My excellent day

[AnnieCamaro]

Yesterday, my mom drove me to Oklahoma City. The very nice veterinary surgeon told me I had two more months to finish healing up. I am going to do it, too, because I don't want anybody to be mad at me.

On the way home, mom got off the highway early and drove past some oilwells and big fields. In one of the fields, where they'd never been before, were about 40 kazillion cows, including some cute cow pups. (I know that two-footers call them calfs, but I think of almost every kind of cute baby as a puppy.) Those cows didn't have anybody to tell them what to do, so they were just wandering around, looking bored. I started thinking that they needed a cow dog, so I might go back there someday and apply for a job. I think I would like being a cow dog.

When I was first learning how to read, I found a children's book called Hank the Cow Dog. Hank would guard the cows from varmints, help the rancher, catch rustlers, solve mysteries, and stuff like that. That sounds like an interesting line of work. I would work on my music when the cows were taking their naps.

Annie, I was coming home from church on Saturday (not services, just a meeting) and saw a two-footer and a four-footer out for a walk on our street. The four-footer looked remarkably like the picture in your avatar. I know you probably don't have any relatives in the Bluegrass State, but I surely did a double-take when I saw them.

You know, Annie, you don't need cows to herd. Bridget the Aussie pup herds me down the stairs, the kids when they play and our cream chow chow while she tries to potty. You can get plenty of practice in before you have a herd of your own.

If you become a cow dog, you might have to leave your mom and sister and they both need you.

You did have a most excellent day.

When you are ready to apply for a job, you might want to stick closer to home for the first one. Read up on separation anxiety. You will understand.

Two months? Piece of cake for the Annie!

Perhaps an adventure to see Adventure Boy with lots of cow doggin' is in order for this summer.

It is good to hear that you are well on your way to recovery.

Keep up the good work Annie. No cow dogging until you're completely well. Lots of healing vibes are coming from me.

Glad you enjoyed your day!

I'll help you, Annie! I am an excellent herder! I'm very fast! Fast fast fast!

I herd Yeti and Clayton all the time! Except when they ignore me! Or climb the fence! Stoopid cats don't know anything about being herded!

I herd Mom or Dad to my food bowl every day! They'd get lost without me! I herd them when they're fishing because they get too far apart! Fishing is dumb! Except eating the fish, that's OK. You can't herd fish!

I saved Mom from a bear last year! She was really scared!! She screamed CASEY!!!! really loud! So I let the bear go and went back down the trail to take care of her! It was faster than I am! And bigger!

I'll help you be a cow dog!!

Annie, you and Casey need to come to Montana for a visit. We have cows here, you know. I don't personally have a cow, but I do have a fifteen month old grandson that needs herding.

I would like that, Miss t. Do you have any mysteries that need solving, too?
