12 pm
Scott and Virgil were both inside the stable. When Snowy came running in with a toy. Jamien came running in behind her and tried grabbing the toy but missed. Virgil was standing inside the stable with his horse, Bailey. Bailey is an American paint tobiano horse. Jamien slowly walks into the stable stall that Bailey and Virgil are in. Jamien lowered his head, walked up to a bucket of water and began drinking out of it. Virgil noticed that Jamien would quickly turn to look at Bailey and then back to drinking. Jamien stopped and started licking his lips of the water still on his lips. Virgil turned around to grab the saddle from the rank on the wall. Jamien stopped, looked around the stall, and saw haystacks in the corner of Bailey's booth. Jamien slowly walked around Bailey to reach the haystack and jumped up on top. Virgil noticed and stopped before he got the saddle and walked over to Jamien.
" Jamien, what's wrong? Are you afraid of Bailey?" Virgil said while leaning on the haystack and looking at Jamien.
Jamien looked at Virgil. Then Bailey made a noise, and Jamien nervously looked at Bailey and moved closer to Virgil.
"You okay, Jamien?" Virgil said while kissing him on the head.
" Bailey came here, girl", Virgil said while holding a hand and moving his hands towards him.
Bailey started to walk over to both boys and stopped just behind Virgil. Virgil gave Bailey a pet on the neck. Jamien curiously moved closer to Bailey and started sniffing her face. Jamien's tail started wagging, and Jamien turned to look at Virgil. Jamien noticed that Virgil was grabbing a blanket and placing it on Bailey's back, placing a saddle on top. Virgil walked away, grabbed his riding helmet, and put it on. Virgil walked over to Bailey again, placed his left foot into the stirrups, swung his right leg over the saddle, and placed it into the other stirrups. Jamien watched, climbed up on the haystack again, and looked at Virgil.
" Jamien, what are you doing up there," Virgil said while looking at Jamien.
Jamien whined, handed out his left paw, and pawed at the air while looking at Virgil.
" come on, Jamien, you can follow us", Virgil said while looking at Jamien.
Virgil and Bailey started walking out of the stables and over to Scott and Flash. Jamien watched them leave and ran after them. The boys began heading toward a trail. Jamien watches them trot off to the path. Jamien sat down, looked back towards the house, and then at the track. Jamien stopped up, turned around, and started walking towards the house.
2 pm
Jamien was lying on the porch when he heard something coming from inside the house. Jamien lifted his head and turned to look at where the sound was coming from. The sound got louder and louder. Jamien jumped to his feet, looked at the open front door, and slowly moved closer. Jamien poked his head into the door. The sound was coming from the lounge room to his right. Jamien was confused and slowly moved closer to the room when he saw Gordon and Alan sitting on the couch playing a video game. Jamien walked over to the couch's side and sat on the floor.
" Hi Jamien, where did he come from? Gordon asked Alan while quickly looking at Jamien and returning to the game.
" Since Scott and Virgil have been out for a ride with the horses. Remember, " Jamien couldn't go with them because of his condition," Alan answered while pausing the game.
Alan patted the coach. Jamien stood up, jumped up on the couch, and lay down on the couch.
" Jamien came here", Gordon said while patting the coach.
Jamien looked, then laid his head down again and sighed. Gordon and Alan looked at each other and returned to playing their game. When Scott walked into the room, his riding clothes were dirty and dusty for the desert conditions outside. Scott took off his riding shoes and gave them a bang. Jamien heard the shoes bang together and scared him awake. When Scott returned, Jamien looked around the room to find where the noise had come from.
" Where is Virgil? Alan asked while playing the game.
" He is feeding the horses and cleaning out the stables", Scott said while watching his brothers play the game.
Scott walked over to the couch and laid his arms on the back when he saw Jamien beside Alan. Scott moved his arms off the couch and walked over to the chair sitting in the corner of the room. When he did, Jamien didn't move his head, but Jamien's eyes focused on Scott and watched him like a hawk. When Scott sat in the chair, Jamien stood up, jumped off the couch, and walked over to Scott.
Jamien sat down in front of Scott and started whining at him.
