I had a great time...well up until Roger asked Rosco to cuff and stuff me fortrying to take the General Lee...some guys just don't know how to have any fun... The story behind Flash is that James was a dog lover even back then and he wanted his character Rosco to have a dog. The producers said no, not in the budget, etc. So James said fine, went and rescued a dog of his own out of a shelter, and she became part of the show. Jiames was really her owner but he ended up letting her live with her trainer all the time. James said she lived to be 14...so that's what in dog years? 98? A ripe old age... there's nothing sweeter than hearing James say velvet ears in person...
