The fellows were off to the city after lunch to try their hand at all the artillery at the Calgary Shooting Centre. Helen and I went out caught Slim and I got him trimmed up for Mom of course in the hottest part of the day at 28 and hotter in the barn. At 3 we caught Bird, Hawk, KD and Pepper, loaded them up and headed to Moore's after 3 in the heat but as we got closer to Moore's temperature dropped and a storm threatened.
The first 3 were done quite quickly then Bird was up having flexion test, chiropractic treatments followed by her dental adjustment. The poor girl was still quite drowsy when B loaded her up after 6. B had to stop at the race track for a colic with Dr Jordan and we set off for home. The fellows had finished up, stopped in town for refreshments and were at home when we arrived. There was a tornado warning nearby but luckily it never came near us.
B was home soon after Helen and I unloaded the horses and were back inside. We changed quick and were headed to town for a late supper at OJ's. Thanks Illingworth's for supper. Rain came down as we ate but had let up by the time we arrived back at the ranch by 10:30. A cougar had killed a yearling nearby so Britt was out checking the horses in the dark to make sure all was well before everyone was off to bed.
