I still say it's prudent to stay on your feet and remain upright at all times in the arena... What do you suppose she was doing down there?

Diane you should be ashamed!
I had to go back and change all the little numbers.

Sorry - didn't intend to cause you any work - just taking a sanity check....

Pat, It look's to me like she is styling the Never before seen, First time only, stand up, rather then sit down-O death trick. Not to be confused with the kiss-O-death trick. Now I will ask the obvious question before Casey Canine does. What the hell kind of whip is that? Wade Burck

Wade, even my inexperienced eye can tell, by the cougar on the right standing up, that whip is from the Misused Whip CO. of Nevada Mo. Incidentally, Ms. White, I have been informed Wade performs a very similar trick at the end of his act, during the 1 date he does every year, and with the rite circus personalities in the crowd, he will actually, put most of his arm inside the tigers mouth. He is "all about the flash" you know.

Casey:
It seems you've put far more thought into 'why Wade does what he does' than I have. Or ever will.

Her whip looks like a plain ol' run-of-the-mill bullwhip to me. Why she would need something that severe to work 80 lb. cats is a mystery.

Casey, there is a reason why you will accomplish more then she ever has. Or ever will. Remember our discusion's about taking thing's too serious? Wade Burck

Tsk, tsk, Wade. Whatever.

Seriously, I've never understood why I'm such a thorn in your side. But I do remember clearly why you're a thorn in mine.

Casey, See. There HAS been far too much thought put in to it. Remember what that member of the East Texas Animals Trainers Association told us about training hippo's? Wade Burck

Wow, I had no idea you two got along so well. It does not surprise me though.
On a friendlier note, spent the day at the KC zoo yesterday. They had six female Africans. Husbandry was of the (throw bait from other side of fence) system, in a very nice yard and barn. Very spacious yard. The zoo had a very nice Sea Lion show. All the exhibits were very large,(almost too big as you have to work to see the animals) They still have the old elephant barn up, were the male Casey used to live.
