[Psalm 144]

This stuff is sad to me. I loved that show when I was a kid.

Good to see a RFD TV got Trigger, something like that belongs to the public.

[screaming eagle2]

from what I heard,it was a good thing

[I still care]

A bit of Trivia - If you want to see Trigger alive and prancing around in a fantastic movie out on blu-ray in his “salad days”, give a watch to “The Adventures of Robin Hood” with Errol Flynn.

He is Maid Marian’s (Olivia De Havilland) horse, the beautiful palomino she is riding through the forest in the ambush scene.

How much do you think Ted Williams head will go for?

[I still care]

Here is the only picture I could find of him in the movie. It isn't very good - there are so many pictures of that movie on the net but not many with Trigger, or "Golden Cloud" as was his name then.

By the way, I have the blu-ray Robin Hood, and it is the best adaptation to blu-ray that I have. Not only did they do a wonderful job (it's like I've never seen the movie before, there is so much detail) - but it has excellent features with it, like back scenes with the cast and extras hanging out in the woods, excellent commentaries, etc.

Roger's stuffed German Shepherd Bullet, who was also the family pet, sold for $35,000 (£22,890), also to RFD-TV.

I'm glad to see that RFD-TV decided to buy Bullet. It would have been really sad if he and Trigger had been split up.

I still think Trigger (and Bullet) ought to be in the Smithsonian.

Can you imagine any politically correct dope in Hollywood naming their dog “Bullet” today?

[IMR 4350]

Back in the late 50’s, 60 at the latest I would say, we were going through a line to see everything Roy Rogers, when the woman in front of us had her finger bitten off by Trigger.

She was petting Trigger on his nose. My old man told her she was going to get bit. When she turned her head to tell my old man to mind his own business, off came the finger.

Trigger gnawed on it for awhile then spit it out.

[Mare]

I personally believe that Trigger and Bullet should no long be on display, but buried now that Roy and Dale are gone. I can understand why he had them stuffed, but it’s time for them to rest in peace.

I saw them at a rodeo in Detroit around 1946-47. I’ll never forget them all. My brother and I had our picture taken with Roy for some magazine.
