Ok, so you know those signs you see on people’s front lawns that show a dog pooping with a big X across the diagram. Well Cooper doesn’t understand what the X means and he interprets the sign to mean ”please poop here”, which he does very consistently. I, of course, am not very popular with the neighbors because I always forget my poop bag.
Ok, so on the farm things have definitely changed. About 5 weeks ago Star, one of our ponies died of hepatitis. Then 2 weeks after that my Great Pyrenees dog, SoSo, died of cancer and then last night our other pony apparently died of old age. He was 10 years older than the 16 year old, Star. Because of the coyotes Cooper cannot be left outside alone. My wife and I realize that maybe we should not get any more animals and I look at the 1000 feet of fencing I have put in over the years and think why do I have so much fencing, when now I don’t need any of it.
