DATELINE CHUCKWAGON SQUARE, VERNON L. RICHARDS RIVERBEND PARK, SMITHVILLE, TEXAS --- My beloved Bob Dog passed in the morning of March 13, sleeping and pain free in one of her kitchen spots in the BFT beneath the family bed. Despite all efforts, septic got her as we all slept. We had been very hopeful on Tuesday with a small can of food, good water consumption and ball time taken in - but it wasn't enough. I wrapped her in my favorite Yellowstone blanket and we said goodbye. I was her mama but Ding was her rock and Thumper, her best friend.
Thunder on the Colorado and our work here is dedicated to Bob. She would love this vendor space. There are big trees, the eastern version of the Colorado River, very nice people and a hometown feel that is genuinely welcoming. Brauts and beer welcomed the vendors - that's a nice touch. It will be a small rally but strong - it's in its seventh year. The Grays are headed over tomorrow on Charro and Thumper has already set up his act in the thoroughfare. The president of the Chamber of Commerce has been appointed his unofficial toy thrower - tennis ball, rubber dumbell, fat tire and bones.
With a heavy but very hopeful heart, Holly, Ding, Thumper and, may she play more tennis ball then was every imagined, Bob Dog
