The Cow Whisperer

We finally had a free weekend to escape to the farm for a laid back country weekend. Unfortunately, as soon as we arrived a suffering cow was spotted "stuck in the muck" by Will. This horrible Texas drought leaves quick sand like rings around all the drying lakes. Sometimes a cow goes in for a drink and can''t turn around quick enough to escape.

Will would not leave her side, feeding her nuggets and keeping some fresh water by her mouth to drink. We think she has been there for days and by the time our renter's ranch hand showed to pull her out, she could no longer walk.

After a quick prayer, our good byes, and a few more nuggets, we had to walk away. A tough thing for any kid to witness :(
