Best story EVER!

Ok.  So there is the best story ever transpiring here in Germany.  It's about Yvonne the cow who escaped from the slaughterhouse of a sausage maker.  She wants to be free.  She wants to be wild....she wants to live.

Off she went and is now wondering through the German forest pretending to be a deer.  Many attempts have been made to catch her.  None successful thus far.

They built her a beautiful pen with lovely hay and grain to eat.  She would have none of that.  The freedom of the forest and munching on grass wherever she wishes is what she craves.  Recently though a 2nd attempt to catch her was made.  One which I find particularily amusing.

They brought her a bull.  LOL  I am laughing as I find this very amusing.  The idea came from none other than a man and they were darn proud of the idea too!  They went on and on how attractive he was, gentle....alluring.  Only a man could have thought of this idea.  Think about it.  Were it the other way around I am certain that the cow would attract a rougue bull. BUT....since it is a cow that has gone "ferrel" I am certain it will NOT work. And to make matters worse, they have recently found out that the bull had been castrated.  I just about fell off the chair laughing.

So, each evening we watch the news to see how Yvonne is doing.  Rooting for the cow....that she gets to stay in the wilderness.  At the moment there are animal control officers trying to dart her as they are concerned she will wander into traffic and seriously injure a motorist.  I think she is too smart for that.  When people are searching for her she stays one step ahead of them and then pops up behind them as if to say, "I´m too smart for you.  You will never catch me!"

Personally......I am cheering for the cow!
