and no "our F#&%ing dinner is late" deed shall go unpunished.

bastards.

it was still 32 degrees when I went out to the barn..i had it all planned.... go slow, be efficient, don't waste time and energy going back and forth.

it started well..ginger and the other pots in first, a bit of sheep, hay and grain wrangling but basically ok.

ellie was at the back little gate so I swung over to get her in and settled next. then I headed out to the goats with their grain and hay and in a blink of an eye and a look over my shoulder..it all fell apart.

why was sofie already in her little barn? and why was Dixie with her head in the knocked over wheel barrow eating the cow grain? was that Rudi's ass sticking out of the barn? and what the hell was all of that commotion over by the hay shed?..oh..it was raven charging around like a maniac, it was all three cows with a torn off gate with their heads in Annie's alfalfa hay and it was ziggy trying to push is way into the hay shed under the cows...oh fucking yay.

only not so bright rio couldn't find his way in that little back gate which I hadn't checked to make sure it had latched.

ARGHHHHH!

I got the horses sorted out safely into their stalls. the cows absolutely refused to remove their heads from that alfalfa bale so I grabbed one of the plastic manure forks and kept poking them in the sides until they decided to leave. luckily the donkey left with them so he didn't have suffer any plastic fork poking.

way to go carol.

I am so not a fan of hungry horses, donkeys and cows.

except maybe for sofie..such a smart girl, she went to her very right place.

moral of the story..carol check your freaking gates AND don't be stupid just because you are hot!
