Carrie, you are the most kind and caring of posters, albiet opinionated (ha, got you!). No, you are not a cow. I don't agree with all your stances, especially the one about not letting your dog sleep in the bed with you which is absolute BLASPHEMY, but you are not a cow! I love you for your caring and generous advise. Please do not ever stop giving it. Except the part about the dogs not sleeping in the bed. Blashphemy, absolute blasphemy!!!
