Petey gets in the Corral

This was an interesting morning out at Leroy's place. Fortunately the thunderstorm was mostly over when I went out there, but the rain kept up till I was finished feeding the horses. Petey escaped when I got there and opened the gate, and this time he decided to break into the gate by the pool. I had finished feeding the horses and cats was just standing there waiting for Thunder to finish so I could open his stall door, and I saw to my horror, Petey running loose in the corral. When he escaped I decided that I would deal with it after the horses were fed since they were starting to leave when I got there. I could see a stampede coming once the horses noticed he was there. Petey always harasses the horses while they go single file by the side of the house to the front field. Luckily they didn't see him and he didn't see them. I locked the tack room right away and ran toward the house and Petey followed right behind me. Leroy has a new lake, or is it a river, where the ditch was for the electrical work on the new barn. I guess its a lake since it isn't moving and is only 2 or 3 feet deep. The new bridge came in really handy for that and I got to the house and fed the dogs. They were both soaked and neither would eat right away so I spent some time coaxing them. Then on the way home I almost hit a deer crossing the road. He saw me at the last minute and dodged, and I saw him glide over the fence on the other side of the road in my rear view mirror. Its sunny now though they expect more rain later, but now I've got one more trip under my belt.
