I swear every time I make any progress on my fencing something comes up. Friend of mine called, has to drive some cattle a few miles to the corrals for shipping (really twist my arm huh). So I had to take the evening getting jack ready for a cattle drive Friday. He’s really not a bad horse to shoe, he’s a lot better about it than Bro, but we’ve also had enough “conversations” to have a mutual understanding. I’m gonna put those shoes on, and he’s gonna stand there and let me do it. I’ll tell y’all one thing, whether a man is on a horse or under him, thats about as close to heaven on earth as you can get
Drive successful! I had a great time but while I was out apparently the neighbors pup got ahold of two of the ducks and not sure which ones they are. My wife called to tell me but she’s to squeamish to get up close and see who it is but the neighbor tied his dogs up and I’ll have to deal with it when I get home. We’ll figure it out
Margaret and Agatha are the unlucky females. After lookaing high and low I found Chauncey and Mary hiding out, and the other two were fine. Chauncey looks pretty rough, but I think if he makes it through the night we’ll be all right. Talked to my neighbor, he was really sorry and had his pups locked up. I told him I get it but He’s gonna have to pay for my girls and if it happens again I will not be as understanding. Tomorrow if all goes well I can get my fence done and we’ll get some sheep
Chauncey pulls through the night! Sorry that you had to deal with this too and
that your wife had to even think about something else difficult/yucky during this pregnancy.
See? Now that will teach you to go have fun driving cows! You should stay home and miss out on all that good fresh air! That way your ducks can be safe too Hope they both pull through OK.
