Before Periwinkle and Stinky start their Adventure, we want to wish our Angels Sniffie and Cory a very happy birthday at the Bridge. We miss these beautiful ladycats so much and hope they are having a BIG party at the Bridge with all our other Angels.
An average dairy cow produces between 7 and 9 gallons of milk a day, and US cows now produce around four times more milk per animal than they did in 1945. Every cow’s spotted hide pattern is unique, much like a human fingerprint, so no two Holsteins look exactly the same. Cows have excellent memories and can recognise faces and recall positive and negative experiences for more than two years.
A cow has one stomach with four compartments and can chew its cud for up to eight hours a day, producing as much as 125 pounds of saliva." They both said "EWWWW" when they read about the saliva.
Before they left, they all shouted together..."Moooo-velous day!"
As they approached the Teleportation Tunnel, they heard music. Paw in paw, they went to check out what was happening. They were amazed at what they saw. Cats and dogs were dancing. There was a goat in a funny hat. A chicken somehow became the parade marshal. "This is purrfect for pandemonium day. What could possibly go wrong?" Stinky asked. Just then...A flock of ducks waddled through the parade. And bubbles floated everywhere. Suddenly, the parade marshal (chicken) shouted out, "Look, it's Periwinkle and Stinky. Come join us!" Always up for a fun adventure, they did!
"I wonder how long your tail is," Stinky teased. Periwinkle laughed and said, "Good luck measuring yours!" Stinky looked behind himself, giggled again, and said, "Oh...right." Periwinkle gave him a hug and said, "That's okay, to me you're purrfect" which made him blush.
They measured everything we could find! In the garage, the workbench was 6 feet long. The toolbox was 24 inches wide. Their whiskers stretched almost 4 inches. Stinky's red sneakers were exactly the right size for his paws. Then they wondered...How tall is the world's tallest sunflower?"And how long is an alligator?" Soon they were measuring flowers, benches, birdhouses, and even each other's ears.
After a while, they grew tired and decided to take a nap. Lots of paw pats and whisker kisses were shared until they both fell asleep. When they woke up, they decided it was too hot outside for their snack, so they enjoyed it in the cool Air Conditioning and once again said how much they appreciated it.
After their snack, they spent time whisker-kissing, paw-patting, and, of course, saying "I love you" to each other. Periwinkle thanked Stinky for not getting into any mischief. She was concerned he would at the parade, but he behaved himself. He thanked her and said he was trying to be good during their Adventures. Stinky visited with Periwinkle's Mom and fursibs and then stepped into the Teleportation Tunnel for his trip home. One last whisker kiss and, with a WOOSH, he headed home. Periwinkle cleaned up from their snack and took a nice, long nap dreaming of next Tuesday.
