The Bovine Bugle

Every dog will have his day, even on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has come and gone, and we all had fun visiting and playing with the relatives and we all ate too much. Over 30 of our turkeys made it onto the tables of families celebrating here in Vermont, and one even made it out to Michigan. I had a call from one of my customers, and she wanted another turkey to use fairly soon. I told her I could drop it off the next night on my way to choir practice.

The next night I was greeted at the door by Sung Hee, Wylie, and their dog, Pushkin. They have purchased our turkeys, beef, and chickens for the past couple of years. We talked about Thanksgiving, the melting snow, the skiing at Jay Peak, and the secure feeling a full freezer and a big woodpile gives you heading into a northern Vermont winter. Sung Hee mentioned how even Pushkin had enjoyed some turkey at Thanksgiving. When she said that she had a picture of Pushkin trying to make off with the turkey carcass I told her she had to e-mail it to me to use in my blog. Pushkin did not look happy when he was caught red-handed.

It's nice to have customers like Sung Hee and Wylie that appreciate what we do, and who make it fun to have a chance to visit with them when we drop off some of our products or when they come to the farm to buy something.
