That October we’d already had a

couple of cold nights, well below

freezing, and Butch and Buster joined

me to check the cows. The cows

were mooing, usually a sign that they

are out of water, and just as I figured,

of ice over it.

something I could use to break the

ice, Buster stared intently at the

corral. Eventually, he walked over to

a flat, frozen cow pie.

“Hey, Butch,” Buster said,

picking up the cow pie. “Look at this

cool toy disk.”

“That’s not a toy disk,” I said.
