Thanksgiving in Wyoming

Thanksgiving this year provided some extra excitement beyond the usual gluttonous enjoyment of turkey, stuffing and more. James and I woke up to look out the window and wonder "What is Sky standing on to make him look so large?" Simultaneously we both realized that it was not Sky outside the window but a cow. Thus the chase began.

Apparently our fencing perimeter is not as secure as needed and we had cows in the yard and cows in both the fields. Sky worked really hard to chase the cows back to the other fields.

While Sky is not the best cowdog, he did manage to get the cows out of the field toward Riverton. Unfortunately, we ended up with one lone cow in the other field. James and Sky worked diligently to get the cow out. Unfortunately, before we could get the gate open, the cow went through the gate, carrying it with him. i'd have pictures, but at this point the sub-zero temperatures were having a very negative effect on the camera. So, until we get the fences fixed, we think we have settled with having cows in the fields but not in the yard or near the house. Sky is still practicing his cowdog skills, but couldn't be happier. James and I will be "riding the fence" real soon.
