Seasons on the Open Range Collection -- "Dog Tired" -- by artist Larry Zabel -- Bradford Exchange 1995 -- First issue in the series -- Suggested retail $100.00 --
Curley, Frank and Big Jim had been in the saddle since sun up. The sun was high in the sky now. None of the boys needed a watch to tell 'em it was about three in the afternoon. They were about a half hour's ride from the ranch—that is if the cattle continued to cooperate. Sometimes the dogies got a little ornery, tcx)k to moseying off in the wrong directions, and that's when Spike earned his keep.
Spike was the outfit's cowdog, and the cowboys wouldn't trade him for the Best of Show in any highfalutin kennel club. Not a chance. Spike had proven too valuable on the trail, nipping cattle on the heels, keeping 'em in line, knowin' what to do without much direction from the men.
Spike had been workin' since sunup, too, even harder than the cowpokes. Big Jim and the boys, they had a soft spot for old Spike. So each in their turn will give the dog a ride. That way he won't be too tired to tackle that big steak waitin' for him back at the ranch.
Now this thrilling portrait of life on the open range is yours to treasure always—captured on fine porcelain and ringed with triple bands of gold.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
