Kyle's New Job?

It seems Kyle has a new "job".

A couple of weeks ago,

he took on the task of burying the neighbor's

horse in the dark and rain.

Then last week Brock (next door) lost Wilma, 

one of the two pigs he raised from wild piglets.

Kyle was great friends with Fred and Wilma.

Fred is still hanging in there.

They are about 9?

(Brother and Sister...)

So Brock asked if Kyle would handle burying her.

(Brock wasn't at the farm at the time, and his

hired guy isn't very proficient with the tractor...

he's more of a gardener type...)

And then, of course, we lost CJ on Wednesday.

CJ and Buddy in the front yard, the day before he died.

And yesterday a family Rod has Home Taught

for several years called and said they were

having an elderly mare put down and could

he come bury her for them.

This is NOT a job he wants.

He does it well, but his equipment really is

not the right equipment for digging

deep holes.

He really needs a backhoe or an excavator.

And much as he would LOVE to own those,

he doesn't have the quarter of a million dollars

to be able to invest in the ones he would want.

So... Nope.

But he is always willing to help a neighbor.

However, he is looking forward to this "season" ending!
