Aye, yes, good bloke you really are there brink!

Love that name "Dexter." You're probably aware that was the name of Red Shea's dog as well.

Dogs seemed to be a highlight in a few of Gord's songs. There was as I recall: "Piddling Pete," "Old Blue" and an interesting tune that was one of the Warner Bros. unreleased songs called "An Old Friend." That's a cool one. The lyrics are available on Wayne Francis' site.

Dogs were also referenced in other tunes like "The General Store" and "Divorce Country Style" and probably others as well.

Love those canines!

RJ.
