In the December, 2011 issue of ColoradoBiz Magazine, The Mutt & the Mustang is featured under Colorado Cool Stuff - with a photo of the book's cover and several paragraphs about my horse-riding dog.
Quite a thrill to be included in this prestigious business magazine.
After a loud thump hit the house I looked out to see two bucks, each with 12-point antlers battling so hard that they had knocked drain pipes off the side of my house. One buck fell to the ground, rolled downhill with the other on top of him - they broke through 4 strands of smooth wire pasture fencing then stood up crashing their antlers together again. I ran outside banging on pots. "Stop it," I screamed. "Stop it." One turned tail, jumped the fence and ran off with the other in hot pursuit.
Deer mating season is a crazy time. Bucks are chasing does without regard to fences, coyotes, dogs, humans, each other or traffic. I feel sorry for the does who look like they are running for their lives - and the bucks who are fueled with testosterone.
Six inches of fresh snow fell overnight but today it is already melting.
