I walked out the back door with Smooch's breakfast in one hand and Wynonna's in the other.
Ooops.
Someone, who shall remain nameless, must not have latched the gate properly between the corral and the backyard.
Smooch, who NEVER shares the same space with the boys because I live in fear of her getting kicked in the head, is right in the thick of things, weaving in and out, running under them, and wondering what the heck they are doing in her yard. Mercifully, the dead lawn was such a temptation for Hank, Lyle, and George that they could care less about Smooch. Alan didn't want to get in trouble, so he stood in the corral watching all the drama. Wynonna was grunting for her breakfast, Willie was baahing for his, and I was having a coronary, until I could convince Smooch to come over to me, whereupon I scooped her up, tossed her in the house, and herded everybody back where they were supposed to be.
Then I made coffee.
The end.
YIKES is totally right! Love your drawing on the photo.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny. Hmmm, I've never been guilty of this before.
ReplyDeleteGlad they didn't go running off too far!
I bet Deets was a good boy and stayed put too.
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens, glad she came through unscathed.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they would be able to cohabit together??
ReplyDeleteTotally see that!! Been there and had the same exact reaction myself!:)
ReplyDeleteBet that coffeed tasted mighty fine after all that!!
ReplyDeleteAre you sure Deets is not somehow involved in this mishap? He's pretty clever and I bet he could unlatch a gate using only his tail!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's no wonder the equines were so interested in the lawn! I can tell they're hungry just from looking at that picture. Their legs are like sticks and I can see right through them! :-P
I would still be shaking!
ReplyDeleteYikes, that's too much craziness to experience before a Rancher Lady even has her first cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteGlad that Smooch was able to stay out of harm's way.

I'm thinking you may want to adjust your morning schedule to include a hit of coffee FIRST before beginning your other chores.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that the excitement was limited to a little running around and nothing more.
Awwww, Alan stayed put! I love that. It's so like how I imagine his personality. :)
ReplyDeleteLol, LOVE the stick people drawing! That's the best!
ReplyDeleteWow, that'll get the blood flowing in the morning, eh?
ReplyDeleteLove the re-enactment drawing. I could tell instantly what was going on. :-)
LOL this drawing made my night.
ReplyDeleteHaha that made my day
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't think anything could rival your photography skills but I see you have embraced your inner John Madden ;-) Love. It.
ReplyDeleteLoL! Those pictures are wonderful! Glad all turned out well!
ReplyDeleteThat got your heart pumping so early in the morning! Whew!! Love your drawings .. LOL
ReplyDeleteWe really have to train our critters to not act up before we've had our coffee.
ReplyDeleteSometimes there is just too much excitement around the AM
ReplyDeletecoffee hour!
That illustration is priceless! You are so funny :-) Gotta love good little Alan!
ReplyDeleteThis was hysterical! This gang has got so much personality, I feel like I know them all. Good thing Smooch escaped with her head intact!
ReplyDeleteOpps! Our horses have gotten out before. My hubby was home by himself. By the time I got home he was really mad!They did not cooperate with him.
