We spent the better part of yesterday cowboying with Michael. We brought the bulls in for their red water vaccination. The gather was interesting at best. There was a several mile scatter on them, in willows. They fought all the way in and out. We had to keep some separated in different corrals during the vaccination process just to keep things moving.
Then we moved the cows from the late branding out onto the Mesa. The above photo is Bob, Michael and Palmer. The day started off nice, but ended in a slow drizzle.
The very tail end of the bunch getting to the reservoir.
On another note, our cat is VERY sick. If he makes it, it'll surprise us and Vern Aultman. He was sick yesterday morning, and I just sort of let him be. After our very late dinner last night, Bob said, "This cat is going to die." I decided to call Vern, albeit was a very late hour. We took him over there. He probably has been poisoned...we know not with what. Bob wonders about the oil they just put on our road the day before. Prestone? Something someone threw out? Who knows. Anyhow, Vern gave him two antibiotic shots, as he has a very high fever, an oral antibiotic which we have to continue, and three very large sub q shots of glucose water to hydrate him. When we got home we had orders to give him pepto bismol, which didn't go well. As we left, Vern said "I'm very worried about your cat!"
Palmer et al invited us to celebrate his graduation from kindergarten last night at the Chinese place. His folks got him a new rope...as he's outgrown the one he's been using the last couple of years.
The rope makes a pretty good picture frame doesn't it?
