Chain Cow
After a coffee session in our local cafe, I followed Daily Coyote's advice last November and began to blog on a daily basis...
Her blog is EXTREMELY popular...
so I figured she knew what she was talking about!
I have made the attempt valiantly...
though not perfectly...
and along the way...
I have made friends of the internet variety.
Following links...
reading comments...
it is amazing how time flies when you are reading great stories or peeking into other people's lives!
Somewhere along the way I met Susan at www.stonyriver.ie
Lord, she could make me laugh...
She could also make me cry...
She could make me think...
and I began to comment on her blog.
With most of a continent and an ocean between us...
I found a friend.
One that takes wonderful photographs of Ireland.
One that <insert my children's groans and moans> is also a Star Trek fan.
Yeah...
that's me...
I've had the hots for Captain Kirk for a LOOONG time.
<sigh>
<or was that heavy breathing?>
Mensal (Mensan? Mensa-ite? Mensa-ian? I'm too dumb to figure it out!) Susan dreams about Mr. Spock...
Poor Dr. McCoy is left out in the cold again...
In one of her blogs, Susan had a little competition.
The prize?
A tiny bovine from Chick-fil-A that Susan got in the States while on vacation!
I'm telling this because...
I WON!
She arrived a while back.
Kinda cute if you're into that beany baby style...
I think everyone in cities must believe all cows are black and white...
and wanna go live in California...
yeah, right...
Honestly, I had a problem with the cutesy little dairy cow promoting chicken.
You see...
this is a BEEF cattle ranch...
where sometimes we get a tad cranky when dairy farmers dump their surplus dairy cows on the beef market and flatten out *our* prices...
where we promote ALL-AMERICAN BEEF, not CHICKEN!
So while the little black and white Holstein posed with the rimrock and cattle in the background...
I whipped out my pocketknife.
I'd fix the little sucker...
AHHHHHH!
MUCH BETTER!
I have a GREAT idea...
since this little heifer began her "life" on a blog from Ireland...
and came to a blog in Wyoming...
I believe she should continue her travels in blogland...
so...
who wants to be next?
How about you, Daily Coyote?
Or Kari up in Montana at http://montanaforreal.blogspot.com (who routinely makes me spew coffee all over my monitor and keyboard)?
Anyone interested in this well-traveled, miniscule, chain-letter/blog heifer?

PUPPY PHOTO OF THE DAY...
Awww...adorable puppy pic! I throw my hat in the ring for the heifer if she's got a yen for California. Of course, we all know what will happen to her if Charlie and Chloe get hold of her LOL!

Yeah, Shreve would have to take a photo FAST to avoid calamity!

WHERE IS HER UDDER?!?!?!?!?
*shudder*
It's like the Ken doll of dairy cows.
Reply to this
I debated on the gender, myself... so, you want to take a quick pic with "it" and Charlie and Chloe?
Reply to this
LOL Karyn! Methinks you're right!

she can come to Budapest
your puppy is ADORABLE.
And for the record, Dr. McCoy is quite dreamy in his own right. And pretty darn funny!
Reply to this
Budapest? Wow... I think we need to start her a passport!
Reply to this
She'll be an international bovine
Reply to this
She could come visit me in the Midwest, but Budapest does sound more exciting
Reply to this
We'll need to follow her closely... who knows where she'll go?
Reply to this
you could send her my way, i live next door to disney world! there are surprisingly quite a few cows (and horses and donkeys) out here too - they built the park in the middle of nowhere.
Reply to this
Hey! I'm in California - watch what you say about us and our state (of denial? Just kidding) - Sounds like a California tour would be great. We could see about getting a tour of Barbie's Malibu home....
Reply to this
Hey, I know California cows are happy... but, just doubted that ALL cows want to be Happy California Cows!
Reply to this
Heck yeah, we can teach her to be a Montana cow. Email me at karilynndell@gmail.com and I'll send an address to whoever has the cow before me.
Reply to this
Thanks, Kari... Since Daily Coyote is down the road, I'll give her the first shot... then perhaps she'll be headed for Big Sky Country.

OOoOOooo I'd host him/her in a second--in a heartbeat with any number of wild/domestic/farmed critters!!!
Reply to this
OhhhhhK. I think I should mention that I live near San Antonio, Tx!!!
Reply to this
I? Love this. I also have one of those Chik-fil-a cows, but I have never had an opportunity to take such a fantastic picture of her. We'd be happy to have her in North Carolina. No beef ranch here, but maybe she'd like to be photographed at a psych hospital (where I work, not where I live)?
Also? Adorable puppies. And I heart Dr. McCoy.
Reply to this
Dr. McCoy was a Southern Gentleman to the core... I'd take him NEXT! I think this cow may be well traveled by the time it is all over... and NC, I hear, is beautiful! Thanks for the offer!

Hmm...that new Star Trek movie comes out on DVD this week...it's not Shatner, but I shall have to rent it.
I fear little Kendry Cow would get not stay on a fence post long around here. Chan thinks all stuffed animals are his, which has resulted in at least one comical episode where he was zooming around with a pink poodle stuffie that belongs to one of the little girls next door. Thankfully, the neighbors think he is goofy and adorable.

Missed it in theaters... everyone says it was good... but, alas, it won't be Shatner. I'll Netflix it soon!

Hi Carol we've been reading your Blog for a while now. Came here via The Daily Coyote. We wanted to let you know how much we enjoy reading about life on your ranch.
Not sure that little cow would enjoy being with us. We're over-the-road truck drivers and could take her to all the lower 48 . . . but we're not livestock haulers. Ha,ha.
Keep up your great stories and giving us a glimpse into life on a Wyoming ranch.

You can send that moo-cow down to Chloe in Oklahoma!
Reply to this
OOO, a chain cow. I like it. If you send it down here to Texas, I can get a picture with some long horns.

She?? could come to Crowheart to visit her look alike twin - baby Andi, Jersey/Brown Swiss and 1/2 Holstein...who is also granddaughter to Shreve's Daisy
Reply to this
If you're still looking for a place to visit then how about Ithaca, NY? We've got great gorges and lots of green here! Many places for a tourist to explore - whether bovine or not!

CC is visiting me in Alabama. I'm stoked! She's off to TX next week.
Sorry about your Mom. I'm sending good wishes, hopes, and thoughts your way.

I am still up for hosting the wee CC!!! I work at a wildlife rescue organization in Texas and there's no telling who she would meet!!!

Your little cow is welcome here on the east coast just outside Washington, DC. She can visit all the monuments downtown!
Oh, and I grew up in rural NJ, and all the cows WERE b&w !

Taryn, I'll pass that message along... I think she's still in Arkansas!
