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!
How about "Bleeeeeeh-ssie?" It's like Bessie, a traditional cow name, but it also makes reference to the fact that it is always discharging fluids.

How about Hennie, which is Dutch for "little home ruler"?

Gertrude or Gertie, just because she looks like one.

Blue Bird (bird is slang in UK for girl)
Lady (A la Tom Jomes)

How about Vominatrix? I suppose it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

I think Elsie is her name.

She is clearly a Sweetie.

Bessie is a traditional cow's name, but she doesn't really look like a Bessie. I think she looks more like a Gretta.

She's Wendy. In honor of those wonderful windmills on her sides.

She's a beauty! A blue beauty so, Bella Bleu is my choice. ;-)
Good luck and do your best to stay clean!

How about Laine as in the French for wool - tying in the TdF and yarn.
Actually my name is Elaine (and I haven't been Lainy in years) but since there was already another Elaine I figured I'd better differentiate.

I'd name her Windy (not Wendy) in honor of her Windmills.

Moooooke - "moo" because she's a cow, then add the "ke" like Bobke for Bob Roll, who always makes me smile when I listen to him talk about the Tour. Cows also make me smile, so it all ties together.

I think you should call her "Bessie" as in BSE (Puking mad cow and all that)
she is pretty though.

She's smashing! I'd name her Barbara, which means "traveller from a foreign land". It's also a name that sounds solid—no connotations of cheating there!

How about Excretia?
Or perhaps "Barfing Bluebell"?

No ideas on the name, but I am gratified that you see these little china pitchers as puking animals. When I was a kid my mother got a small milk pitcher in the shape of a cat and could not understand why I was grossed out by it. Puking animals, yuk.
