| | Grant's alarm went off this morning. He turned it off and headed for the bathroom. Normally, at this point, I would roll over and go back to sleep until the boys wake up at 7am. That was not going to happen this time. Ricky, our puppy starts barking excitedly from inside his crate. Sara then joins him. I figured they needed to be let out for the day so they could do their business. Grant followed me thinking he was going to let them out instead. We get to the dining room and all of the sudden, Grant says "What in the World!". The dogs are still barking excitedly. I ask Grant what the problem is and he says "There is a horse in our backyard."  In my blurry eyed state, I caught what looked like the form or a horse running in the backyard. I hadn't put my glasses on yet. Grant runs to get some shoes and a jacket and I did the same. Our plan was to drive the truck into the backyard so we could try to ID the horses. We got a look and discovered there were two horses in our backyard. We weren't sure who they belonged to since our neighbor's hoses across the street were still in their yard. It was still somewhat dark. We drove to see if one of the horses belonged to our grumpy horse. Nope not his! We then start to drive back to our house. I had suggested to Grant that we ask Tracy if she knew whose horses they were. She lives across the street. As we were pulling towards our driveway, I noticed someone walking towards us with brindles in hand. Turns out that the horses belonged to our neighbor Victoria who lives next door to Tracy. Victoria told us that they had escaped and decided that our yard looked great since it had a lot of grass. LOL! I got a free lawn mowing service from two horses last night. Victoria managed to gather up her horses and once they left the yard, we let the dogs out before they went nuts. We weren't about to let them spook the horses.
