Hungry Kitty

FEED ME....

OR I WILL BITE YOUR TOES IN YOUR SLEEP!!

Dark

Lookin' a little dark out there.

Had to hurry up and ride my Jaders out with the beef girls, so we could get home before it got wet!

Run With The Cows

Who wants to Run with the Bulls when you can Run with the Girls?

It's almost as dangerous... if your name is Stoney!

Bent Out of Shape

This girl looks a little bent out of shape.

A New Life

Had a surprise delivery a few mornings ago... continue scrolling if you would like to enjoy a picture play by play!!

Had a "fun" little adventure with my Black Beast on Tuesday. Manny and I had just dropped cows off at the local auction yard, and I hopped out of the truck to use the restroom when I noticed smoke. At first, I thought the auction yard was cooking something for lunch which I thought, "Wow guys, it's only like 7:30 a.m., and you're already cooking lunch? Industrious."

Upon further inspection, I realized that smoke was coming from underneath my truck. Hoping to evade catching the whole dang place on fire, I shut the engine off, used the restroom, and met up with Manny outside to assess the situation. We decided to turn the truck on again to see if maybe it was a figment of my imagination.

Wrong.

It just ended up smoking even more, and it concerned me greatly that it was coming from the spare diesel tank.

After some calls, my Momma and Texas came to our rescue. Meaning, Texas came to pick Manny and I up to take us back to the ranch, while my Momma waited for a long while for a tow truck to come pick up my baby.

Of course, when the Mechanic turned the truck on at the shop, it didn't smoke at all. Isn't that how it always works? When something is wrong with your vehicle, it always runs perfect when you are paying for it to be in the shop. Dang Fords.

All they could find and fix was indeed a leak in the line for the spare fuel tank. Cross your fingers for me that I won't be smokin' on the road next week!

Buddies

Dos and Stoney.

I tried getting a picture of them that wasn't blurry, but they were play fighting the whole time and moving around. Such sweet little friends.

Sleeping Beauty

Someone was happy to be out of the rain and cold while we were going through cows the other day...

Typical

Just your typical Saturday morning wake up call...

Loading up trucks in the early hours to send mama cows off to Mexico. Have a Corona for me?

Not A Fan

Poor Stoney... we got a lot of rain (yay!!) this last weekend and last week... and the boys were still expected to "load up" and lay down in the back of the truck bed to get around the ranch.

This was Stoney's pitiful idea of laying down.. I watched him hold this position for several minutes while driving.

Undercover

Chester.

Undercover pup.

The Beginning and the End

This picture is funny because you can only see the beginning and the end of my poor ol' man Alfalfa.

It seriously looks like he had to be cut in two for this picture!

Bone Hog

Our dogs are somewhat, Bone Hogs. When we give them bones to chew on, they always seem to think the other bone is better. This leads to one or both of them stealing the other's bone, over and over again. In the world of a Bone Hog, there is no room to chance losing one's bone over a little shut-eye.
