Off to Kit’s Ranch
"Dad!!" exclaimed Kit running over to him. She kneeled down next to him. "Dad!! why are you trying to cart these water buckets?" she asked as she watched the water run from the buckets. "I needed to water the horses," said Dusty. "All, this is my dad Dusty. HE threw out his back and he needs some help with feeding his animals. I help him but it is too much for me," explained Kit. “Well I can help you," said Mistoffelees. Vicki blinked and looked around. "Oh my, I hope he's ok." Victoria had never really been a 'worker.' "Um, I, I..." She thought for a moment, she wanted to be nice but she wasn't a working girl. "I, I , I could help?" She suggested saying it more in question form then statement. Kit smiled at Victoria. She knew she might now have been use to working. "I know something you can do," said Kit. "You can help my dad back to the house and make sure he doesn't try to come help us," explained Kit with a smile. She helped her dad up and walked him over to Vicki. "Here dad, this is Victoria. She is a new friend of mine. She is gonna take care of you. Now dad may I have your bandana from your pocket??" asked Kit politely. Dusty took out his bandana and gave it to his daughter. Kit lifted up her dress and tied it so it would be above her knees so they wouldn't drag. She went over to where some old type of shoes were at. She changed her shoes so she wouldn't get her good shoes dirty. "Come on Misto, we have to feed and water the horses. I helped feed the other animals this morning." Misto nodded. They went and got the water buckets and filled them up. They walked up to the horse’s trough and filled it up. They did that but they did get some water on them. Some of the horses ran up to them. Kits smiled and dragged Misto from the horses. They walked and got more water and went and filled up the trough to the top. They then got some buckets of oats and put that in the feeding bowl thing. The horses raced over to it some mud was pulled up and got on Misto and Kit. "Whoa settle down!" exclaimed Kit giggling. She just then noticed a white mare laying on the ground. "Aww Dasie! Not today!" she exclaimed. She grabbed Misto's paw and ran over to Dasie. "What's the matter with her?" asked Misto. "What you think? She is pregnant and I think she is gonna have her baby!!" exclaimed Kit. "Waa.... What are we gonna do??" asked Misto. "Well my dad can’t do it and the cat that usually helps us deliver horses is gone. He is gonna be back next week but this foal is coming out today!" explained Kit. "Come on! We have to get Vicki and Electra we need all the help we can get!" They ran back to the house and inside where Vicki and Electra was in there. "Come on we have to get some towels. Dasie is about to have her foal and I need your help," explained Kit going and getting some towel. "All right lets go." As soon as Vic got in the house they had come for her. She nodded to Kit and took some towels, following her outside to Dasie. Kit stopped and picked up an extra bandana before they left. She turned around. "Here I need to tie this so you wont get your dress dirty," said Kit tying Vicki's dress up past her knees. They ran over to where Dasie was. She was breathing hard. "Misto do you know how to deliver foals?" asked Kit. "Um not really," said Misto. Kit made a face. "Never mind I will do it myself," she said. She kneeled down into the mud not caring to get her legs all muddy. "Have you done this before Kit?" asked Mistoffelees. "Um, no, but I have seen it a lot though," said Kit. She pulled some gloves on and looked. "Ok guys I see a head," said Kit. Mistoffelees knelt down to see. Kit reached her hand in to help the foal out. Misto helped. After a while they got the foal out. It was a white colt that had a star on his head. "I will call him Star," said Kit. She smiled. She grabbed a towel from Vicki and cleaned the colt some. Just then Star tried to stand up but failed. He tried a couple of more times and he finally stood up. "Wanna touch him?" asked Kit. Mistoffelees petted Star with a smile. "Hey little guy," he said. "Go ahead Victoria wanna touch him?" she asked standing up. Kit looked down and she had mud all over her white legs and she had some mud on her cheek from earlier. Her dress had mud on it too. "Darn," she said trying to brush the mud off her dress. Just then a black stallion walked over to the group. "Oh don't worry Boom you have a safe colt there," said Kit patting Boom on the nose. Vicki smiled. "Star is very pretty," she said gently and softly petting the little colt. Star neighed and went over to his mother. Kit smiled. "Well let’s leave this family alone and get back to the house," said Kit. They walked back to the house. Once Kit got in she saw her dad sleeping. Kit smiled and went over and kissed her dad's head. "Well thanks guys. Well I gotta start supper soon and I gotta get washed up. So see you guys later," said Kit. "Hey want me to come back tomarrow to help you feed the animals?" asked Misto. "Hey that would be great!! Come early in the morning! Well, bye guys," she said and they left. Kit went up stairs to wash off. Victoria felt a bit like the odd cat out, and so she nodded to Kit as she left, turning and walking lightly outside, there she pet her horse gently before mounting it..... Mistoffelees mounted his horse. "So Vicki what do you think about Kit?? I think she is really nice, don't you think? She loves her dad so much," said Mistoffelees as his horse walked slowly. Victoria nodded. "I do think she is very nice." She paused. "Very nice of her to take care of her dad." She rode her horse with her legs to the side like a lady would, instead of the 'male fashion.' | |
