Mr Buttons new family took the 4-5 hour trip to come pick him up yesterday. He rolled in the mud all morning so Dude cleaned him up and made him handsome for his journey. Dude began to get misty-eyed and decided to take him for a long walk before they got here. He didn't realize the pang of letting him go would hurt like it did.
They got here around 3:30pm. The little boy getting him thinks the family went to Kansas today to pick up a horse for their boss. He begged them to stop by and pick up Mr Buttons. They told him they couldn't afford him right now and would have to pass and wave for now (wink).
His sister took control right off and got Mr Buttons ready. Mr Buttons was very excited. Whenever he hears a horse trailer he wants to go for a ride. He was showing he would do great despite the length of the journey.
They had no issues. Mr Buttons was ready to learn to drive cattle down in the Sangre de Cristo mountain area. Much love to you Mr Buttons. We will miss you dearly. I know you will make a little boy extremely happy.
Dude got right to work this morning drying beef jerky.
It as been marinating more than a day.
I am wrapping gifts and making tags to go along with them. If I have time I want to make pompoms to go on top of the packages instead of ribbons.
I did take time to go out with Wilbur our little ram.
He is adorable.
Angelo is pouting. The doctor put him on a diet. Oh, and Peppermint's tests all came out stellar.
I need to get back to the gifts, then a big fat nap before family dinner and later, midnight mass.
Merry Christmas from Dis-l-do Homestead!
peace
