Cow update

Monday morning I found 2 calves standing in my front landscaped garden on the Christmas light sidewalk edging eating my Japanese Maple and/or the lights on it. I decided I needed to call the neighbors/owners. The answer machine was on so I left a kind (almost apologetic) message letting them know about several things I thought they might not be, but would like to be aware of about the cows and their adventures. I did get a very apologetic call back from the Mr. He says he has never had this much trouble and he plans to go ahead and ween the calves, which will put them in a inner pin where they cannot escape. He also warned us that mom would be mooing loudly and non-stop for them night and day (pain or missing them?). Thank heavens we sleep with a loud fan. As I was in the other part of the house in the middle of the night last night, I realized her mooing would be hard to ignore and sleep through. I hope their owners also sleep with a loud fan.
