Theo

Theo woke up with a big yawn, slowly shutting his annoying phone alarm off as he rolled out of bed to start the day fresh! He slowly picked up some random clothes out of his closet before shuffling to the bathroom to take a nice, cold shower. After his shower, he brushed his teeth and rubbed his hair with a towel until it was damp, then put on the clothes he got earlier on.

Theo surveyed himself in the bathroom mirror for a quick moment before nodding in satisfaction, heading back to his room to put on his cowboy hat and boots, making sure his pants were over the top of his boots. Made that mistake once, had to clean mud and dirt outta his boots and the bottom of his pants. Was not fun.

*After getting dressed for the day he made himself a quick bowl of cereal, noting that he probably had to go to the store for the day since he was running out of stuff he needed. Theo hurriedly finished his bowl of cereal, placing it in the sink to wash later. It was time to tend to his animals. Stepping outside, the morning sun warmed his face as a light breeze drifted across the plains. *

He made his way to the horse stables first. "Good morning, girls!" he said cheerfully as the horses nickered greetings. One by one he checked each horse, gently brushing their coats, examining their hooves for any stones or injuries, refilling their water trough. Old Betsy seemed a bit restless, so he gave her an extra scratch behind the ears to calm her.

Next, he walked to the chicken coop. The hens clucked and scrambled, expecting their morning feed. Scooping grain into their feeders, Theo peered inside each nesting box to check for eggs. He collected a handful of fresh eggs, carefully placing them in his basket. On his way out, he refilled the water dispenser and swept out old bedding material.

The pigs in their pen oinked loudly as he approached. "Alright alright, hold your horses!" he chuckled. He scattered their slop and refilled their trough, then mucked out their sleeping area. A few piglets stumbled over each other in their eagerness to feed. "Careful now, don't crush your siblings," *Theo warned gently. *

Finally, he made his way to the pastures, filling the automatic feeders for the cattle with fresh hay. A calf wandered over, nuzzling his hand expectantly. He patted its head before moving on. By now the sun was higher in the sky, promising another warm summer day on the ranch. His animals were cared for, now he had to take care of his own food situation!

He quickly went back into his home to clean up a bit, changing into less dirty clothing and putting on deodorant and a hint of cologne before heading out to his truck and heading off.

After getting groceries and heading back home Theo checked the time, 12:08. Still real early in the mornin' for most, Theo tapped a finger on a steering wheel as he debated callin' his buddies up to go to the local waterin' hole. As soon as he got back on the ranch and unpacked the groceries he called up his buddies, each eagerly agreeing to head off to their local bar. And with that, the plans were set!
