Gordie was almost as wild as Buddy but a lot more peaceful - and yes, usually very happy.
I can share one interesting story - I used to work for rodeo contractors to meet expenses while I entered rodeos (before clowning).
We were at the University Field House at Manhattan KS. There was a solid wooden gate for the cowboys to get in and out of the arena. One of the bulls, a small Angus (not too aggressive) had bucked off his rider - just then someone came in the gate and he saw it open. By the time he got there the gate had closed (on a spring) but he went right through - splitting the gate in half.
The back doors of the field house were open and he headed out onto the football field, scaring a 10 year old up a tree in the process.
The football team was practicing and he went right through them knocking down a few - the coach said later "if I'd known he was coming I would have had the guys tackle him."
From there he headed down fraternity row and into the open front door of a frat house. The house mother was in the kitchen and said she heard a noise and came out to tell the guys to "stop fussing", only to come face to face with the bull in the living room.
By this time he had calmed down and was just wandering around, however, (there's always a however), one of the cowboys on horseback rode his horse into the house to rope the bull. The bull did no damage in the house but the shod hooves of the horse broke several floor tiles.
The bull, meanwhile had avoided the horse and wandered back outside and was eating grass on the lawn when the rest of us caught up to him.
I was able to put my belt over his neck and lead him to the horse trailer they brought to get him back to the field house.
At the same rodeo (different day) we had to transport stock back and forth to the stockyards. I was following another truck when the back door of the truck ahead popped open and there were suddenly dogging steers all over the road (none hurt).
We spent the next 2 hours gathering them all up. Of course it made the papers.
Never got to Bengough or Wood Mountain though>
