Today started out like any other day. I got ready to run some errands and took Lexi out to go potty before I left. We were heading back into the house when Lexi came to an abrupt halt and began growling towards the backyard. At this point I am at the house by myself because Jeremy is already at work. I thought it was the dogs next door galloping over to play with Lexi. She gets very scared when they come over to play because they are about 5 times the size of her. (One of them put their front paws on my mom's shoulders and it was as tall as she was-Ha! Ha!) So I go into my "protector mom mode" and prepare to grab Lexi and run into the house. When I grab Lexi I look up and there is a cow staring Lexi and I down right by my garage.
So, Lexi and I run into the house and I grab the camera. I just love cows and bulls and I was so excited that they were in my front and backyard. So I start snapping pictures and having the time of my life because they are close enough to pet. Then they all start moving toward the front yard towards the street. Well, at this point playtime is over and I need to somehow keep these cows out of the street because people fly down Farmington Road. So, I call Jeremy and ask what I need to do because he always has the answers. He says, "Hold on and I will call Brad (his brother)". He calls me back and says, "Brad is in Pilot Point, so you need to go round them out of the road". Knowing that I would not be able to do this, I decide to run up the street where I saw the cows the other day to tell the people that their cows are out. They inform me that those are not their cows and the owner of the cows does not even live here. So, Jeremy tells me to call the police and they can figure out whose cows they are and they can round them up out of the road. The policeman comes to the house and rounds the cows up into the field back behind our property.
I left to run my errands and I am guessing he figured out where the cows home was because they were not playing in my yard or in the street when I returned. What a day!! Maybe it was a sign that I need to get some cows of my own. I doubt that Jeremy will go for that one. Ha!! Anyway, it was fun while it lasted and who knows, maybe they will come to visit again!!!
SNOW DAY!
