Since the year is almost over, I thought I’d look back on 2008 and reminisce about the year and some of the stuff I’m thankful for:
The Tall Lady
At the top of my list is Debbie Schjodt, my current guardian and drinking partner. This was my first year away from my PoolDawg home and Debbie was nice enough to schlep me around and introduce me to all the nice folks at the WPBA. Plus, she got me a totally crunk dog bowl when we moved to Atlanta and she introduced me to my Florida buddy Nikki Rasmussen (who I still miss).
The Cherry Bomb
When I wasn’t hanging out with Debbie, I was traveling through Texas and Arizona with my buddy Samm Diep. In addition to getting to hang with her supercool dog Vegas, she introduced me to all the ladies on the Ladies Spirit Tour and even made me a new dog house while she helped out in the PoolDawg offices.
The Rowdy One
I can’t talk about 2008 without mentioning my rowdy little buddy Sarah Rousey. Whenever the tall lady wasn’t around, Sarah was keeping an eye on me, getting me drinks, feeding me pizza and guarding me from the dognappers.
Frank and Sarah Rousey Gettin' Rowdy!
Super Glue
One thing I learned from my travels this year is that you never leave home without copious amounts of super glue and bandages. When you’re hanging with the rough and tumble members of the WPBA, The Spirit Tour and the OB Cues Tour, you’ve gotta be prepared for some bumps and bruises. Among the injuries this year were a broken leg, a puncture wound in the neck and multiple broken tails.
PoolDawg’s Customers
Let’s face it, without our customers, I wouldn’t be traveling around the globe hanging with famous people and partying down WPBA style. Our customers are the ones who really keep my bowl full so I feel pretty damn lucky to have thousands of loyal customers helping us grow.
Thanks for a fantastic 2008 everyone!
