Frank showed up one morning with a smile and a box of chocolates. I was smitten immediately. I
must admit he had me with those twinkling eyes and huge smile but when I opened
up that little golden box and took a bite out of that creamy chocolate treat I
was in love. Frank and I were going to be forever.
I told Frank I was just
about to go and check the cows so I asked if he would like to go, he jumped into
my backpack. I zipped him in after all it can be dangerous on the farm if you
are not careful. He was excited at seeing cows and maybe getting a chance to
run among trees where he had heard tales of his ancestors running free hundreds
of years ago.
When we made it to the
tractor I was having a hard time keeping Frank calm he was so excited and after
seeing the bear bell attached to my backpack he did not want to miss anything
so I let him ride on the dash of the tractor. In Frank’s words “I want to see everything,
well maybe not the Bear.” Since there was not a lot of traffic and he promised to
hold on tight I knew he would be OK, after all this was his very first
adventure.
We pulled up in front of
the cows and I had to grab tight to Frank as he just wanted to run right out
and see them. I told him they may not like that and would probably run as he
was still a stranger so we would have to go slow.
The cows were staring at
Frank and one of the girls was very excited to see Frank’s fancy coat. She had
never seen one like it before but her ancestors talked of coats seen on others
of his kind hundreds of years ago. She was excited, she had heard Frank’s kind
were extinct.
I told Frank I had to go
back deeper in the bush to check to see if there were any more calves being
born Frank said that he was a little afraid of Bears and was enjoying his new
found friends so he would like to stay here. He climbed up in the tree and said
he would wait. He promised me he would stay put in the tree, I knew he would be
safe so I agreed.
After searching and
finding new calf #12 I headed back to Frank. It seems Frank was not as afraid
as he had let on as I found him on the ground talking to a Mother and her calf.
He was a hit; I informed him it was time to go. He said Goodbye to the girls
and promised he would be back tomorrow, we headed for the tractor.
Frank asked me to write
his family in the land far away and thank them for sending him to the farm he
is going to be very happy here even though he will miss them.
So Thank you Delores @The Feathered Nest I will let you know how he is doing. “Frank slow down, you’re going to fall”
Later
How sweet -- I love Frank~ :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great companion and such a hit with the girls! I can see you and Frank out on many an escapade. I wonder.....is he any good at milking!? Well done....a lovely post! Joan
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you to introduce Frank to your herd! Love, love, love that new little white calf! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see Frank getting along well in his new home. I promised him an adventure if he would just tolerate being wrapped in plastic and confined in a box for a few days and it looks like he got just that...a grand adventure.
ReplyDeleteI hope we will be reading about Frank often! Now that you have shared him, it wouldn't be fair to us if you don't!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great new friend. He is going to so enjoy being out on all your adventures with you. He must meet Mom, she will probably want to adopt him but the farm is where he should be.
ReplyDeleteLove You, BA
