Got something to say? Email me at fastweedpuller at gmail dot com.ON CRYING OVER SPILT MILK
"At the onset of lactation any animal mother's body starts channeling everything she eats into what is not just "nature's perfect food" but nature's ONLY food for a newborn navigating the complex early stages of growth and development. Of course, nature never meant this precious substance to enter the outside world. IT'S WORTH RE-EMPHASIZING THAT MILK AS IT EMERGES FROM THE NIPPLE IS AS MUCH A LIVING FLUID AS BLOOD, DESIGNED TO GO FROM THE MOTHER'S MAMMARY SYSTEM TO THE INFANT'S DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WITH NO DETOURS. Once it is sidelined into a pail or a tank, its major components begin undergoing multiple interactions with the forces of irreversible chemical change." [emphasis mine]
--Anne Mendelson, MILK: The surprising story of milk through the ages. New York: Knopf, 2008, p. 63.

oh, El, elle est tres tres chic, ta chevre…
Heh.
Aw. That made my day
Did she try to get it off?
El, I hope you don’t mind me hijacking the thread, I really apologize. I wanted to get a message to Sparrow, and this is the only way I could think of to do it.
Sparrow, I can’t seem to comment on your blog (or any other on Blogspot) for some reason. Do you know what might be going on? I just get a “Bad Error 400″ message. Its been going on since Monday of this week.
El, again, sorry for the hijack.
Awesome! Does she seem to appreciate it?
I think she needs a little hat.
Looks like the turkey in the background is like “hey! wheres mine?”
At any rate she looks cute with the coat and hopefully it will keep her nice and warm!
El, this made me smile instantly! To me, she looks like she’s staring at the turkeys and thinking them odd for not also having a coat
How does she like it?
So great!
