#TBT: ”Stupid Turkeys”, v.2.0
This was first posted April 28, 2011. These are turkeys. Trust me. I know. They are NOT bulls in the neighbor’s place… they are Vagrant Delinquent Escapees from our pasture where they rightfully belong eating OUR green grass, not the neighbor’s. Therefore, they are Turkeys with a capital T. Especially since Vernon had already repaired…

This was first posted March 28, 2011. I almost didn’t post this, as I’ve shared it multiple times… but it makes me laugh… this and the few posts before and after. My trip to Nebraska for a dog breeding was memorable! (part two) So, I’d done the Matchmaker part… checking pedigrees and working…
