So hey everybody!! :) Mom has been doing the blog, but I've been wanting to do it, so now I am.
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! :)
