Dudley and Destiny were married a few Saturdays ago. This was no ordinary wedding. Dudley is a steer and Destiny is a heifer. No great romance happened in one day, so let me start at the beginning. A beef farmer had the misfortune of having one of his steers get a leg caught in some... Continue Reading →

Animals and Pet Days

Colons, Tattoos, and Editing
To celebrate the final rounds of editing my Calculated Cruelty book I got a tattoo of a colon on my hand. The punctuation kind, not the body part. Yes, I'm joking. I actually received these two blood blisters while repairing this fence last week. I don't think I could ever get a tattoo because I'm... Continue Reading →
