RIP Curly Pops your one of a kind..............

You came into my life and the blog way back here in October 2008
you stole me heart way back then.........
who knew you were going to be so special.........
you should have died then..............
you even starred on one of my cards...........
Sept 09
always coming to say hello at the garden fence........
March 11
even putting up with Boy Wonder's antics...........
April 2011
Your first baby "Cocopops" nearly killed you.......an expensive bill at the vets when others would have died..........
August 2012
Your second calf Cops...........
Feb 2013
You survived the drought and all the drought feeding............
Dec 2013

Jan 2014
your 3rd baby Lollipops..........
And you had your 4th baby earlier this year...........I took a photo of you when I introduced you to Jan@ The Little Red Hen but I can't find it............
Sadly your time came..........you were always going to die on the farm because we would never sell you..........I just never knew it was going to be so soon and from too much nice green feed...........
your one of a kind.........not to many get hand reared and I could always walk up to you in the paddock and give you a hug..........
in my whole life there is no other cow like you........
Curly Pops blog life is in this link..........
Catch you later.......

Poor Curly Pops. You were lucky to have such a wonderful cow in your life and she was lucky to have you.

I'm so sorry to hear about Curly Pops. We had a calf we hand fed (I called him "Buddy"). Buddy was always at the gate when it was time to eat. I grew so fond of him...he passed away at three months....and it broke my heart.
I understand your grief. Take care.

I'm a bit teary as I'm writing this, Chooky - I'd followed Curlypops' progress from birth and it was a real treat to meet her - like meeting a rock star. She'd overcome so many odds and was so lucky to be part of your family. Sending you a big hug - I'm sure you'll be needing lots of these. xx
