I was recently informed of Harriet the Cow's death. I never had the privilege of meeting Harriet, but all the reports I heard of her pointed to a cow of great spirit. She had, prior to her death, been a strong, healthy cow who was both pregnant and a great producer. She had a quirky independence that occasionally got her into trouble, but don't we all? Her premature death was due to ingesting some metal. It is a fairly common malady, but still a bitter end to a bright life. She will be missed.Let's hope it's not a sign of Harriet the Novel's fate.
