Many of my favorite things have four legs

Some of the best friendships in life are those we share with our four legged friends

I have always been a dog lover. If you visit my house, and leave without at least a little dog hair stuck on you somewhere, then you probably didn't stay long enough.
One thing you can count on, if my dog likes you, then I probably do too.
Bo's full name is Boceaphus. Some may recognize the name as a term of endearment given to Hank Williams Jr. by Hank Williams Sr.
The true origin (and where Hank Sr. probably picked it up), was the Korean War. It means 'Wingman', or 'Best Buddy', or 'The guy who has my back'
Typical usage might be: 'Me and my Boceaphus are going into town to quaff a few cold ones'

Samson is the first and only horse I have ever called my own. I got him as a 7 month old, worm filled horse colt. He had never been worked with or touched by human hands. We grew together, with him learning about people, and me learning about horses (or at least Horse). This has been one of the most amazing journeys of my life. I have a much clearer picture of the character and nobility of these creatures, and how their partnership with man has always benefited man more than the horse.
