We still haven’t gotten any rain at our house, but it was overcast most of yesterday and the high was only 86. We decided to give late afternoon fishing one more shot. The fish weren’t biting, but we did have a little excitement.
We kept hearing the cows mooing. More so than usual. Sure enough, we soon saw two calves that had gotten out and were frolicking around outside the pasture. Fishing poles set aside, we headed to the pasture side of the pond so my husband could get out and start rounding them up. Meanwhile, I took the boat across to the dock to get the truck and head back to the pasture. (I’ve gotten pretty good in the john boat with a single paddle)
The calves were herded through a gate into the pasture and the escape route was located (a tree over the fence). That wasn’t the only problem. Somehow, the rest of the cows had broken through the fence into the area the hay is kept. They and the three remaining donkeys were having a grand ole time at the “hay buffet”! That required opening more gates and shooing everyone into a different pasture until repairs could be made this morning.
So much for a peaceful evening of fishing. Now, moving on to puppies…
Their eyes should be opening soon, so I’ve been checking on them daily to see what I could see. To my surprise, I saw more yesterday than I anticipated. More puppies, that is! There are nine of them, not seven! How will we ever find homes for all of them?!?

I'm still laughing about the "Hay Buffet"!!
I feel your pain. We keep finding kittens in the back yard as does my country daughter. She's up to 24 and I'm up to about 12. I may have to call the ASPCA if I can find a local chapter. I just can't take them to the dog pound to be killed, I just can't!!
Kelly, we got your rain yesterday. It came down in buckets for almost an hour late in the afternoon. I got all of my rain barrels and buckets filled. The entire world outside my window looks refreshed. I stipped and did a 'thank you' rain dance in the back yard. The water coming from that sky was COLD!!! LOL! But I felt like I was five years old again.
Hope y'all get some rain soon!!! Blessings and good luck with the pups!
The look like little rats...as all puppies do. We got a surprise thunderstorm yesterday afternoon dumping just over one inch of rain. Luckily we missed some rather big hail nearby.
