    Congrats on another tableau accomplished! I must admit I’m already having a hard time reading the calf posts and thinking about her eventual demise.

    Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones is a awesome book, the second one to it is pretty good too. Sorry I couldn’t help but notice she was reading it! Dogsbody is another awesome book by her too! Hope she enjoys it,

    Merry Christmas to you and the whole menagerie.

    (I notice that Dumpling isn’t wearing a halter yet.)

    Merry Christmas, Suzanne. Thank you so much for Chickens In the Road! I look forward every day to seeing what new adventures and experiences you have to share.

    :cowsleep:
    That is what I thought! You can’t eat her after dressing her up for Christmas!! Hahahahaha …..
    Merry Christmas!!!!

  26. Sally May says:

    Merry Christmas, and yes, as soon as I saw a hat on that baby, I knew she’ll probably stay.

    I also wanted to ask about Howl’s Moving Castle! Can Morgan please post about it to her blog? Anyone who loves Darcy and Lizzie clearly has reliable taste.

    By the way, that last photo looks like the makings of an irresistible Christmas card. Enjoy the remaining holidays!

    Now I have heard of dressing out a calf, but you really have a whole new meaning to dressing a calf. So doggone adorable. That last picture is so cute I laugh every time I look at it.
    Merry Christmas, Suzanna and Morgan.
