We would like to introduce to you

"COO-COO the  CLOWN"
One flew east---one flew west,
One flew over the coo-coo's nest


We recently caught up with "COO- COO the CLOWN" to get a few of his thoughts in his own words.

HEEERRRR-RRRRRE's COO-COO:

"Well, I want to start with telling you a little something about myself. This is all new to me. First I guess I'd like
to tell you about my name, COO-COO the CLOWN. The name COO-COO may best describe me, as well as it
rhymes so well with -- and I really like that.
And the CLOWN part, it fits me like a glove -- because I'm a clown.

Now some of you may not know this but I am a doggy lover. I like dogs. Just the other day a dog was loose and
ran down the home stretch during a race with the horses finishing the mile. Now, from my "OFFICIAL" view, I
thought it was the most beautiful thing - to watch that dog run down the track racing those horses. It was kind
of like a dog and pony show. The dog finished 10th in a photo finish. He did beat the horse in the photo.
GO SPIKE GO! - RUN BOY RUN!....could y'all hear me yelling for him.

Some of you may think that dogs should be on a leash at the racetrack. BUT NOT ME!! OH NOT I!! Dogs don't
belong on a leash (or a least I don't think so). I mean, what harm did that do....the dog running down the
stretch. It was soooo funny. I've never laughed so hard in all my life. Yeah I know....he could've  took a turn and
run out in front of the field. But ya know what----HE DIDN'T!!!! NOTHING BAD HAPPENED!!! So what if. IT DIDN'T
HAPPEN. And that's the way I look at it.

Now, another thing I'd like to shed some light on, is this.
I have trouble seeing things (y'all already know that) --- but I have trouble seeing breaking horses in qualifiers.
Even if they break stride right in front of me, I don't see them. But I don't want anyone else telling me a horse
made a break. If I didn't see it -- it didn't happen.

Last, but certainly not the least, you will be impressed by the way I handle myself and the way I talk to people.
Just ask around about how inappropriate I talk to people and what great clownish behavioral  people skills I
have. Just ask owner Tom Smith and his trainer Rob Zink. They know.
And just so y'all know

I go COO-COO for Cocoa Puffs .... cause I'm
COO-COO the CLOWN."