" Right, okay, Jamien, come up", Scott said while patting his lap.
Jamien stood up and jumped into Scott's lap. When Jamien did, Scott made a gnawing noise when Jamien jumped. Jamien turned around to face the other boys and lay down. Scott placed his hand on Jamien's back and rubbed his fur between his fingers. Scott closed his eyes and laid back in the chair. Jamien laid his head on Scott's left arm and closed his eyes.
One hour later, Jamien woke up to a strange sound outside. Jamien stood up, jumped off for Scott's lap, and started walking towards the strange sound. Jamien poked his head around the corner and looked at the front door. The front door was slightly opened, and Jamien slowly moved closer to the door. Jamien poked his snout in the door opening and pulled the door. Jamien stood between the door and saw John and Virgil standing outside near the chicken coop. Jamien's tail started wagging, and Jamien ran over to both boys.
" How many eggs this year, John? Virgil said while holding a notebook.
" 180 eggs", John said while getting the last egg out and closing the chicken coop.
Jamien stopped and looked at Spiky, rolling around in the sheep pen. Jamien walked up to Spiky and started sniffing him. Spiky stopped and looked up at Jamien. Jamien stopped and turned around. Jamien looked at the ground and started scratching the floor. Jamien sniffed the soil that he had turned up and started rolling in it. Jamien stopped and was lying in the mud and began rubbing his head against the ground.
" No, Spiky and Jamien didn't roll in that", John said while looking at the dirty wolves.
Spiky stopped and headed down with his ears flat on his head and his tail trunk under his bum. Jamien stopped, looked at both boys, and tried to shake the mud off his fur, but it didn't work.
" Came on, you two, you both need a bath now", Virgil said while looking at both wolves.
Spiky and Jamien both followed behind the boys.
5 pm
John and Virgil reached the house's front porch and turned around to look at the dirty wolves. Spiky and Jamien both sat down and looked at the ground.
" Okay," John said while sitting down and removing his boots.
" Mmm, John, " Virgil said while sitting on the porch seat and taking off his boots.
" Yeah", John answered while turning to look at Virgil.
" You know Grandma won't let the wolves walk through the house looking like that", Virgil said while looking at John and then at the wolves.
" Some true, wait here", John said while standing up and walking over to the front door.
John opened the door, went inside and closed the door behind. Meanwhile, Virgil stood up and walked over to the chairs in the porch's corner. Virgil sat down in the chair and pulled out his phone.
" Oh my god" " a voice said.
Virgil looked up and saw that it was Gordon. Gordon made his way to the porch and sat down next to Virgil.
" What happened to Spiky and Jamien?" Gordon said while looking at the two wolves.
" Well, while John and I were collecting the chicken eggs. Spiky and Jamien decided to go into the sheep pen and rolled in the sheep's poop and mud.", Virgil told Gordon.
" Oh oka..." Gordon was saying when the front door opened.
John walked out and closed the door. John placed two towels, shampoo, and conditioner bottles between Gordon and Virgil on the table.
" I ask. Grandma said no.", Virgil said while looking at John.
" Yep, you asked, right," John answered.
John grabbed one of the towels and grabbed both bottles. John turned around and looked at Spiky.
" Spiky came on.", John said while walking off to the garden hose.
John started walking around back to the garden hose. Spiky watched John walk around the corner, and then Spiky looked over at Gordon and Virgil. Spiky then jumped to his feet and ran after John. Jamien watched, then followed after Spiky.
" Well, I should be going. We are having fish and chips tonight for dinner.", Gordon said while standing up.
" Oh, should I just get you two your normal?" Gordon asked while turning around to look at Virgil.
" Sure.", Virgil replied.
" Okay.", Gordon answered.
Gordon walked off. Virgil watched him walk over, and then Spiky and Jamien came running around the corner and passed by Virgil. Virgil watched them while both boys were playing flight with each other when John came walking around the corner, too. John was super shocked by both wolves. Virgil started laughing when Spiky and Jamien stopped playing, and Jamien walked over to him and stopped right in front of him. Virgil looked at Jamien. Jamien shook off right before him and got him shocked, too. Both boys and the wolves went into the house and relaxed the day away.
