I tried a Bach Strad. for awhile when I thought my Getzen had seen the last of its useful days, but it just never felt right; so I took my Getzen in for a complete overhaul and have stuck with it ever since.
I also have a Flip Oakes "Wild Thing" Bb cornet, gold-plated no less. Very nice when I don't want that "in your face" sound of the trumpet.

Wow... we're all trumpet players, cool. Short of any summer local military funerals, my silver Bach Strad will probably be sitting in my room for a while.
Anyway, it was nice to see that you finally posted one of these. Goooood dog!

I call Milkbones "cookies". It's one of Noggin's favorite words/phrases, along with "supper", "pig's ear", and "do you want to go for a ride?" He gets no "people food", unless you call the occasional ice cube "people food".
Noggin doesn't do many tricks. He's pretty good with sit, down, shake, and dance (turn around in a circle); especially if he suspects there's a treat in the offing, but especially not if there is no obvious sign of a food reward but there are signs of cats, dogs, squirrels, children, etc. in the area.

Our dog (Tippi (Spitz, Chau, Dauchsund mix)) will greet us on her hind legs with two front paws high in the air. She is 15 and still walks on her hind legs, dances (turns 360 degrees on hind legs), sits pretty (sits and pulls front paws up and back), and still plays around.
Now, our cat will go nuts over the squirrels, birds, and chipmunks outside
