To be fair, it is not all darkness and despair here at the Lair. This morning the dogs did join me on a short walk around the neighborhood. Maeve is much more energetic than Dani, but both still came. When I got back to the house, it was time to water the yard. This gives the outdoor cats an opportunity to follow me around. I had at least five with me. The dogs are outside in the front yard with me as well, just sitting and looking around.
As I was wrapping up this morning, I noticed Fainà watching something on the other side of the cul-de-sac. I followed her gaze and saw one of the neighbors cows was out. I thought I wouldn't get any more visitors because those neighbors had fixed all their fences. I guess it's an ongoing problem. Best of all it was Lady Bob, who was a frequent visitor from last year. Lady Bob because her ear tag reads 808. When I went closer I saw she had brought a friend, Agent 001.
The cows eventually came onto the property. They were kind enough to eat some grass that I was planning on cutting. They tried the roses but those weren't to their liking. Eventually I hear Richard the neighbors 4x4 racing up the street. I alerted him to the cow presence. I stopped calling him about the cows because they really aren't a problem for me. But Richard was a bit mad. Agent 001 gets out all the time more so than Lady Bob. Richard did look at me funny when I referred to his cow as Lady Bob.
I did notice on Richard's 4x4 ATV that he had a gun holster and mentioned this to him. I guess there is a mountain lion in the area and it ate a few of his newborn calves. The cow problem was quickly sorted as Richard shooed his cows home.
Ah, the excitement of country living.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
