Fancy returned to the farm last night. She "hopped" off the trailer and immediately started to graze. According to Ben, she had not been able to graze since starting show biz (schools, etc. put harmful chemicals on their grass so she couldn't eat it). Within minutes she had trotted away from the pens into the eight-acre pasture reuniting with Fria and other friends. This morning she was grazing with everyone and moved with the group up for breakfast. If I were to bet, it looks like she has transitioned nicely. Longer term with everyone else, we'll see....
We have purchased a new ATV. The Can Am was a beast requiring boat loads of gas and constant servicing. It was loud and just not a good fit for us. Our new Landmaster is all electric and has a dealership who will pick it up, service it, and return it. I won't have to deal with buying the stuff to service it (waiting on back orders, etc), gassing it up, and trying to find a friend or neighbor to do the service. In other words, less headaches for me. In many ways it's like a golf cart but with more power and amenities like a winch and 4-wheel drive. It still is not lab friendly, but maybe with a rug or two it'll work for the dogs too.
Peg had her other cataract removed last week. All seems to have gone well. It will be good to have her back helping with feeding etc..
The grandkids are all involved in sports of various kinds. Ben with baseball, Beckah with track, Cinco with track, Evie with track, and John Reeve with rodeo. Their parents are very busy driving and attending their activities. Peg just punches in an address, and her car takes her to events all over Central Texas. She has no idea where she's going or where she is BUT the car does and it has not been lost once! That's what Peg wanted, so she is very pleased with her Tesla purchase.
