A Trip to the Farm

This past weekend we went and visited Matt's grandfather at their farm in Campobella, SC.  He has been begging us ever since we got Tiger to visit him and bring the dogs up to play on the farm.  So this weekend we did and the dogs seriously had the best time ever.  I have never seen Grady and Tiger so happy in all my life, haha!  They had quite the adventure discovering cows, chickens, horses, and goats!

This is right when they got out of the car and started exploring...

When took them down to one of the ponds to swim.  Half of it was still frozen solid, but the other half had dethawed.  I didn't know if they would get in the icy water, but they wasted no time and jumped right in.

After a awhile we took them to yet another pond, but this one had a dock. Papa wanted to see if they would jump off the end- no such luck.  We would throw a stick and they would bark at it until we threw them in after it!

Grady was still a little scared...he sat out a little bit and just watched Tiger in action, haha.

Finally Tiger was willing to jump off the little dock by himself!

So after all the swimming we came back and Tiger discovered cows.  He didn't really know what to make of cows so he just started barking...they did not like that...especially the big bulls.

After the cows, he walked down to other pasture see the horses.  We decided that Tiger looks like half dog half horse- we call that either a "dorse" or a "hog".... I'm gonna go with dorse.

The horses surprisingly didn't mind these little annoying dogs.  I think the horses thought Tiger was one of their own after he licked a horse in the face.

Tiger thinking of a way to get closer....

Matt thought that it would be funny to tell me to get a "picture with the horse" but really he only took one of the horse's butt and me..ha. ha.

It was Grady who finally squeezed inside and roamed with the horses.  We were terrified he was going to get kicked or trampled...but he survived some how.

Eventually Grady showed his friend Tiger how to get through and they grazed the pastures just like the other animals :)

All in all we had a great time at the farm!
