Buster's Life on the Farm-The New Arrival

On a small farm in little Parkdale, Oregon there is a cute little burro named Buster. Buster has a pretty good life for a burro on this farm. He has most of the pasture to himself except sharing it with two cows, Mamma Moo and Angeline. Also the owner's little firl comes out everyday to give him treats and to play with him. The family dog, Wrangler comes out to visit once in awhile to fill Buster in with all the happenings in the house. On this particular day in November there was a rumor going around the farm that a new animal would b joining them out in the pasture. The cows were hoping for a new cow, of course. Buster didn't care as long as it left him alone.  Buster likes to keep to himself sometimes. The farmer, his wife and their little girl headed off early in the morning with the truck and trailer. It was getting to be the afternoon and all the animals were wondering where the farmer and his family went. The cows started to get nervous and asked Buster about the situation. Buster wasn't nervous, but called for the family dog Wrangler to see if he knew anything more. Wrangler having free range of the whole farm knew more about what goes on than Buster, but Wrangler does keep him informed. Wrangler said that he heard the farmer would have to drive almost two hours to pick up the new animal. Buster also asked in Wrangler knew what kind of animal they were bringing home. The cows came closer, so they could also hear. Wrangler said the farmer's daughter was excited about getting a "horse", so he believes a "horse' is whats coming home. Wrangler and Buster know what  horses are, but not the cows. Buster told the cows that they are animals like him, but with smaller ears, better man and tail and also taller. The cows didn't seem too nervous now, they figured if it is like Buster how bad could the animal be. Buster wasn't too sure about this horse thing. Before dinner came around the truck and trailer puller in the driveway. All the animals ran up to the fence to see what the farmer actually got. The farmer's wife walked in the trailer and lead out a grey horse. The farmer's wife took the horse into the pasture to meet the other animals. The farmer's daughter followed. The farmer's daughter introduced the horse as Willow. Willow is an older grey mare with still some spunk. She stretched out to sniff Buster, but Buster wasn't getting any closer. The farmer's wife took the halter and lead off Willow, so she could eat with the rest of the animals. The farmer's daughter gave Willow a hug and kiss and walked her over to the food. Buster was a little worried that the farmer's daughter wouldn't love him as much with this new horse. As Buster was thinking that, the farmer's daughter walked over to him, gave him a hug and whispered in his long furry ears, "Your still my favorite and I love you my Buster."
