COWIE Has Arrived And I Think She Loves It Here .....

Ok......... I dont know how many of you go and read the Dingleberries site.... which is a little newspaper online sort of site from the Spokane area in Washington State, you know, right over left of the Staples....... well I love the site and have found many wonderful people and blobs via the Dingleberries.......

Well a few months back now.... Davie Boy the 'bloke in charge' had a picture on the site of a dead elk thing that someone had snapped whilst out and about..... well, I made a comment on the picture bit and said something like.......'Oh could someone get me the skull' ........ I was serious, even though I realised that it was just pie in the sky............ BUT OH NO IT WAS no pie in the sky, it wasnt even no bloody rhubarb crumble in the sky.........

Cos this dear dear chappie ((((Starr))))) read me comment and commented that he had an elkie skull that he would be willing to post to me once all the dangly bits of fur and flesh had been burnt off.......... well I could hardly contain me excitement.......

Ok, what you have to remember is that to most people I probably aint the normal run of the mill person....... I think by now most have realised that...... well, we have a handful of little skulls balanced on the beams in me kitchen...... ya know, just like a badger and a little deer, and a mouse lol and a rabbit and some as to what we dont have a clue.......

I tell me minded nippers when they ask, that they are the heads of minded kids that didnt eat their dinner....... I never have a problem with me minded kids now NOT eating all their dinners LOL...... fear is good, right?

So began the story of elkie........ Starr lobbed him in a bonfire to burn off all the dangly bits but elkie broke...... I thought it was all to good to be true......... when....... Starr emailed me to say that even though elkie was all broken, he could get hold of a cow head for me :)........ so thats how COWIE came about....... Starr not only found Cowie, but he said he would post it to me..... all this from someone that I didnt even know..... a kind soul, a dear chappie that I think realised that maybe Im a bit of a nutter..... and ya know that nutters have to be kept amused, right? LOL

Well Cowie was gonna cost a fortune to fly over via an aeroplane, so I suggested that Starr post it so that it comes via land and sea....... even though it would take 6 weeks or so....... it didnt matter......... an that is exactly what dear Starr did........ he packed Cowie up in a computer box with all shredded paper stuff and declared her 'WESTERN ART' on the customs forms :)......... I asked him to write the value as under 30 quid so I would NOT have to pay bugger loads of Import Tax this end........

You still with me :) its well worth the wait lol

So we waited and waited and Starr did some lovely posts on his blob about Cowie......

Well over here I told all me maties about the iminent arrival of Cowie....... they laffed and laffed and well took the piss out of me and said...... Mel...only YOU would want a bloody dead cow head LOL....... Cowie was becoming such a celebritey before she even had docked in England.......

SOOOooooooooooooo Cowie arrived over the weekend....... in the computer box just as Starr had told me she would........ but I could not open the box, I had promised my Jacob that if it arrived when he was not around then I would wait for him to get in, and we would open it together, he was just as excited as me :)..... weeks and weeks the talk in this house and amongst me maties has been about Cowie....... well Jacob was out all weekend and I had been gagging to open her box......... and finally me lad came home on Sunday and we was able to open the box and see Cowie for the first time............

Oh my goodness........... she did NOT disappoint.........as we lifted her out from the tangle of shredded paper she seemed to smile at us with her HUGE gob and beautiful row of teeth..... now, you lot are probably laffing just like me maties have been and thinking that I must of been out in the sun to long....... but believe me........ I LOVE this Cowie........ :)......

And ya see, a few weeks ago, I told Starr that when Cowie arrived from the States, I would take her out and about and show her 'my world' LMFAO......... and that is exactly what I have done in the couple of days that she has been here...... and will be doing over the coming months........ me and me maties are making it our mission to take her to visit as many places as possible and take photos of her enjoying her life now in England :).....

Ya think Im mental right? well, does it look like Im bovvered LMFAO......

So yesterday, was her first day out..... we was only out for an hour, cos she had a bit of ship-lag LOL

I took her down the lanes and showed her a little of me countryside........ and here are a few pictures of Cowie yesterday enjoying herself........



This is Cowie sitting under one of our little sign posts down the lanes..... :) - See where it says 'The Bat and Ball' well thats actually the name of a pub lol, its on Broadhalfpenny Down which is just up the lanes a little way and its famous for being the birth place of Cricket...... but everyone calls the area The Bat and Ball, hence the signpost for the pub and NOT Broadhalfpenny Down LMFAO - we be a funny lot over here.....



