Buster's Life on the Farm- The Cats

Life is still good for Buster and his friends on the little farm. Willow has eased in nicely and doesn't cause Buster too much trouble. Willow likes to talk too much, but in the Spring/Summer months Buster gets a break from her. Spring/Summer is when the farmer's daughter puts Willow in a smaller pasture closer to the house so she can ride her. Buster doesn't mind, because then that means the farmer's daughter can come visit him without the horse getting in the way. Wrangler, the family dog had heard the farmer and his wife discussing all the mice running around the property. He heard them mention about getting some cats. Wrangler wasn't too happy about that. All he could think of was the cats taking over his doghouse, crawling on him and swatting at hime. He is an old dog and likes the way the farm is already. Buster yelled for Wrangler to ask what is new. Wrangler informed him about the cats. Buster wasn't too worried as long as the cats didn't run around his feet. One Saturday the farmer's wife and daughter left for town and came back with a strange box in the car. The box had holes in it. The farmer's wife took the box our of the car and the farmer's daughter opened it. Out came a calico cat and orange kitten. Wrangler, who is usually at the farmer's wife's feet didn't bother to go check them out. He knew he was in for a change on the farm. The farmer's daughter walked the cat and kitten over to the pasture where they could meet the other animals. The farmer's daughter introduced them as Houdini, the momma cat and Cosmo, the orange kitten. Houdini and Cosmo weren't sure where to go, so they followed the little girl around the yard. She took them to see her rabbit, Rabbi and down to the creek. The farmer's wife set up a nice little bed and food area for them on top of the hay, so Wrangler wouldn't bother them. The farmer's daughter did try to introduce them to Wrangler, but Houdini and Cosmo weren't too sure about dogs. It got to be close to dinner time, so the farmer's daughter lead both cats up the hay stack to where their bed and food was. She gave them each a kiss and hug. Then told them "I love you my kitties, your home now." The farmer's daughter climbed off the hay and walked over to Wrangler and gave him even a better hug and kiss. She told him he was the best dog ever. Wrangler smiled and went off to do his daily duties as the family dog.

A Day on the Farm with Brigid & Jocelyn

In Oregon there is a little town called Parkdale and in that town there are two sisters named Brigid and Jocelyn. Brigid and Jocelyn live on a small farm. On that farm they have cows, a donkey, a dog, 3 cats, and a rabbit. Their Mom and Dada work hard to keep their farm growing. One way the farm grows is with Spring calves. The firls love to see the calves run and play around in the field. The girls always name the calves too. Today was a special day, because there was a new calf born last night. "Daddy take us out to the new baby calf," said Brigid.
"Please Daddy please," Jocelyn begged, "calf Daddy calf!"
"Okay," replied Daddy.
They loaded up in Old Brown and off they went into the field.

"There she is," said Daddy, "doesn't she look pretty!"
The girls went over to look at the new baby. She was all black like her momma and was nursing away.
"She's so pretty Daddy," Jocelyn said with excitement.
"Looks like she'll be a nice strong calf," Brigid said, "What should we name her?"
"Well it's Jocelyn turn to name a calf, " replied Daddy.

"Well Jocelyn," Brigid said, "What ya going to name her?"
"Princess!" yelled Jocelyn with such joy it startled the calf.
"Princess it is," replied Daddy.
