Today was a fun day at the Dotson household. We woke up and had ourselves some breakfast together (this is a rare occasion so I love when we get to enjoy some morning time together). Then off to help TW’s dad feed the cows. Apparently it’s a pretty long process. You’ve got someone driving the tractor pulling out one hay bail at a time while the other person has to cut all the strings off the bale so the cows don’t eat it. Then you have me as seen here, holding an empty feed sack in which all the strings go in. Now I’ll admit my job wasn’t THAT important or neither necessary but it was fun to tag along. I will however like to clarify my main job today was to keep track of the doggies so they don’t chase the cattle. You get in BIG trouble if you chase the cattle! When the cows run they lose weight which means they weigh less when you take them to sell them which means you loose $$$$$!!!! Don’t chase the cattle! After that we went and ate lunch and headed off to the in-laws to ride 4 wheelers. I love riding in the snow! It’s so much fun! It was so peaceful too to turn off the lights and the engines and just sit out there in the dark and talk. Ellie proved herself to be a pretty tough pup today! Midnight stopped where the river crosses, which granted it is probably running as tall as he is, but Ellie just trudged right through it! I didn’t think she was that tough! She stayed by our side the entire time. My dog is so cool. :)
I feel like I’v been wearing these peanut coveralls in way too many pictures recently!!!
Enjoy!
