Elijah and I fulfilled our duty as good Fort Worthians by attending the annual Stock Show and Rodeo last week. Sadly enough, that particular day they were in-between livestock so there weren't a lot of farm animals there. We did, however, see some chickens. For a brief moment I actually missed Harold, who laid an egg a day, and Zues, who would jump up to eat dog food dangled from my fingers.
Then I wanted a horse as we walked through the equestrian building. I would not, however, want to do calf roping. I feel sorry for those little guys when they get their necks yanked so hard they fall down and then rough-housed when their legs get all tied up. Bless their little hearts.
My country roots were coming out apparently, because along with the chicken and horse I really wanted an alpaca after the petting zoo.

We played on lots of tractors,
including a cabbed one that had a special little seat so we both could sit in it. I sang "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" while driving us around and dumping loads of dirt from the bucket on things for a good 10 minutes.
We also spent time playing in animal cages,
as well as running through worms.
As we were leaving we walked past a horse that did a half-neigh. Eli said he wasn't sure if that horse was neighing or laughing.
