Drover and I sat outside the fence, watching. Drover said, “What’s wrong with him?”

“Well, he has to do some work today.”

“Work. What a bummer.”

“Exactly my thought. If he’d been halfway civilized this morning, I might have volunteered to help, but I’ll be very happy to wave goodbye and watch him leave.”

“Yeah, me too. It makes me glad I’m just a mutt, not a cowdog. Hee hee. It’s too cold for work.”

“Exactly right. We’ll take the day off and try to stay warm. If Alfred comes outside, we’ll play with him for a while, then take a nice long nap.”

“Oh goodie. Boy, I love naps.”

Slim opened the saddle lot gate and led his horse to the trailer. I happened to be sitting near the back of the trailer, minding my own business, when I heard him growl, “Move!”

No manners, no soft tone, no “please.” Fine, I could move. He threw open the trailer gate and loaded his poor, sleepy horse, who had no idea what kind of crazy things he was being sent out to do.

Slim slammed the gate and secured the latch. He saw me sitting there. “You ain’t invited.”

Oh really? Well, that was just fine with me. For his information, I had already planned out my day and IT DIDN’T INCLUDE HIM.
