I hope to be able to attend First Friday! I'm having a great time. Ask Siobhan about the adventures of, "It's a Gurl Vet". Cow tipping has become a frequent pastime of mine (only for medical purposes, of course). Along with keeping my hands warm inside a cow and acquiring new freckles and what is to be the next line of facial treatment, "beauty a-la-guano". I am contemplating writing my adventures up as "Meg Herriot". No cell phone coverage here; learning to simplify; ironically, when I am on farm calls in Timbuktu, aka Leroy, Falmouth, McBain, Vogel Center, Manton and Lake City (some of these towns have stop signs!) and I have coverage, so if you try to all, you may catch me just as I am delivering kids (goat babies), calves, foals, doing a surgery and other details good company would not want to know about). The people are all really nice. There are a couple of characters. I learned from one of them that hot dogs are a great idea for asking a girl for a first date. Oh, and how can I forget my experience with an Amish farmer that left my head scratching. We went out to to examine a cow at an Amish farm and the wife shouted, "Beware! That's an electric fence!"The other night, I heard some rustling outside of my window and the dogs barking. The next morning a 45 pound bird feeder on a steel pole had been broken by a bear; who happened to run right outside my window. (This was a confirmed bear, no matter how much I protested, "couldn't it have been a raccoon?). At least all he chose to do was to snack on some bird seed. Hope I didn't bore you too much, I miss you all!