This is Cowie when we stopped for a rest, she was sitting under the wild dog-roses and was just looking across a farmers field... :)



This is cowie hanging on the Worlds End sign ..... ya know, the sign I took a picture of the other week and that dear Toadie nicked and used on his blob....... I took this picture of Cowie on the Worlds End sign just so that you can see that the sign is well real and not just a picture I had found upon the internet ...... :)



Here is Cowie hanging from one of our wooden 'Footpath' signs...... these are wooden signs on the side of the road showing anyone that one has a right of passage across a farmers field..... our countryside is famous for having hundreds upon hundreds of little signs pointing the way that one is allowed across fields and they all interconnect...... Cowie especially liked the poppies LOL ........ :)

Hope your still with me....... cos today was JUST THE FUNNIEST EVER........ I had to go to MAKRO which is like this biggish warehouse shop...... ya have to get there via the dead badger lanes...... so I rings me matie Sharon and tells her where Im off to and does she want to come or does she need owt from this shop........... I'll come she says, come and pick me up...... and this is the funny bit....she says........ AND BRING COWIE, we will show her around the shop LMFAO......

So I loaded up me 3 nippers and placed Cowie on a lovely fluffy Ikea blanket in the boot, and I nips round to pick me matie Sharon up with 2 nippers....... and off we go....... we did look out for any dead badgers on the way, we actually drove fairly slow in case we missed any, but there was non to be seen today........

Well, we get to this HUGE Makro shop, ya know, its one of them shops (wholesale) where ya have to have a membership card to get in..... so we find 2 trolleys with 2 baby seats in them and Ellis said he would walk....actually we didnt find them we confiscated them off of these 2 people that didnt have kids with them, cos the trolleys with the baby seat in this particular place are few and far between...... we couldnt find any, when we saw these people across the carpark, and me matie says to me....... go get them baby trolleys off them people that aint got kids, dam bloody cheek of them for nicking the only nipper trolleys...... these people were not to happy, so I pretended that they had been spotted on the CTV cameras and would be apprehended once inside the shop for not having kids with them, so it was best to hand them over...... LOL - this started the first round of giggles from me and Sharon...... so, we place Cowie in the trolley, cos of course she was gonna have a look around and we was gonna take photos of her enjoying herself LMFAO....... but the man on the door took one look at us with 5 little nippers and took one look at cowie and said........ WTF you cant bring that in here....... I said, Cowie was a visiter and it was to hot to leave her in the car........ he said....... I dont care how hot it is.....she aint coming in here..... now get her OUT....... lmfao hahahahahaha - by now me and Sharon was in fits of laughter...... so we went out the door and wrapped cowie up in the Ikea fluffy blanket.... and tried again......... smiling sweetly at the blokie on the door............. he said......... DO YOU FINK I WAS BORN YESTERDAY....... I know she is under that blanket...... SHE AINT COMING IN lol......... so we had to admit defeat and leave Cowie in the car whilst we got what we needed in the shop........

But before loading me car up, I had an idea....... we sat all the kids in the boot of me car, and I went to the front seat to get Cowie..... when I heard Sharon having a karfuffle with some people at the back....... these people only thought that we was shoving the kids in the car boot and was gonna drive home with them all in the boot LMFAO oh my goodness, its all I could do to stop meself piddling me pants where I was laffing so much...... these people was getting a tad irrate cos me and Sharon couldnt say anything cos we couldnt speak through the tears of laughter LOL........ in the end Sharon just told them to bugger off and mind there own business lol.......

So here I have a picture I LOVE.........in the boot of me car in the carpark outside of Makro.... :)



As you can see, Cerys was scared to death of Cowie, then there is Sprite, Ellis who is holding Cowie was mega chufted and LOVES her, then Scabby Jack didnt give a toss one way or another and then Just Jack had a monk-on cos he wanted to hold Cowie...... :)



In this picture you can see the Ikea fluffy blanket that we used to try and smuggle Cowie into Makro LMFAO.......

So ((((((((Starr)))))))) if you could only know how grateful I am, that you took the time all those months ago to read me comment on Dingleberries..... and start a ball rolling that is gonna give us soooooo much fun and laughter, as we take Cowie to all parts of the South of England....... next week we are taking her to the Beach at Southsea LMFAO..... so I thank you from the bottom of my heart......... and even though me maties think/know Im bonkers....... I think they to are gonna get so much fun out of Cowie as we begin our mission of showing our Doodle Cow Skull the sights and sounds of Southern England.......... we will take many photos and keep you all updated of Cowies adventures....

Starr you truely are a 'STAR'.....

And talk about recycling...... one of me cats, ya know, scabby tail-less skanky cat that I LOVES.... climbed in the box with the shredded paper and has now claimed this box as her own :).....



See, nuffin goes to waste in this house :)

Much much Twaddle for a hot and sunny but laughter filled Wednesday.......
