We went to Grammy and Grandpap's land in Whitt, TX (1 hour, 20 minutes west of Arlington) on Saturday to just have kick around and be together. Grandpap was there with his friend Dick and they were "running their bird dogs" which means they were letting the dogs "stretch their legs" in translation. There are 80 some odd acres and Grandpap is slowly acquiring enough animals for a small wildlife preserve. :) He has 40-50 goats, a donkey, 2 longhorns and about 1,000 fish in his stock tank. There are 2 barns being built right now, one for humans equipped with a bathroom and one for the animals so they have shelter in those crazy Texas storms. They are also eventually going to build a weekend home somewhere on the land after they finish building the new home they are currently building down the road from us in Arlington. We had a blast in Whitt and Jack really enjoyed stretching his legs just as much as the dogs did.
