The Amarillo Sod Poodles - A Contemporary History
Written by Dusty Reins
This will be a work in progress. I was sent a link to Ed Montana's live appearance in KFDA TV Channel 10. The video was on the station's YouTube channel and you know how YouTube works, you watch a video and they suggest others you might like and you get hooked.
YouTube also has an excellent search engine so I searched for videos about "Sod Poodles" and only three were listed with those exact words in the title or tag words. (I may have to make one too!) Anyway, I will embed those videos I found on June 9, 2018, below.
I do intend to follow up on the Sod Poodles as they receive their fifteen minutes of fame. I will list some links to historical articles, information. posts and videos as I find time to look for them. If you would like to pass something along you found online feel free to send me your comments and links. I love our new digital tools of communication for crowdsourcing information and where it can be found, collaboration for better documentation of a modern phenomenon in situ will help future researchers and historians.
