Annie did a good job of protecting the ranch again.
I woke up in the tent around 11:30pm this evening to both dogs running and barking. Annie went tearing down past the chicken yard and through the woods. I heard her come back a bit later as a coyote was screaming in the distance. Annie came in and got me, then back outside. She repeated this several times as I put my sweatshirt on and picked up the gun.
.I put my flip flops on and walked towards the sound of the coyote screaming. I filmed as much as I could, but navigating the gun and the tall grass with video on my flip flops was tough.
I got to the bottom of the chicken yard and called both dogs back. They sat behind me and I shot off a couple into the woods. At that point the coyote stopped.
Either he's rounding up the pack for more, or we scared him off.
If you know the journey of Hank, you understand why this moment is big.
It's silly, but I find it kinda funny when men come to the ranch and they're impressed with all of the work I have done.
Man: "You did this yourself?"
Me: "Yup! ...well, with Claire's help."
Man: "Good for you!" or "That's impressive!"
Why is it so impressive? If they could see themselves doing the work, why shouldn't I be able to?
...or maybe they are impressed because they don't see themselves being able to do it?
Bre learned how to drive the tractor today
Can you see all of the swallows swarming and eating all the bugs? That's why I don't have much of a fly or bug problem around here.
