Cow Appreciation Day

A big thanks to all who participated in our broadcast at Chick-fil-A for Cow Appreciation Day. Several people were nice enough to get up early and dress like cows for the sake of the show (and some Chick-fil-A food). One young woman was even celebrating her birthday that day. I've included a few photos from the fun... too bad I had to give the cow hat back.

Dachshunds Still Cute Even When Sick

If you are a regular viewer of Good Morning Four States, you know we are both animal lovers. Shannon is the proud owner of two cats while Alan has two dachshunds. Alan's dogs have had their share of health problems over the years, with the older dog having cancer surgery (twice) and back surgery, while the younger dog has a heart problem. Health issues struck the younger dog earlier in the week when she collapsed in the backyard. Fluid has built up in her lungs, making it difficult for her to breath. At one point, the vet didn't think she would pull through. However, after a couple rounds of medicine and time spent in an oxygen tent, she is back at home, running around the yard and chasing squirrels. Alan thought he would share a picture of her resting in the oxygen tent. She's a little fighter. A big thanks to the people at Banfield.

Delicious Pot Pie

This morning on the show, part of our discussion was on pot pies. Granted, the off-air discussion lasted a little longer than what you, the viewer, got to see. I ate plenty of pot pies in college and really didn't have much of a desire to have one ever again. However, one of our viewers may have changed my mind. This photo was taken in New Orleans, while the sender was vacationing. It's a pork pot pie that was enjoyed at an outdoor cafe on Canal Street. Looks delicious.
