Bonner pulled up to my house, I always had a set so I didn't need to worry about getting in. Richard pulled up to me unlocking the front door. He helped my grandpa raise bulls before I was old enough to.

I got the barn keys from the house and ran to the barn. I quickly opened it up and was greeted by the two dozen bulls inside. "Rusty." I called out. He came bounding out of a bull pen barking and yipping. "Hey buddy." I said opening the office.

This dog could push buttons on anything including grandpa's life alert. I'm guessing he's the one that saved grandpa for an hour or so.

I dug into his filing cabinet as Rich came in. "We're all going to miss that man that raised you." He said. Rich was like a second grandpa to me so I had family blood and not.

I finally found grandpa's will and sat in his chair. I read it over once, twice, thrice. It was printed in black and white. 'Everything goes to my granddaughter she may do whatever she wants with it.'

"Rich you know I'll be starting PRCA in March so I'm going to let you have the bulls. Take care of them. Any medical care and treatment let me know before you pay a cent." I told him as I got out the bulls' breeding papers. I handed him the papers and added. "Please take care of the ranch until I get back in September."

"For you I will take care of it until you return." He assured. "And if you don't mind Rusty here can help me out with your bulls." He added. "Not at all." I replied.

I went through the rest grandpa's truck was going to go with me so I can use it for my first year. His trailer was going with Richard so he is going to be able to use it. Once I was done going over the inventory I got the clothes I needed and put them in the back of gramp's truck.

"Be good for Richie, Rusty boy." I told the dog bending down and scratching his ears. He barked and I got into the old truck. It was five years newer than my first truck. Bonner had to go do something so I took my truck.

When I got back to his house I took my stuff up to my room and put it away. It was Christmas Eve and I had to get the turkey started.

His truck was here but he was no where to be found. I fixed a small dinner and wrapped the turkey in bacon before putting it in the oven.

I fixed potato salad and deviled eggs. After I put them in the fridge Bonner came in with a box. "Do you have a moment sweetie?" I smiled and went over to him. "Always for you." I said walking up to him.

"I think this one could be opened up tonight." He told me holding the box. It was black with a hot pink bow. "You sure?" Then the lid popped up once. "Yes I'm pretty sure."

I picked the lid up, out came the most adorable puppy. It was a red long haired Aussie with a blue eye on the red side while the other eye was hazel on white. I picked it up and Bonner put the box down.

"Do you like him?" He asked. "I love him Bon, he's adorable." I said put the pup in one arm to hug him. I set the red pup down and he jumped up to me.

I picked him up again and rubbed his back then put him back down. He ran off under the table. "Going to have to find a name for him." Bonner told me. I looked under the table. "Jack." I told Bonner.

Jack moved and there was a small puddle. "Jack." We both said. I picked up the puppy and took him outside while Bonner cleaned it up.

After Jack ran around the yard a little he came up to me. I took him back inside and he laid down at Bonner's feet as he sat on the couch. I stirred dinner and told Bonner it was ready.

As we ate Jack kept trying to get a bite to eat. "I bet he's looking for food." Bonner said getting up. He went outside and came back with two bowls and puppy chow. I watched as he put food in one bowl and water in the other bowl.

Right away Jack went for the food. I finished eating and went upstairs to shower. His family was going to be here for breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Once I was done with my shower I put on my set of pjs and put his on his bathroom counter.

"Might want to take a shower." I told him. He looked up at me from the table as I walked into the living room.
I sat down on the couch and pulled Jack up into my lap.

A few minutes later he came down in the set I gave him. He picked me up and put me on his lap. "Definitely going to wear these during the season baby girl." He said holding me.

"And I'm going to wear these during the season." I replied. He kissed my forehead then turned the tv on. Charlie Brown Christmas was on and both prep and landings. I was curled up in one of his blankets watching the shows. By about ten I was asleep. Never felt movement or anything.
