We lost another calf today. Cort's beloved Snowy was dehydrated yesterday and not doing well. Cort asked Brian if Snowy was going to go to heaven. Brian told him that it was possible. Cort shrugged like it wasn't a big deal although I wondered if he would show more emotion should Snowy actually die. This morning when Brooks and Brian came home from doing chores they broke the news to Cort that Snowy had passed away. Shortly after that, Brian announced that he was headed out to pick up some new calves to add to the herd. He told Cort that he could have one of them to replace Snowy and he could even name one of the new calves. When I heard all of this news I asked Cort how he felt about it. This is how the conversation went.
Me: Cort, Snowy died? Are you sad?
Cort: Hmmmmm.....no.
Me: So do you get a new calf?
Cort: Yea.
Me: What are you going to name your new calf?
Cort: Ummmmm....not Snowy. It will just die.
Me: (trying not to laugh) So what will you name it?
Cort: Ummmmmm....Buckin' Bull.
Apparently the name Snowy is forever jinxed at our little farm. Either way, RIP Snowy.
