A Cow Named Chris My sister lived out in the wood. She liked it there and found she could Do all the things that needed done Without the help of anyone. She had a cow for company. Most folks have dogs, but one day she Had found a calf stuck in a slough. She took him home and there he grew Into a large and friendly pet. She named him Chris, though I forget Just what it was that sparked that name. She'd call him and he always came To get the treats she handed out. It was fun having him about! Upon her knees, she scrubbed her floors And then continued out of doors, Down several steps, before she rose. One day, she did so and then froze. Ten feet away, a cougar lay. He snarled and stood, but in his way A big, black cow came bellowing And at the same time, she did fling Scrub water, which drenched that mad cat, To let him know with no doubt, that, He'd met a pair who'd not allow Him to harm that girl or cow! He took off bounding for the brush And right behind him, in a rush, Came Chris, with noises that would scare Most anything that lived out there. Of course my sister thought that he Was wonderful and I agree! Betty Lou Hebert |

How wonderful. It is amazing how every animal has such potential and to think we eat them. Hurrah for your sister and her cow named Chris. Love, Joyce |

Dear Joyce: My sister was a braver soul than I, living in the woods by herself. We never realized how stalwart a friend a cow could be, until this happened. Thanks! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Deaqr Marge: This was my youngest sister I wrote about and she was an intrepid soul! The pioneer blood must have flowed strongly in her veins. She was fiercely independent and thought she could do anything and she did a lot, before dying at an early age. Thanks for commenting! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |
