Samantha Cole leaned down and patted a small young calf on the ground as she walked towards Mary’s paddock. Mary is Sam’s cow. Sam had trained Mary to cooperate in a rodeo when Sam competed on Topone her horse. Topone is well trained and instantly obeys Sam’s commands. Sam continued toward Mary’s paddock with her rope halter. When Sam whistles Mary comes trotting in a cow way up to the fence. Sam slips the halter on and at the same time slipping an apple slice into Mary’s mouth. Sam hears the warning bell for breakfast to tell the dudes to hurry up. Sam starts running quickly to help Mama serve up the dudes. Sam lives on a dude ranch where people, or on the ranch “dudes”, can help out, explore, and have fun. When Sam reaches the house she can already tell what’s for breakfast. Biscuits and Gravy with pork sausages on the side, orange juice or milk. Sam washes up and waits for the dinner bell while she pulls on her kitchen gloves. Finally, when Sam is in her position the dinner bell rings. Dudes come flowing in full of chatter of what they plan to do that day. Then Sam busies herself pouring gravy onto crumbled biscuits as dudes pass her. One girl even remembered to say please and thank you. After all the dudes had their food Sam serves herself and sits at a table in the smaller kitchen for her family.
