Norman

DSC02138This is Norman. He is a giraffe but ever since he entered our lives, Jamie and I have called him a cow. We even went so far as to look up the name of the cow on City Slickers and name the stuffed animal appropriately. In the last couple of weeks we have had interactions with people who comment on what a nice giraffe Sam has. "Oh no," we have said, "that is Norman and he is cow." Norman is obviously a giraffe. His markings, his small stumpy horns, and his tail say it all. But to us he has become a cow/giraffe named Norman whom Sam slobbers with slippery kisses and greets with a big grin and a large hug every morning. Oh Norman!
