Title: Time To Pause
Post by: Teresa Heilevang on September 08, 2008, 01:07:04 PM
As we are dealing with Monday morning challenges and day to day problems, an email was sent to me from a friend.
Marshal and I stopped ..took a break.. and watched and listened in total silence to Baxter Black. I wiped a tear away as Marshal said, " What we are dealing with now .... sorting out problems, lack of communications between people, politics, and the daily dose of bills and headaches... all of this really doesn't matter when you look at the big picture. We should all start the day ..every day... listening to the words of Baxter Black and appreciate living in the free world.

You're not kidding! I'll bet he has to send that thing out to the groomer every other week. I enjoy eating way to much to have a dust brush like that in the way.

That's definately not a typical flavor saver. He could wring out that 'stache for leftovers.
I thought I saw it move. :o

He was just a dog,...
Sometimes the simplest way to express something is to have the right orator keep it plain English.
Great post, although, I will have to try the rawhide recipe at another time..... :P

I am lucky to be an American. I have spent many hours thinking this in my life. I thank you Baxter for those kind words about the soldiers. This is why I have found a home here on Down Range. There are so many like me on here and like Baxter. I owe a lot to the people on this site, and hope that I can give back to all of them the way they have given to me. I have spent a lot of time down and out and was brought back up just by a few kind words from complete strangers on here. I am not out of the woods yet and have a lot of work I must do to make myself better, but I thank all of you helping on my way, and sharing things like these videos with everyone. -Kevin

With all the political manure being tossed around, it's good to see a wise one emerge now and then! Thanks!

Baxter Black is awesome!! I especially enjoyed him in the "Cowboys" episode a while back. I shared that episode with my wife's folks when they showed up at the house for supper last night. Shut my mother-in-law up for an entire half hour!!! ;D

Shooter32 ask me if I knew of any Christmas quotes etc by Baxter Black. I searched and searched and finally found this Christmas poem.
RUDOLPH'S NIGHT OFF
'Twas the night before Christmas and Rudolph was lame! The vet from the North Pole said, "Footrot's to blame.
I'll give him some sulfa, it's the best I can do But stall rest is needed the next week or two."
"Great Scott!" cried old Santy, he turned with a jerk, "I won't git through Pierre if my headlights don't work!
On Interstate 40 I'll surely get fined And lost in Montana if I'm flying blind!"
"No cop in his right mind would give any clout To a geezer who claimed that his reindeer went out!
"He gathered the others, ol' Donner and Blitzen,. Were any among 'em whose nose was transmitzen?
They grunted and strained and sure made a mess But no noses glowed brightly or ears luminesced.
"It's bad luck in bunches," cried Santy, distressed, "We'll fly Continental, the Red Eye Express!"
"I'll just check the schedule," he put on his glasses When up stepped 'ol Billy, the goat from Lampasasas.
He shivered and shook like a mouse on the Ark But his horns were a beacon... They glowed in the dark!
Santy went crazy! He asked, "Why?" with a smile" I just ate a watch with a radium dial!
Where I come from in Texas we don't have thick hide My skin is so thin it shines through from inside."
"If that's true then let's feed him!" cried Santy with glee" Gather everything burnin' and bring it to me!
"So Billy ate flashbulbs and solar collectors, Electrical eels and road sign reflectors,
Firecracker sparklers, a Lady Schick shaver And Lifesavers, all of em' wintergreen flavor,
Jelly from phophorescellous fish, Day Glow pizza in a glittering dish, Fireflies and candles and stuff that ignites,
Then had him a big bowl of Northering Lights! He danced on the rug and petted the cat
And after he'd finished and done all of that To store up the static 'lectricity better They forced him to eat two balloons and a sweater!
When he opened his mouth, light fell on the floor, Like the fridge light comes on when you open the door!
His Halloween smile couldn't be better drawn When he burped accidently, his high beams kicked on!
"Hitch him up!" cried ol' Santy, and they went on their way. I remember that Christmas to this very day
The sky was ablaze with the stars shining bright. They were shooting and falling all through the night.
And I realize now, though my fingers are crossed, What I really was seein'... was ol' Billy's exhaust! --Baxter Black--
