He Wants To Be A Cowboy

On Monday night, while we were working on the living room, I happened to look out the window. "Mike, there is a cow in our back yard". Off Mike goes to let Jacob know his cow is out, so I went outside to be the cow spotter in case it decied to wander off. Then I realized it was not a cow, it's a bull. Ok, I was being cautious anyway (hey, cows are BIG!) but I was even more cautious now. Mike came home alone and said Jacob would be here soon. He parked my Trail Blazer across the mouth of the drive to encourage him to stay here until he could be packed off to his ladies in the field next door. He just roamed around eating the fresh cut grass - we think that was why he visited us. When Jacob came to get the bull, he had a big stick for herding it, and 5 very small children to help ( I think they were aged about 8-4), both boys and girls. Jacob told them where to stand and then tried to make the bull go back through the fence the way he came. No go. OK, we will have to take him down the drive way and through the gate. Move the children alone the driveway to keep him from running the wrong way, and Mike moved the car. Where am I, you ask? Hey, I've seen the "Running of the Bulls in Pampalona" on TV, I'm behind the grill in easy reach of the garage door should I need to duck in there. Mike used the blazer like a modern day cowboy, chasing it up front and flashing the lights to make it want to leave the yard. The oldest boy (about 8 remember) holds open the gate to the field and in he finally went. Mike wished it had been one day later that this happened so we had some real entertainment for the Chinese deligation!!
