Today I woke up feeling like I should check in with Brody about his assignments. Distance learning has proven it's challenges. Brody hasn't complained at all, but he is a little bit behind on assignments. After catching him up for a bit, I found a new recliner for Bry. Emery and David went with me to pick up which was awesome.
This afternoon it was time to take Eve to breed with little Bear. It was obvious when we arrived that Bear was excited to see her. All went well with the breeding, but picking her up to bring her home did not. She was acting very anxious in the front yard, not unusual for her. But I had this thought, I hope she doesn't rip out of her collar!! Sure enough about 20 seconds later that is exactly what she did. As soon as she realized she was free, she took off running!! I took off after her, calling for her, yelling for help from anyone in the neighborhood. Cambree jumped out of the van and tried to call for help as well. My heart was racing, my mind was going through way to many scenarios during my "so called sprint" to catch her. Tow neighbor boys joined the pursuit after hearing my pleading yells for help. After a good maybe 3 minute chase, that felt much longer, we pulled up next to her with the van door open and she bounced right in. She sat on Cambree in the van all the way home, panting faster then I have ever seen. My lungs were burning but my heart was so happy we got her back with us.
Some how with all this happening, I managed to make a Valance for my kitchen window. Yay me!
Cambree, Kelci and I drove to Alpine to find the infamous poppy field. After driving around in a circle for awhile we finally found the trail that led to the flowers. They are so beautiful. We are making plans to return next week early in the morning to see if more have bloomed.
