The beginning of a new day, and Cassandra was already hard at work.  There were chores to be done, horses that needed to be fed, stables that needed to be cleaned, cows to milk, sheep to shear, cats and dogs to feed, eggs to be taken from the henhouse...  It was a little busier than usual, but there was always something that needed to be done on this farm, one animal or another that needed taking care of.  She never minded the work, though, and the farm's owner was always willing to help.  The pay wasn't too bad either, and the benefits were great.<br/><br/>Also, she had a definite fondness for animals.  Getting to work around them all the time, take care of them, feed and water them and give them their exercise...  It was her dream job, really.  Getting to work on this farm was just the perfect arrangement for her.  Probably why she'd been there so long.<br/><br/>Currently, at that very moment, Sandie was in the barn.  Lifting up great, big bales of hay and stacking them against the wall, stockpiling them for the next few days, when they would be broken apart one by one to use to feed the horses.  It was hard work, but for her well-toned muscles, not too hard, even if keeping a proper grip was hard on such a large object.  She didn't have to carry them far, either, and she always made sure to lift with her legs, not her back.  She had no doubt some animal or other would be by shortly...
