Distraction of the Day: This cow thinks he is a dog
Please continue distracting me with beautiful stories like the one about Chuck the steer. What great folks the Millers are and what great examples to their son. Clearly the boy will learn what love is from them and to grow up a spiritually healthy person. Stories like this are diametric opposite of the poison our leadership encourages with their wars, their torture, their abortions and their filthy, corrupt style of managing their “public service”. I’d rather make a friend of Chuck the steer than be within fifty miles of their stench.
I’m glad you liked it. You know, I can’t be all doom and gloom!
