I was born in Texas and spent many years there (mixed with stretches on the East Coast) before finally settling in NY. I was never much into Texana, but I saw a great act at the Mesquite Rodeo (east of Dallas). They had a Capuchin monkey dressed up in Western duds, riding on a dog's back with a little saddle, chasing sheep around the inside of the ring. The dog, at least, was a pretty effective herder, and the monkey played the part, rearing back in the saddle and letting out a screech when the "dogies" were successfully corralled. It was pretty freaky, and I admit I laughed my ass off.
