It was a two hour trip to the farm and when we arrived, there was lots of activity which is not uncommon. There is always something "up" at the farm!!
Kimmy came running out of the shop (beer in hand) and I got my first Kimmy hug in many months!! There was company at the farm in the form of one of the racing fellows visiting and Jace and Kimmy's friends Mandy and Shaun visiting.
It was good to see everyone and we soon settled into the shop and had a few adult beverages and chatted.
Booko was busy checking out the farm and generally irritating the hell out of his cousin Coors. Him being much older really had no patience with him and kept his kong in his mouth growling every time Booko got close!! He is such an old fart!! He is on prednisone for his bad leg and it really has caused him to gain weight. He is a happy old fellow just could not be bothered by "young pups"!!
Neena, the newest member of Jace and Kimmy's family was not sure what to do about Booko. She is a 5 month old pug cross and Booko was WAY too much for her!! She stayed pretty close to Grandma Gloria but they did sniff noses and at one point she got down and attempted to play. Booko of course is not very graceful and rather a "big lug". He doesn't know how to play gently so we had to really watch him that he didn't inadvertently stomp her!!
Eventually, we headed into the house (Fuzzy's territory). Now Fuzzy, is the "Grand Dame" of the farm. She rules the roost and there is no damn dog going to come into her territory unless they know the hierarchy!! Of course Booko came charging into the house and went right up to her and in about 2 seconds, she batted his nose and taught him who was who!! There were no more altercations after that and it really was quite peaceful for the most part.
There are five cats at the farm at none of them are afraid of dogs. the dogs who visit here all know the rules and there really is no problem. A few of the cats will even "play" with the dogs!! Now, Booko had only encountered Kay's cats - Moglie and Corinna and, neither one of them could be bothered with him. They simply hid from him or they "creeped" him when he was sleeping. Well, the farm cats were not hiding so either you had to deal with them or stay outside and THAT was not going to happen!!
Mandy and Shaun stayed for supper and then headed home soon after that. John and I headed out to the camper around nine as everyone had to work in the morning.
Booko went outside and little Neena was chasing him around after supper and Booko being the graceful lug that he is somehow managed to slam into the stairs on the back deck and hurt his right back leg. Good Grief!! He is now limping and not really putting any weight on it so will have to monitor that situation.
It sounds like Gloria and I are going to be helping clean up the Warman house tomorrow after Kimmy gets off work so that will keep us busy for a bit. Guess I better head to bed so that I can get my beauty rest!
All in all, it was a great day. We are back home among family and LIfe is Good!!
