Just "Horsing" Around
I told you earlier in my last blog we got to do some extra fun things while in Belton for the holidays. My bff since college, invited us up to her home/farm to meet the newest addition to her family. His name is Rhett Butler and he is a cutie pie. To know Cindy all these years I would NEVER have thought she would have a chicken coupe in her back yard, a goat and a HORSE named Rhett Butler... She has disproved the ole' saying, " You can't teach an old dog new tricks".
We had a blast though especially the kids. Darby and Leila learned a little Archery from the boys and while they were playing Cindy came outside to tell us we need to wait a few minutes before we can go see Rhett. The stable owners that keep Rhett need to "put down" one of their goats that became toxic. Literally while Cindy was telling us we heard a BOOM!!! and then we saw (from across the street) them dragging the goat off into the woods. I must say, it was a little disturbing to us city folk however apparently common to those living on a farm.
Darby is finally getting the hang of it.

Speaking of goats, my poor bother in law had just gotten his goat back a few days before Christmas ( they were breeding her) and when he woke up Christmas Eve morning the goat had been attacked and killed by coyotes... so sad...then Cindy's goat...what was going on?
Here is a glimpse of all the wonderful new friends we met on the farm...let's hope the coyotes stay away!
