Good morning Family Cow Family!

There's no food news today... just a few pictures to introduce the littlest Shank.

Dawn and I are delighted to welcome our newest grandson, Leo René Shank! He's the second son, fourth child in Rodrick and Jeanette's family. He arrived safely Sunday morning, April 28th.

This picture was actually on his first day in this world. I have no idea how Rodrick and Jeanette caught a tiny smile on his first day... It looks like Leo feels pretty pleased with where he landed in life! LOL!

I guess Dawn & I are now Grandparents for the 13th time! Lil’ Leo makes the 6th grandson and there are 7 granddaughters.

Of course, it's all in fun and we'd be thrilled with either... but let's just say this: If God gives us a perfect 7 balance... there just may be a good many photos taken! 😊

One last cute picture to close on... Grandma always needs her cuddle time too! :)

Blessings,

Grandpa Edwin

Pottenger's Cats: Book Review

During the 1930s, Dr Francis Pottenger Jr. who was a medical doctor in California, conducted nutritional/feeding experiments with 900 cats over a 10 yr period. Here is a summary one of his many feeding trials: The cats in each group were fed 1/3 meat and 2/3 milk. The meat that each group received was always raw but the milk they received was variable.
