Let me start this by saying about 2 weeks ago we added electric fence to the inside of our cattle panel paddock. The horses were always itching on the fence and gate, loosening posts...etc. The e-fence has worked beautifully teaching them that pushing on fences is no fun.....
Well, today it is mom and son day here at our house.
: Hubby's working and Ash went to the street festival and fireworks with friends.
So that leaves me and Will and the 3 dogs. We spend our day practicing going potty, well he does...I am pretty good at it
: playing with the dogs and just enjoying the day.
It is a beautiful day here. Ash's horse Banner still has a bit of a bum leg so I don't want to put him in our hilly pasture. Buck can surely use a bit o'grass and to stretch his legs...I put Banner in his stall, halter Buck and off we go. Will drives his gator and I take Buck down to the pasture.
All goes well there and I go back to the paddock to let Banner out of his stall. I let him out and head back out myself...........pup is attempted to dig a hole to China and Will is trying to hook up anything he can with a dog leash...and I am trying to be the mom with eyes everywhere...I am trying to hook the chain when WHAMMMOO!!! :new_shocked: that chain touches the electric fence and I get a big ole shock!!! My arms go numb and I swear I feel a metallic taste from the fillings in my teeth. Some strange goat like noise comes out of my mouth! The pup stops digging and Will stops trying to tie everyhting up long enough to ask whats wrong. I tell him mommy touched the yellow fence wire and got shocked. He laughs and asks why I touched it
:
So then as I decide it's a good time to head in, a deer fly ,which are always dive bombing our heads, lands on my lip and has a buzzing fit! Grrr... I despise deer flies...especially near my mouth.
Any one else have an electric fence story to share? :lol:
