"Tony" Thought Journal 3.0

Anybody remember Roy rogers's horse's name, dog's name, and Pat Brady's Jeeps name.
Well, of course !
Trigger, Bullet , and Nelly Belle the Jeep. And Buttermilk was Dale Evans cream buckskin, in case that was next on your list.
Rex Allen had KoKo.
I think that Lash LaRue had Blackjack, but maybe it was Fury ?
And Lone Ranger has Silver, and Tonto rode Scout. Randolph Scott rode Dollar, and Hopalong Cassidy rode Topper.
Did I miss anybody ?
Francis , the Talking Mule……

Traditionally, Shetlands were used in the coal mines to bring out the loads of coal, so they were bred to be miniature draft ponies, just as some of the Welsh ponies were.

After they started importing more of them to the US for riding ponies for children, breeders started breeding the more refined Shetlands that you see nowadays.
They were crossed in with smaller Arabs and eventually got that sharp, refined look that many of them have now. This was my daughter when she was about 5 years old, riding her part Arab pony, and you can see the refined head and body that Chocolate had.

Adorable picture, Yvonne. We had a Shetland Pony when I was about that age. It had the wider forehead and broader face. It was also a mean little shit and would bite anyone not paying attention. :ROFLMAO:
 
I remember most of those mentioned on TV even tho I never seen TV till I moved to SA ….Francis the talking mule is one I clearly remember
the kids watched it when they got home from school …..what was the theme tune ..a horse is a horse …of course ….unless it’s a talking horse…
something like that …. Let all sing 🎵 :ROFLMAO: …now 🎶

One I loved was touched by an angel …was that Oprah or whoopie Goldberg …..and little house on the prairie

Neither, Touched by an Angel was Della Reese a singer and actress.

Francis the Talking Mule was a movie series starring Donald O'Connor.

Mr Ed was the talking horse on TV. I can't remember the starring actor's name.
 
Recent discoveries by me:

On QVC yesterday they had an air fryer that talks to you. first you wake it up by saying "Air Fryer," then say something like chicken fingers and it will select automatically the time and temperature. It was a pretty amazing demonstration. I would definitely consider this unit if I was in the market for an air fryer. It also comes in a 10 quart model.

I like sunny side up eggs that are large and plump. I will keep one dozen jumbo eggs in the refrigerator just for my sunny side up eggs.

The last dozen of jumbo eggs I purchased was from Walmart and it was there Great Value brand.

Every egg in that carton had a double yolk. I rarely see this at all so this was pretty exceptional. How does that happen?
 
I wonder how many of you knew that Marshall Dillions horse was named Buck and MS Kitty had a fear of horses. When she saw the script with her riding side saddle into town, she threw a fit saying she was afraid of horses. It seems strange that an actor with a fear of horses would be starring on a western, but I can't imagine Gunsmoke without MS Kitty.

I didn't know that.

I did have a kitty that was afraid of dogs though. 🐕

Festus (Ken Curtis} rode a mule. He was in The Alamo which I just finished watching.

We occasionally get double yolks in our eggs, but it should never happen in commercial eggs that are candled before being sold. Maybe you accidentally got the "reject" dozen that was supposed to be given or sold to non-commercial people.
