This morning's milking was amazing. Honeydew was waiting at the pasture gate, came in nicely and let me put on all 4 inflations at once. Milk was actually dripping she let down so well. Only a couple of stepping around episodes.
Daphne the old cow stood at her head ruminating, she has always been Honeydews 'Duena' This is Spanish for chaperone 'A chaperone in its original social usage was a person who for propriety's sake accompanied an unmarried girl in public; usually she was an older married woman, and most commonly the girl's own mother. In modern social usage, a chaperon or chaperone is a responsible adult who accompanies and supervises young people.'
Not only that, Honeydew allowed me to walk all around and not hold on to the the Surge bucket. And she, too, was ruminating. By pinching off the air hose the inflations just slip right off. Then, she waited until I said Back Back to exit the stanchion. Have the fairys exchanged her for a different cow? My husband is still there in case she acts up and he pulls the flank rope tight. She gave 3.5 gallons.
