Uggghhhh

Trey and Nicholas have in the past few months taken to riding their bicycles in the middle of the road in front of our house. My parents have told them repeatedly not to do that, and reminded them of how dangerous this is. Today, Trey and Nicholas had been riding their bikes in the road pretty much all day. My mom and dad kept telling them not to, but they still wouldn't listen. They decided this afternoon to go fishing at the part of the creek that runs outside of the pasture, right on the side of the highway. Mylo has always had a habit of following them around, so of course he followed them there this evening. Well, to make a long story short, he got hit by a car. He's always been really scared of cars. When he heard one coming, he freaked out, and Trey tried to grab him, but Mylo ran toward the house, and when he crossed the road, he got hit. He's still alive, but his left hip is in a mess. He doesn't have a cut on him, but he can't walk on his back left leg, and his hip is in a funny position. I'm taking him to the vet in the morning. He doesn't seem to be in a whole lot of pain unless you touch his leg, but I'm worried about him having internal injuries. So I suppose we'll see how that turns out...

In other (happier) news... When my dad got home last night, he heard a cow calling a calf. We only have 4 cows here, and none of them have calves, so we took it that one of them had had her baby. (They're all pregnant right now.) Mom and I walked all around the pasture to see if we could find the baby today, but none of the cows had given birth yet. We did however realize that Daisy was having contractions and losing her mucous plug (sorry if that's too graphic haha) so hopefully she'll have a calf in the morning. Cows usually give birth at night because there's less chance of them being bothered by predators at night. So anyway, I'll let you know how tomorrow turns out for Daisy and Mylo.
