A lot has happened recently. First, we got a new longhorn calf. She is the cutest thing! But here's the deal. When we let her go in the pasture, I'm not sure what got into our wonderful horse, but she got super excited. Like, super de duper excited. So excited, in fact, that she jumped a barbed wire fence. She cleared it, sort of. She got across, but cut her front left leg directly above her knee. She fell and scared us all (I thought she was going to die) but she was ok. We called the vet, and she got some stitches, and is healing nicely. Here are some pictures of Cleo all excited, the baby longhorn, and then us doctoring her. Haha, I say us. I took pictures and Erica and Kayla took care of her.
She splashed around in the pond. :)
The wrap was just to reduce the swelling. The cut isn't that bad.
The shot they're giving her is an antibiotic.
Cleo did not appreciate all of our work for her. Haha.
Applying some goo to help her out.So, after all of this joyfulness, we had another problem. Dad, Kayla, and Erica were going to pick up Tavi, who had been at her boyfriend's house. :) They decided to take Pixie (Kayla's dog) along for fun. Pixie was put in the trailer for the ride there. Halfway through, she fell out. They saw someone pick her up, and drive off. They got Tavi and came home, hoping that the person would call the number on the tag.
Turns out, someone didn't pick her up, or she ran away from them, because the next day someone called saying they had Pixie for a while but she ran off. We drove around that neighborhood and surrounding areas, but didn't find her. Someone called the next day. They had found her! So she got lost on Sunday, and God brought her back Tuesday. Needless to say, we are hoping the next couple days are uneventful. :)
And what do y'all think of the new layout? Comments would be great! I'm going to try to do a couple more things, but I don't know if it'll work out or not, since I'm not good at that kind of stuff. We'll see. And does anyone know how to widen the what-cha-ma-call-it? You know, the bar on either side? To make the width wider? If any of you geniuses can figure me out, and knows what to do, could give me a few tips? Thanks! :)

Good job on updating the crazy week at the Hag Ranch, Alissa! What is the moral of this story????? Eat more Chicken??? It seems to work for Chick - fil- la!!
Glad everyone is home and healing.
Love to all,
Sandy
Woah, no one told me you guys had a blog!
Come on!
Have you guys been thinking about the state coordinator thing? Luke told me he contacted you guys about it.
I didn't know you had a ranch either.
What's going on here?
Hi! Thanks for always leaving nice comments on my blog!! My mom tells me you all are a sweet and wonderful family. I love all of the pictures of your animals. I always wished I lived in the country so I could have had a horse or chickens or something... but nope, we were always city folks. My hubby tells me that he wouldn't be surprised if he came home to some chickens and a dairy cow in our yard one day. LOL!
Anyway, you wanted to know how to make the columns bigger on your blog... it's pretty much impossible with any of the blogger layouts unless you understand the html coding. This is where I got my layout--> http://www.ourblogtemplates.com/search/label/2%20column%20template
They explain how to download it and everything. Just so you know, when you change to layout of the whole page like that it will delete everything that you already have on the side column and you'll have to redo it all. It took me quite a while to figure it all out without completely messing up my blog. Good luck!! :-)
I'm not sure that web address copied completely so here it is again:
http://www.ourblogtemplates.com/
scroll down a bit and look on the left hand side of the page where it says 'Labels'. Click on whichever template you want, 1, 2, 3 or 4 column template.
