When the Farmer is sick.....

None of the chickens bring her chicken soup.  They expect to be fed.  Even after all the nursing she did for them when they had the fowl pox.

The pigs don't bring her a blanket when she's cold.  They expect to be fed.  Even after she built them their 5 star accommodations.

The horses don't bring her comfort.  They expect to be fed.  Even after she took them in when no one else would.

The chicks don't give her medicine.  They expect to be fed.  Even after she sat up with them and made sure they got everything they needed when they weren't well.

The dogs don't coddle her.  They expect to be fed.  Even after 13 YEARS of care and love.

It's a good thing the Farmer has a husband.......to feed the animals.
