Night in shining armor...or not?

Last night Ashley and I were driving the back roads to get to Grandpa and Grandma Klein's house to take them some leftovers. While I was driving, Ashley said, "Heidi, there was a calf in the ditch back there." I was like, "yeah right," but I turned around to see if it was for real. Sure enough stuck in a snow bank in the ditch was a baby calf. He must have gotten out and ventured down in to the ditch and just got pooped out from the high snow drifts he was walking through and he got to that point and got stuck. Well, I went down in to the ditch and was seeing if he was injured and just found that he was stuck, so Ashley took the truck down to the farmer's house and got the farmer while in the dark in a ditch I pulled and tugged and finally just picked the darn calf up out of the snow bank. He was so cold and shivering and he was just frankly tuckered out. I pushed the calf up onto the side of the road on solid ground and after a few minutes the calf and I started our slow walk towards the farmer's house. By this time, Ashley had returned with the truck and the farmer came walking down the road towards me and my newly found friend. Because he was so tired, we ended up just picking up the calf and putting him in the back of the truck and driving him the rest of the way home. Last night, Ashley and I became heros......in a sense! LOL!
