– – In times long past, kids actually had cowboys as heroes!  They had no superpowers,  but could shoot a gun out of a bad guy’s hand, or win in a fistfight without getting their hats knocked off.  People when they got shot didn’t even bleed or lose body parts!

“How lame!,” declares one present-day kid.

“Totally gay!,” agrees another.

–No, it’s true!  I swear! – -There were cowboy heroes like the Lone Ranger, Sky King. and Roy Rogers!   Said cowboy heroes had their animal sidekicks, especially their horses and occasionally a dog.- -Well, when Roy Rogers’ famous horse Trigger died, he had the deceased equine preserved, as in stuffed.  Once featured at the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum in Branson, Mo., Trigger is now going on the auction block at Christie’s in Manhattan, and is expected to fetch between $100,000 and $200,000!  Also being sold are the preserved remains of Roy Rogers’ dog, Bullet.

– –Happy Trails to You, famous old furries!
