We got these photos from Cowboy Chet's mom recently. You can see him modeling his Hallowe'en collar, looking crotchety and annoyed, and you can see him wearing his old, comfortable red cowboy hat and bandana, looking less irritated and a little more at home in his skin. The hat came from an admirer, an FBRN volunteer who lives in Texas, and Cowboy Chet wears his real Texas cowboy hat with unmistakable pride and remarkable elan. It's not every dog who can carry off a red cowboy hat. It's a shame, but Cowboy Chet takes the whole Marlboro Man mystique a little too far with the candy cigarette. Oh, well. The old boy's better than eleven years old. If it

The note that came with the photos said Chester and his mom had recently gone to a toy and pet warehouse store and Chet was so perturbed by the presence of other dogs that he insisted on being carried. Later that week, an old friend stopped by and was marveling that a dog as, well, crochety as Chester could ever have found a home. Up piped his mom to say that the two rescued Frenchies in her life brought her so much joy she couldn't imagine life without them.
Now, if that doesn't give us all incentive to keep taking in and training even the crabbiest old apples! It sure provides evidence that there really is a lid to every pot. Some pots are just harder to fit than others.
Belly up to the bar, Chet! The Frog Princess wants to buy you a sarsparilla!

Frog Princess, you once again got us laughing so hard we cried! Cowboy Chet reminds us so much of our Molly aka Gator Gal. Crochety senior dogs rock!
Thank you Frog Princess and Cowboy Chet's mom, for sharing with us the joys of serving the stubborn Frenchie! Yee-haw Cowboy Chet, you are one handsome fella!
Well, it could have been worse. Cowboy Chet could have taken up chawin' terbaccy. And don't kid yourself about that Sarsparilla F.P. This varmint looks like he could develop a taste fer sippin' whiskey. Yes he does.
