The Big Gold Dog.....
The other day Eric over at The FireAnt Gazette had a fine picture of his dog Abbye posted along with the cryptic message that more pictures of Gold Dogs should be posted. Since Eric is a friend and knows of my Big Gold Dog, I took this as a personal note to let the readership finally see a photo of the namesake of this website. So here my friends, is Tres along with the master of this domain. Our images rarely grace the
pages of this journal, usually because there is no byline necessitating our photos. We thank Eric for the opportunity to fit our mugs into the scheme of things.

This photo was taken a year or so ago at our offices where I was teaching Tres how to read the drilling reports that come in daily, my thought being that if he could learn this skill I could stay at home. In a place like Midland where we all mainly work for ourselves, one can do things like bring his dog up to the office. About the only comments I had from my partners on this day were, "oh, I see you brought your dog". "Yes", I answered, and that was the end of the discussion. Tres had a wonderful time, especially looking out the window on the 12th floor.
