I am furious. Checked the Tour de France KAL blog only to discover that Vino had a positive blood test. Now, I've been known to use steroids myself, but come on - I'm just an amateur! I need all the help I can get.
I am sick and tired of cheaters. What pride is there in winning dishonestly???
In honor of the cow I am having over Vino, I present to you the latest addition to my collection of puking animal creamers:
My wonderful mom gave me this lovely, Delft cow last week, and blimey, I am chuffed! (Sorry folks, reading Harry Potter makes me talk British). She is a lovely pale blue color, and like all beautiful cows everywhere, is sporting a windmill on each side.
How cute is she?
Look at that smile! Now that's a trustworthy cow. She's not taking bovine growth hormones on the sly.
I think she is such a lovely specimen of puking animal creamer that she needs her own name. And I challenge you, the reader, to supply her with one.
Submit your entries by this Sunday (the end of the Tour), and help me erase the memory of Vino's shame! I will send the winner a puking animal creamer of her very own, plus a skein of something fun from my stash.
What are you waiting for? Get a mooo-ve on, and hoof it to the comment section to submit your entries!
I think you should name the cow Sherwen, after Paul, a completely drug-free commentator (well, if you excuse the coffee and probably the odd glass of armagnac at the end of a long day in the booth with Phil...)

ohmigod! I have been reading your blog for a while now, and I am embarassed to say that I didn't know you collected these fascinating and gentle creatures. I am totally amazined by animal creamers! You MUST show us more!
How about naming her Anneke... That's a nice dutch name (I think...).

The minute I saw her I said, "That's Molly. Molly-Moo."
She's is soooo pretty in her dainty blue and white...
(((hugs)))

I'm over from Chris' place and I suggest "Tulip" - since they come from the same place as the windmills.

I was so bummed to read about Vino. Delphine, the Delft Cow. :)

I can't help it... I started having a terrible phobia about on-screen puking when I saw "Elvira Madigan" years and years (and years) ago - so I nominate "Elvira" as your cow's name.(I'd say "Madigan," but it sounds too yuppie.)

I'm still kind of weirded out by the body art on that puking cow...

Daisy Blue. Puking animal creamers are the best.

Wilhelmina. No clue why--she just looked like a Wilhelmina.

Well...my first thought was Percy or Pebbles but then, she is a knitting cow right? So it's gotta be Pearl! Pearl the puking cow! Of course for the tour de france it could be Peddles. Lol, I grew up on a small dairy farm in VT and electrocuted my nose more times crawling through the fence! What a cute contest! (and I agree...what kind of win is it really if they cheat to get there)

Penelope or Hedwych (Dutch feminine form of Hedwig in honor of Harry Potter)

Lucinda - Cardenio’s wife. Silent and beautiful, Lucinda is a model of the courtly woman. Docile and innocent, she obliges her parents and her lover.
Or
Dulcinea del Toboso - The unseen force driving all of Don Quixote’s adventures.
Two characters from Don Quixote. That's well known for windmills, right?

How about "Ememoo"----short for emetic (or puking)cow!
Cute little thing. Have fun naming her.

How about Bossy? She has that kind of look about her--instead of puking, she could be chiding.

I think Ana such as anabolic steroids. But that might keep you mad.
Posted by: Kenyetta | July 25, 2007 at 11:47 AM
I think you should name her Burf. Hee, hee. What?
Posted by: Tracey | July 25, 2007 at 12:03 PM
She's brilliant. (same problem with the British after reading Potter) Ha.
Um... Darn... Tulip is already taken. Guess I'll have to go with Milka.
Posted by: Michelle | July 25, 2007 at 02:05 PM
How about Veritas, something that there should be more of in Vino (yuk yuk yuk).
Posted by: Elaine | July 25, 2007 at 02:15 PM
Um... I guess Vino would be inappropriate? How about Alpie since he made it through those just fine?
Posted by: Nikki | July 25, 2007 at 03:43 PM
How about naming your little bovine Ginny? I think it's such a pretty name.
Posted by: Angela | July 25, 2007 at 04:00 PM
Matilde (just popped into my head, I think she told me her name). Hahaha - there are some funny names up there!
And I agree that it's getting rather annoying with the doping. Come on people - let's have good, clean cycling! (and baseball, too).

Hildegarde but Hillie for short
Posted by: catsmum | July 25, 2007 at 04:39 PM
She looks like a Bluebell to me.

Look at her, in her little field of yarn! How about Blanca? Clara? Something clear and creamy and pure.
