Normally, I am pretty tongue-in-cheeky; but today I am talking about something very serious and very sad: loss of life.

As many of you may know, or not, the River Brazos seriously flooded several days ago. A few people lost their lives, but many, many more animals died; and those that managed to survive were often seen standing knee deep in water, or on tiny islands lost in the middle of the vast flood. I have posted a short video showing cattle and horses caught in the flood (you might want to mute the sound, though). People did all they could to help out, but most of them had to think about their families first. I am just glad it is high and dry where I live. Not that we haven’t received our fait share of rain, mind you: there are puddles all over the pasture, the ditches are still full of water, and the ground underneath my hooves is quite squishy. And it’s supposed to rain again this weekend!
