A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Great picture. Who is the bull in the background?
Ryan,
I am no sure, possibly Gardner.
Rex was one of the neatest, most fun guys to be around. Nobody is perfect, and Rex surly wasn't either, buy kinder hearted man you wouldn't find.
Wade
Isn't that big male Reed? Gardner might be the smaller one?
Gary,
No the big guy is Col.
Wade
Bowzer has the bullhook.
Big Joe is closest to my dad.
Reed is the smaller male next to Joe.
Gardner never had ivory.

Darlene,
Did he not call Bowzer, Hound like a man would call a women Dear? LOL
I remember when I bought a tri color basset for Tracey he called it Dirty Faced Hound. He was a great, great, talented man an I think about him almost daily.
For you guys that think Pamela Sue Anderson is hot, Darlene stunt doubled for her on many Bay Watch shows. For the rest of you Darlene is the oldest daughter of the Great Rex and Ava Williams.
Be safe Darlene,
Wade
Wade. does Darlene have a sister named Renee? I have been told that the female African elephant at the Toledo Zoo, Louie's mother, was named for the daughter of Rex Williams.
Mary Ann
Mary Ann,
Yes, Darlene's youngest sister is named Renee.

Bowzer was his real name. Hound was his nick name. My dad called him both Bowzer and Hound. I remember my dad was so sad when Hound died. He was a great little dog that loved my dad. I truly believe they are all (my dad & all his animals) together now. I miss my dad everyday. Thanks for posting his pictures.
