Greeting everyone! Here's an update on my life. First, my Janome 11000 is in the hospital. I miss that machine but I know that it needs a great cleaning of which there hasn't been in "years."
And then there's this little problem.
Can you see that little red blob laying underneath his mom? Well just the other day, one of those very cold 25 degree, wind blowing at 15 miles per hour days......well this little guy was laying very near the fence where his mommy left him for whatever crazy reason...and what did he do but roll over which placed him on the other side of the fence which placed him out in the road...which unfortunately was the exact moment that looked out the window and saw it happen......!!!*&@#^^$&@)@*^$@!*
What to do.....what to do?!?!?!?!
Have I mentioned that I don't like cows!? And of course Mr. Cowboy was away....Eeeeek!
I threw on my overcoat, found my boots and gloves and walked outside hoping not to spook the little critter. After some heart-stopping moments and huffing and puffing, I managed to guide him into my front yard and closed the gate. Then I promptly call Mr. Cowboy!!!!!!! Mind you, it was very cold....let's say freezing and this is a two to three day old calf. By now this mom has coming looking for him only to discover he's missing. After a lot of bellowing and charging the fence look for the little guy, she turns and runs off in another direction looking for him. He's shaking and panting and finally lays down near another fence which, thank goodness, is made from hog wire (small squares impossible to get through)....WHEW!
After about a half hour Mr. Cowboy comes home, wrestles, grabs, tussles.....you can picture it and manages to get him back to his mom. I'm exhausted after all the action....I think I need a strong cup of coffee to warm up.
To reward himself, Mr. Cowboy bought himself a new pair of boots.
Hummmmm, something's wrong with this picture.!@#$%^&**&@_
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Ha ha...."to reward himself"? I have to wonder what Rhonda's reward will be. Be sure he reads this comment.
ReplyDeleteYeah Rhonda. It seems to me you should have gotten the reward since you did so much to help the little guy. After all, there is no telling where he would have gone if not for you.
ReplyDeleteHope you have an awesome week!
No kidding! You need new something too! lol. Glad the little guy got back to mom and you weren’t relegated to bottle feeding it.
ReplyDeleteMr. Cowboy needed those boots!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great how all the rodeo stuff happens when its freezing?? Can't they wait until 65 deg days>????
Your post always make me laugh...looks to me like you could have used a new pair of boots. I had some goats get one on me one day, with hubby away....just like you, what to do what to do.
