Poor old Cory the donkey is no more, farrier felt his feet were too bad to be repaired at his age, and I suspected as much. Really, REALLY angry with his former owners for letting them get so bad. He went peacefully, while all doped up on some nice drugs for his foot examinations, munching on a piece of apple. RIP, old boy. Never one to let anything go to waste, I had Richard call up someone he knows, and Cory's body was donated for coyote bait. I hate the thought, but I hated the thought of dumping the sweet old guy in a hole, even more. I would have eaten him myself, but for the drugs, ugh

WWW, I must say you are an example of how we all should treat animals. They should be treated with respect when alive; and eaten when dead even... Or especially if a pet. (Don't ask me to eat my dog, but I won't pass judgement on the Chinese or French who do.)
And coyotes have a place in nature, but there's too many if you ask me. Coyote fur coat? Sounds nice and warm.

Happy Anniversary WLLady..and Admins!! lol.

My hubby and I got married... because HE and everyone else... his mom mostly thought we should. I didnt want to marry ever again, after marrying a complete dick head the first time around. Had a son from that marriage.

Ended up working for Gary.... and rented a house from him to house me and my son.... and had my sister live with me, to watch my baby, while I went back to ex father in law's farm, to milk cows early A. M....( cause like I said... about my ex... and father in law was elderly.... I got to bring my cows here with me, when I left that situation... a total of 9 purebred Jersey milk cows/heifers/calves), then took him to Gary's house help/babysitter to have him watched with HIS two children, while I helped chore here. Sow/farrow to finish, and finished beefers.

Ya ya... I moved in with him, when I ran out of rent money.... He asked.... I guess he liked me..... I moved in, mostly for survival with a baby. Love came gradually thru the years. Nearly 27 of them now.

We lived together 5 years, and I got pregnant. Ugh. Thats twice prevention failed. So.... 5 months along... and after constant 'bugging', and comments from his mom..... I saw the preacher walking down the road one day, while I was coming home from somewhere... and asked him when he could marry us. He said to get the licence, and he could do it Sunday, after church.

We contacted a couple of friends (not even close friends... I just wanted to get it over with), to stand with us on a hill on the back of the farm, and we all went out for chinese food after.

Not real proud of my young and stupid years. You learn alot as you grow. If I had the balls I have now (and I got those from my life experiences), I would have ended his (ex) with a ball bat.

End of story. David was born a few months later, and then Melissa two years after that. A total of 5 kids between us. All out of the house, and all but one (MY son) married.

BVF, wow and thanks for sharing. Yes your ex might have deserved the business end of a Louisville Slugger, but it sounds like things turned out pretty good.

Personally BVF I like your sass, your brazen approach, yet coated with class. Hard mixture to juggle but I'd say you balance it well.
There's a few on the forum like this ... I enjoy their reads and almost always have a smile while reading.

Keep on keeping BVF!

That's why I like BVF, she does not mix words and tells you like it is. My Grandmother was the same way and Shirley you remind me of her a lot :)

Ha ha thanks guys.... ya.. got kind of reckless with my behaviour after living THAT previous life... but you know, you can't go back. No matter how nice I WANT to be sometimes, when something is happening that I'm so passionate about, it comes forth. It also keeps most people away from me, and thats a GOOD thing, lol.

I don't know how to put that little heart there, or I would have for you BVF. But I have one request/comment for you. Bad as it might have been, please don't trash the ex. I am a retread hubby, and could tell horror stories, but I come here to PTO to relax and enjoy, and that one sentence of yours kind of brought me down. Leave the bad stuff (that really exists, is true, happened) in the past.

Friend of mine told me after my breakup many years ago. You just started cleaning a really mucky stall, fork it into the wagon and put it on the manure pile. It will heat and rot and quit stinking, and then you put it in the field and it will help a bunch of other stuff grow healthy.

I have found that to be good advice. And of course it doesn't work exactly like that. But I once in a while say to myself "That's done, you cleaned that stall, nasty job that it was, but its spread and rotted and helping good things grow, leave it there."

Then I go out to the chicken house or play with the goats. And look at the stalls, and maybe clean one if it looks like it might need it.
