Before 7:00 yesterday morning, I headed to get a can of diesel for my Kubota lawn mower. I had the truck turned down my driveway and there in the corner of the Meadow I spied Kittie Wells with her little baby. I called Logan and Astrid to come and drove on.
They checked and thought the new one was a little lady. That meant we could keep her. Logan said they were thinking of naming her/him Possum after ole George Jones. Johnny Cash is the sire. I thought the name was perfect. She’s even the color of an opossum.
Kittie was far from the water tank so I carried her two buckets of water. When she left her birthing spot I scooped up the rest of the afterbirth and hauled it away on the mule. Didn’t want it to attract coyotes or buzzards.
Astrid and Logan carried Possum to a spot away from the tree line and closer to the barn and water. They watched as the big horses met their new pasture mate. Aunt Siggie came to say hello to our new baby late in the evening. I’m excited to watch Possum grow up in Galla Meadow!
