Many thanks to Ginny Tata-Phillips for sending this info on Demelza, Chet’s June Friend of the Month. Demelza will be the FB profile pic and a signed copy of Up on the Woof Top, the most recent Chet and Bernie novel, is winging its way to Ginny. Next month this could be you. Just send in a pic. The random number generator takes it from there.

“So once upon a time, 5 years ago, I told my farm vet I wanted a mini cow – you know – the ones with the cute haitcuts that are the size of large dogs? Soon thereafter he showed up with a runt Hereford of about 200 lbs. She was a redhead with a hard start in life and was named Demelza (of Poldark fame) She was destined for the stockyard as she was so small and we agreed to bring her to our farm full of rescued animals. Well……flash forward and our ‘mini’ cow now weighs about 700 lbs. She is still runty as full grown she should weigh 2 or 3 times that.

She thinks Fernando goat is her kid and they are always together. She plays with wind chimes and deliberately hits them with her head to make music. And she loves her big blue ball and we love her!”
