Leaving my animals for a whole week is something that I struggle with. I usually am only gone from my animals for a week every summer when I go to Ocean City, MD for vacation. But this summer, I also went to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. We were there for a week and it kills me every time I leave!
They were in good hands, though. My cousin who used to show cattle in 4-H and FFA stayed at our house all week. I am always afraid though that while I’m gone, my animals will forget about me for some reason. Like, I will get back from my trip and they’ll be crazy. I think I’M the crazy one.
Usually all my families “vacations” are considered cattle shows, and my buddies get to travel with me, but not this time! I only wish I could bring cows to the beach. Wouldn't that be a sight?
Speaking of not seeing my four legged friends for a while, Matt (my show puppy) was gone since July 31st to August 14th . He was gone for 2 weeks traveling to shows with his breeder. He went to some Virginia shows, and then traveled to Pennsylvania for a show cluster. We picked him up Sunday at his show in Harrisburg, PA. Yes—where NJAS was this year! There are dog shows there all the time. He didn't win anything major, but he won his class at all his shows.
But all was well when we came, now we are just waiting on a cow to calve. She was the due the 15th….
