Yesterday, I rested. Today I almost worked.
When you ride out you never know what will happen in a day. So far, this month, we lost a rope (thankfully an old worn out one), a straw cowboy hat (which we miraculously found today), a pup (that I have looked and called and whistled and fretted over that hasn’t come home), and today it was a pair of Kirk Bensmiller (handsome canadian chuckwagon driver) type prescription sunglasses in 6 feet of stinky black water.
This is shortly after my cowboy on Trouper (aka Grumpy) crossed that, what looks to be a little, ditch with a great big hole in it. Trouper when in right up to his eyeballs and lunged and jumped till my cowboy was riding his neck. Luckily the only casualty was the sunglasses and a nice flat top felt hat, that he was wearing to church, (but since he lost his only other hat, he had to wear it) that is specked with black stinky slim.
I was prepared to work but the neighbor boy was there having too much fun so I just took pictures. (Yes, this time he’s riding Wilbur. I’m on the sorrel grandkids horse, GW.)
He’s about to mark the calf with that orange spray paint so we’ll know this calf has been treated. The spray will last only a few days before it wears off but we’ll be back in the herd checking on his progress before that happens.
Glad you got an easier job. Great cowboys in action pics!
Great neighbors. Glad you got fresh air and thanks for the pictures. Hope you all have a great weekend! 🙂
Great photos! Glad Daniel is available for you, he's a good kid!
That's so awesome that the momma cow was allowing them to help her baby. I think our momma cows would have attacked us and if not them, the buffalo sure would have. Our buffalo don't like strange un-ordinary things! And I love that the horses just stand there and help! That's awesome
Nice work ! I do hope your pup has come to no harm. glad you have such good nieghbors and friends so you can have a bit of a rest and show us pictures
That's great that you got some help and got to take photos. Hope that pup comes home.
Your neighbor kid is awesome, what a good helper.
So nice to have good neighbors! And I'm glad you got to sit back and take pictures. Like to watch men work. ;o)
