I’m surprised I can look at farm animals, let alone own them.  Some of my earliest memories are inspired by photographs and family stories re-told during holiday visits year after year.  When the dust is swept off the photo albums, it is inevitable that the tales of the adventurous, snail-herding, slug saving, tom-boy of a granddaughter are brought up.

My Mom would never lie to me.  That’s why I knew white cows gave white milk, black cows gave licorice milk, and strawberry milk came from red and white cows that lived in secret places and were very hard to find.  In retrospect, the notion that you could climb to the back of the giraffe using the escalator on its neck should have foiled my Mom’s ruse.  "
