BeachDrums Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 This tour, the Crossmen have an extra member traveling with them. He's a sweet bichon and rides the brass bus. During a recent stay in Big Spring, Texas, Chachi became dehydrated and was taken to a vet by a very nice woman named Patti who works in the food truck. The vet said the little dog had a severe case of the ailment and wasn't certain he would pull through. Last night while traveling to Comfort, Texas, pillow cases and plastic containers were passed around on the buses to help raise money for medical expenses for the cute little canine. The next morning around 8am, a phone call with GREAT NEWS was received - the little ball of white fur was doing well and was "perky." Ron, Patti's husband, will be bringing Chachi to San Antonio to be reunited with the tour. If you see a little white dog in the show site parking lot, feel free to say "hi." I know there are many other stories of kindness and generosity that never get posted while on tour, but I thought I couldn't let this one slip by. Thank you once again Crossmen. This corps is already a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbandguy Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I take it the Crossmen found the dog in this condition and rescued it? Along with a donut donation to the corps, maybe a bag of Kibbles as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddy Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) Great story, and good karma... Chachi is a great name for the dog too - very Bones. Glad he's doing better, and that he will rejoin the corps soon.. Edited July 23, 2005 by geddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsreps Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I believe Chachi belongs to the bus driver for the brass bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSun76 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Cross has had other pooches of note. I forget it's name, but Robbie had a miniature poodle that toured with the 1980 corps. Very entertaining and smarter than many drummers I know :P Glad Chachi is recovering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
