Loose Cow!

After thinking about what happened yesterday, I decided that a letter to the Editor was not good enough.   The crap I had to go through yesterday dealing with both Sheriff's Departments was completely unacceptable.   I ended up revising my letter to the editor and faxing it to the Marathon County and Clark County Sheriffs, with a copy to the Abby Police Chief.     I spoke with the Clark County Sheriff about an hour after sending the fax and he agrees with me that what happened was horrible.   He said that they were going to investigate the matter and get back to me.  I just found out at about 8:30, that I had a message from a Clark County investigator earlier today.  I'll have to call her back tomorrow and go from there.   I'll be sure to let ya'all know the results!  

After reading what a friend wrote on our forum, I realized that it was time for cell phones.  Aaron and Erica both now have cell phones so we'll never have to deal with something like that again.   Aaron is paying me the monthly fees for his, and Erica will work off the monthly fees by working for me at the store WITHOUT complaining!   That's the key -- NO complaining!     She readily agreed!    

If you had asked me five years ago I ever thought Greg would be chasing a cow, the answer would have been a resounding "what are you smoking?"    BUT, that's just what happened today!   :D   Greg was outside around 1 p.m., letting the chickens out and feeding them, when he turned around, and there was a cow in our back yard!   :lol:      He called to tell me he'd be late to come in and help me because he was chasing a cow!    :lol:   He went across the street and it turns out it wasn't their cow!  It was a cow that managed to cross Highway 29 (65 mph speed limit & LOTS of cars/trucks!), and meander into our yard!   By the time he called me back, it was about another 1/2 mile away!  Our neighbor was going to go chase it down with his ATV, as there was no way GREG could chase it!   :lol:  :lol:

This was not the first instance of a loose cow around here, but the first time there was one in our yard!    I wish I had been home to take pictures!  



Happy Trails!
