. Her parents have adopted a new baby and she is in training now.
Last year she was presented with a special trophy at the Tennessee State Match. Her parents, Cardboard Cowboy and Foxy Filly, are truly the most wonderful and kind people - it is a genuine pleasure to know them. You may notice that mom and puppy dress alike!
Sorry for altering the thread, but this subject brought Nicki to mind, so thought I would share it.
Terry
