Life on the "Farm"

~ Molly's new roommate
~ "hey, come back here, I want to play!" says Molly
~ getting to know you!

Our dog Molly has been enjoying running around in our pasture with lots of room to stretch her legs; but with summer coming and the weather warming, we really needed a living, breathing, (eating!) "lawnmower" in that pasture to keep the grass from getting too tall. So when our neighbor inquired about the possibility of putting his calf in our pasture, we were thrilled! Our neighbor said it was not a problem to leave Molly in the pasture, too, since he thought the calf and the dog would get along fine. Today was the big day; and so far, everything seems to be going fine. The calf--Sweetie Pie is her name--knows how to kick if Molly gets too bothersome. I looked out the window a few minutes ago, and it looked like Sweetie Pie was trying to settle down for a nice nap, but Molly was bugging her to get up and run around. It will be interesting to see how they interact as they get used to each other!
