What did you do in the garden today?

What did you do in the garden today?
Ya they do. It rattles the herd when members go missing. They're all half brothers and cousins, and have been around each other since birth. They'll figure out how to be a smaller herd, and I'm sadly, getting used to not dealing with the bully being around far too quickly, but I sure miss my... -

I lost Angus, the baby of the lot only 8.5 years old, the mischievous one, who would drive all the others and us insane, bucking, fighting, chasing, un-tying my shoes and stealing my hats. And Cosmo, my favorite, at 11 years old, who followed me around like a 220 pound puppy always looking for... -
