Mutiny at the farm
September 17, 2007The critters are out to get me.
My Pop had to leave the new dog, Red, tied up for about eight hours Thursday until I could get out to the farm later that night.
When I drove up the driveway, I saw seven sets of eyes staring at me.
Angry, angry eyes.
"How could you tie up our friend?" they seethed at me.
Apparently, none of the animals were happy about Red being chained up.
Especially Red.
Constrained to the garage, he had knocked over everything in site, including the dog and calf feed tubs.
He was so angry that he chased away the cats, preventing them from getting to their food as well.
All of the animals had been starving for about eight hours.
And they all blamed me.
I untied Red Thursday night and thought that everything would be OK, but in the morning, I found out just how mad they all were, especially Cherry the calf.
My Pop had cleaned out the garage about two months ago since Cherry had unofficially started living more outside than indoors.
We both had had a long talk with Cherry regarding where it was OK to poop and where it was unacceptable.
Front yard, poop away. But the garage was now off limits.
Surprising, Cherry hasn't dumped once in the garage since my pop swept the floor.
I know some people might be skeptical that we poddy-trained a calf, but we did.
Until Thursday night.
I went out Friday morning and found two big, huge steaming piles.
One of the piles sat directly on top of Red's chain.
I think Cherry made her point.
