I keep forgetting to tell you all about.
When I catch my team in the morning, I let them walk into their stall where I have a bucket in each manger with a little grain for them. Then I go out and grain the colts and some other stuff.
Well, when I came walking back into the barn the other morning, on the day the team had escaped, they had grain in their buckets from that day so when I went to catch them and they were gone, I didn’t add any, just turned them in their stalls.
I walked into the barn and Ron is standing about halfway back out of his stall, looking at the manger kind of funny. I walked up and looked down in his bucket and here was a little, fat mouse in the bucket. I wonder who was shocked worse, that poor little bitty ol’ mouse or that big fat horse who stuck his nose in that bucket? š
Ron has been real careful about sticking his nose in the bucket ever since. Wonder if the mouse tried to bite him? š
Reminds me of Dumbo! LOL
I love seeing to perplexed look on animals faces when something like that happens.
Maybe that fat mouse has some bite to him…..or her.
The poor horse he has to share with a mouse. I remember graining the cattle and sticking my arm in the bag and coming up with a mouse on my jacket sleeve..I was a tad excited..:)
I’da paid good money to see that! š
I will never forget going to the bin to feed and lifted the lid and what was in it, a possum! I have even had coons get into the bin. Poor Ron, having to share is grain š
We don’t have any possums around here. Some coons, but no possums.
nothing witty to say — just loved the post…
