Wow what a crazy month. February has gone by so
fast and March is almost over. Here is a list of some crazy and sad events.
1) On Feb. 11 we went to go watch Jill's basket ball tournament in Bow Island. Her team won all the games. They did an awesome job.
2) On Feb. 12 we went to go watch the tournament at 11:00am. After the game we thought we would go get something to eat. So we went to a Chines restaurant and we all ordered cheese burgers, fries and root beer. Jill's team decided to go bowling so us Lee's decided to go back home and do some yard work. While we drove home we decided to go feed Gooby while we were on the road. So we pull up to the barn to feed. I get out of the van and walk to the barn like everything is fine and normal. When I enter the barn i had a feeling that something was wrong. A huge hay bail was in the way so i could not see the steers or the calves. I first looked at the pen were the steers are. I only saw the two brown steers. Where was Gooby. I looked over to where the calves were and Gooby was with them. Gooby had to of jumped over the piece of wood that was separating them. Then i could hear water splashing. I looked over at the water trough and one of the calves had jumped into it. Its head was twisted and hung out of the medal fence. I started to panic. I tried to lift it from the water trough but it was way to heavy. I flew to the house and knocked. No one came to the door so i ran back to the barn to see if i could try to lift the calf again. Running back and forth with tears running down my face sure made mom worried. Mom came running to the barn asking what was wrong. I tried to talk but i was in so much shock i just showed her. Mom started to panic as well. We both tried to lift the calf out but it was way to heavy. There was nothing neither of us could do. So i ran to the house again and pounded on the door. Again no one came so I ran in the house and tried to find Tonya. Sorry Tonya i still feel bad for running into your house. Anyway I found Tonya in the laundry room. I tried to talk to her but i could only mumble words. She yelled for Ryan to go to the barn. I ran back to the barn and found mom scooping water out of the trough. Ryan came and lifted the baby calf out of the trough. This poor little calf was full of water and it kept on kicking it legs. I was a mess. I was covered in water, mud and poop, plus i was crying. Tonya and I got straw and put it around the baby calf, trying to keep it warm. We kept moving it legs so we could get the blood pumping. Brayden found blankets so put that on the calf and heaters. While trying to keep the little calf warm we decided to give it a name. We all agreed that his name should be Fighter. Tonya and I had a good talk about the atonment and animals. It was Brayden's birthday and so his Relatives would be there soon and would know what to do. Soon Brayden's grandpa came and took care of the calf. We gave the calf a shot and pit a garden house down the calf's throat so it would be easier to burp. Tonya told me to go inside and take a shower. After getting washed up I thought i would go back to the barn and go see how the calf was. When i got there Fighter took his last breath. (bad time to walk in) I cried. Ryan and Brayden's uncles took the baby calf outside to the burning pit. We all went back inside the house to celbrate Brayden's birthday. I am really sensivte towards animals. So that was a hard day for all of us. I am so thankful for the atounment and good friends.
