Teuke


Amsterdam, 24 oktober 2008

The cow in this weird looking contrapcion is called Teuke and she lives and prospers at the animal farm for children in Amsterdam west where I do my volunteer job.
Twqice a year the farrier comes to the farm to give Teuke a pedicure job, cutting off the excesses of her hoofs you know.
You might think that Teuke is in great discomfort here, don`t worry she`s quite used to it. Not getting her hoofs cut every so often would be much more discomfortable to her.


I once asked this farrier what people think about this weird contraption dragging along behind his mini-van driving around Holland from farmer to farmer.
He told me he once got stopped by the police, "don`t worry sir, we do not wish to give you a ticket, just wanna know what is this strange thing behind your van?", "are you a window cleaner or, maybe a carpenter"?
Hehehehe.
