It’s finally here: the totally unanticipated,
first annual New Moo Awards, honoring the most exceptional cows and calves of
the Bar D Triangle for the 2013 calving season! (Stay tuned all week for all
winners to be announced.)
The winner of the less-than distinguished Much
Ado About Nothing Award is Clarabelle! Ever since her first calf, Cisco, was
born, her anxiety has been through the roof. An unexpected move on our part
rings an alarm in her already cortisone-flooded brain—we’ve never hurt her or
her calf, and neither did the folks who raised her, so who knows what she is
afraid of—and any sighting of Bodie, our ranch dog, appears to arouse wild
imaginings of wolf packs attacking her calf.
In stark contrast is Panda, the winner of the Que Será, Será (Whatever Will Be, Will
Be) Award! To say that Panda is easy-going is an understatement. She’s always taken
good care of her calf, Pancho, but has never wasted a single second or ounce of
energy worrying about him—or anything else for that matter. It seems that
nothing can ruffle Panda’s feathers!

your worries add a single moment to your life? And if worry can’t
accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger
things?” –LUKE 12:25-26
