I Hate Cows

Posted on Sunday 10 June 2007 at 08:54

in Animals - Post Comment

I'll probably get over it , but for this weekend, I am pretending Cow Patty, Stewpid and T-Bone do not exist. I shall now hereby whine and get it out of my system:

I hate smelling like a cow all the time.

I hate getting peed on by a high-strung Jersey.

Ditto for the poo.

I hate getting kicked by a high-strung Jersey.

I hate having to chase down calves that jump the fence and don't even have the decency to put their halter on first so I can catch them.

I hate getting up at 7:00 a.m.

I hate having sore hands.

I hate having my carpal tunnel start acting up again.

I hate not being able to enjoy a full visit with family because we have to go home and milk.

I hate not having room in my fridge for real food.

I hate milk.


I might be done now. I'll let ya know on Monday night, when my tour of duty in the barn resumes.

I cannot offer any help with the cows, but the carpel tunnel is something I deal with. There is a great book of stretches that when I follow the exercises, my CT GOES AWAY!!!!!
Conquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome : And Other Repetitive Strain Injuries (Paperback)
by Sharon J. Butler (Author), Jacqueline Entwistle Freeman (Illustrator)

I had it BAD - dropping things like my hairbrush. they said surgery, I said no way! and found this book almost on accident. it is worth every penny!
