He's gone to the dogs.

Friends, it's time once again for the Gone to the Dogs podcast.

Your host, Steve Fielder, with you one more time.

And once again, I'm going to reach down to the great state of Texas.

It seems like I've been on a Texas role here the last few episodes with Ray Dismukes and with Mark Gilmore.

And now I'm very, very happy to be able to speak with my longtime friend down, well, southwest Texas way, not far from San

and Tone. In Luling, Texas, actually, do you live in Flatonia or Luling, Kenwood?

No, I was born and raised in Flatonia, but we moved to Luling when both my dad and my wife's mother were getting old, and they were in rest home, so we moved down here in 91.

Okay, well, that's the voice of Kenwood Maker.

Those of you out there that have been around a while know Kenwood as a black and tan man.

May have met him at Black and Tan Days.

Autumn Oaks, it's hard to tell.
