Well Ranchwife, then Cowboyup is one of the good honest ones, and in reality, I am on YOUR side.
If someone is a farmer, you wouldn't ask him to cowboy, would you? But very few will hesitate even a second to ask someone hired as a cowboy to farm. Been there, done that.
I am not the cowboy, I am married to one, but in my profession, when I was hired to do one job, and the boss said, oh, by the way, one day a week, you have to do (something that was never mentioned at interview and was totally out of the realm of my ability, experience or desire to learn) I also went down the road. And that was a good paying job. It wasn't about the money. Don't wet on my leg and tell me it is rain.
We know very well that there are next to no strictly riding jobs left. Our complaint isn't that the bosses make too much or anything of the sort. The Other Half will (and has) always done what is best for the cows, and that in turn is most likely to make the owner (and us) a living.
But on the day he is too broke up to cowboy any more, there will be two options. He can get a town job, or I will close the box he's lying in. I have an idea which one it will be.
