We don't see the resemblance

Mom was having a chuckle to herself yesterday when looking at pictures of cows - personally we don't see the resemblance and cows are GIRLS after all ! These specific type of cows are Holstein Friesians and are the most common milking cows in the world and originally came from the Netherlands. And just a bit of trivia for the day - Perhaps the most famous Holstein Friesian was Pauline who served from 1910 to 1913 as the official presidential pet to the 27th President of the United States, William Howard Taft. Pauline lived and grazed on the White House lawn and provided milk for the first family. We think the White House lawns would look pretty good with a bunch of silly moos running around it :)

  3. I have spots too! Isn't it funny how many animals have the same kinds of colors and markings?

  7. Sometimes you just have to humor the Moms, but we think you two are far better looking that those cows.
