Very funny story, Addicted. I had a somewhat similar experience when I was about 10 years old and lassoed a calf. It dragged me thru the cowpies, nettles and blackberries for until I finally could let go of the rope. The damn thing got thru the fence and headed for 40 acres of woods and fields. It took my Grandpa several hours to finally catch the calf and get the rope off. It's the only time I can remember my Grandpa ever being pissed at me.
