CONGRATULATIONS MERV & SHANE

Hello readers. We have so much to talk about this month. To start with during our morning paddock talk time one recent morning, Number One came into the paddock and said, ‘stop talking nineteen to the dozen.’ ‘Nineteen to the dozen?’, we asked. ‘What are you talking about?’ So one of the girls Willow, ‘mooogled’ it and told us what it means. What Number One was meaning is that we all talk a lot and the words gush out.! Now that was a bit rich coming from Number One but as we are not rude we decided to bite our tongue!

Well what else has happened? We watched the Royal wedding, have been watching ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and of course, Stratford is getting ready for the Romeos in August with nominations now closed for the eight categories of service people and businesses. The tickets are now on sale for the big night. As usual with any big event in town, us Dollys are not allowed to go in case we forget our manners and do not act lady like in front of the many hundreds of people who will be there. Oh well, one day Bossman and Number One will trust us and let us go.

Mooman and Bossman put our winter coats on about 3 weeks ago and the timing was excellent because a couple of days later it got very wet and cold. Usually we complain about the lack of variety in coat style, but the only complaint some of us had this year was that there were no hats available. Some wanted fashionable hats, others just a beanie for warmth and Barbushka wanted a as i to fte t e Ro e As usual, Bossman gave us that look which suggested to us to get real, stop complaining and to take a look around and see what other cows are wearing coats. He had a point of course, so the complaining ceased after that.

We had our very own celebration at Dolly’s Milk recently. Two of our longest (and oldest!!) customers, Merv (who drives a very big green car) and Shane, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Whew, what a long time to be married. They got cards from the Queen and the Prime Minister and we are so happy for them. They have been coming out to Dolly’s Milk every week since we opened. Congratulations Merv & Shane.

A funny thing happened to us a couple of Sunday mornings ago. When we woke up we saw these two very odd looking animals in our paddock. They were black, squat with funny faces and they made very unusual sounds like grunting and snorting. We had never seen an animal like these as none of our neighbours have them. They tried to be friendly but we were very unsure of their intentions. Bossman came along to get us for milking and he was very surprised to see a couple of pigs – boars actually. As it turned out, there was quite a story to these boys although we have no idea how they got to Dolly’s Milk. You see, they belonged in a paddock close to town and they were seen on Broadway by Colonel Malones statue on the Saturday night - there were even reports on Facebook. Some neighbours along Warwick Road were aware of the missing pigs, contacted the owner and they all came out to round up the boys. The story goes that the pigs overheard the owner saying that these boys were going away the next week to a place that didn’t seem at all appealing so they decided to make a run to freedom!!

Well that’s it for this month. Our customers tell us some amazing stories of how Dolly’s Milk has helped their children and other family members manage eczema and a number of other ailments. Kids are thrivin on Dolly’s
