Barnsley, the Golden Cocker Spaniel having fun on the beach on our recent visit to the far North West of Scotland.
Meet my dog Indie and our incredibly dirty frisbee. He knows the words play, frisbee and ball. Although this is really more about him playing than me, seeing him happy and playful makes my heart sing.
Occasionally he gets the concept of fetch correct....very occasionally! Usually you throw the ball, he runs after it, gets it, but then drops it half through running back to you! Way more excited about his people than a silly tennis ball!

A lovely afternoon spent at Knettishall heath introducing the pup to the concept of swimming. She won't go out of her depth just yet, but seemed to have fun anyway!
Bailey enjoying a game of fetch at the beach. He doesn't seem to know his limit and will swim for hours if I don't stop him. He sure loves the water.
Lets Go Devils!

SW Va. football preview: South's visit to Gate City generating lots of buzzBy George Thwaites
Published September 9th, 2009 | 0 Comments
Somehow, it seems amazing that Sullivan South and Gate City never have met before on a football field.
Now that it finally is happening, Friday’s upcoming interstate clash between the Rebels (3-0) and Blue Devils (2-0) at Legion Field has all the makings of a big event.
While some of the crowd projections are far-fetched (can you even get 10,000 people into Legion Field?) there is little question that local interest in this game is sky high. Gate City High School has announced that the gates will open at 5 p.m.
“That’s one of the reasons both schools wanted to do it. Good gates and a lot of fun,” South coach Stacy Carter said. “It’s just a good thing for these two communities to get together.”
Despite Gate City’s proximity to the Model City, interstate football rivalries have been relatively scarce in recent years.
The Blue Devils had a brief interstate series with Sullivan North back in the 1990s. Gate City hasn’t faced Dobyns-Bennett on the gridiron since 1970. That was a state championship season for the Blue Devils, who prevailed 44-14 at Legion Field.
One interesting footnote gratis Bill Lane’s remarkable memory: South quarterback Aaron St. Clair’s father, Robert St. Clair, was calling the signals for D-B in 1970.
Whether or not there’s a filial revenge motive in the making, the younger St. Clair is the latest in a recent line of outstanding Rebels quarterbacks. He set a school single-game passing record of 380 yards against Greeneville two weeks ago, making an early case for his chances of becoming the third straight all-state QB to come out of Pactolus.
Once again, the Rebels have lots of targets for their QB, with Ashton Zanoni pacing a talented receiver corps. Running back Bobby Taylor is ready to carry the mail whenever South’s massive line — an impressive unit even after the tragic loss of Jake Logue — turns its attention from protecting St. Clair to creating creases.
“They’re a senior-laden team. They’re sound in all their stuff,” said Gate City coach Bill Houseright, whose team beat Tazewell 52-27 last week. “They do a good job taking what you give them. They have good size up front. They run the ball effectively and the quarterback makes good decisions back there.”
That being the case, time of possession will be a major bone of contention. Gate City also has a big and powerful offensive front, auguring an intense battle for superiority at the line of scrimmage.
For the second week in a row, running back Joseph Vaughn and quarterback Dusty Clark legged the Devils to victory. Vaughn rushed for 192 yards against Tazewell, scoring four touchdowns. Clark scrambled for 223 yards and scored twice.
“They definitely know what they’re doing,” Carter said. “They’ve got a quarterback that can fly. He gives it to (Vaughn) for some good inside gains then he pulls it out the backside and he’s gone. It kind of reminds me of the stuff Cloudland did when it had the Byrd kid.”
Some have suggested that Friday’s game may be more meaningful to Gate City than to South. This is questionable. The Rebels are riding a more obvious up cycle, but both football programs are accustomed to ruling their respective roosts.
If either team feels like it has anything to prove, one needn’t look any further than last week.
While giving due props to Daniel Boone, Carter believes last week’s 35-27 overtime win at Gray was far closer than it needed to be.
“We were very fortunate to come out with a win,” Carter said. “We were not focused ... we were putting the ball on the ground and doing some things we don’t normally do. Whatever the cause, we just didn’t play very well.”
Houseright, meanwhile, wasn’t crazy about the four touchdowns Gate City allowed Tazewell last week.
“I guess anybody that gives up three or four big plays would like to have them back. But hopefully those are things we can correct,” he said.
