Welcome to issue 116 of Happy Cow's Weekly Moos! Our apologies for the recent break in service during which Happy Cow was attending the 18th Annual International Grass Tasting Festival in Northern Italy for her summer vacation, and while she was away, we all just went down the local pub for some dangerously heavy drinking and a mammoth tournament of Pretend To Be A Celebrity Darts, which was eventually won by Swifty pretending to be Big Norm from Cheers.
