The Cowch

The Cowch is a “life size soft sculpture floor pillow” as described on it’s web site. The manufacturer/seller is a woman who has a sanctuary for cows and is using these sales to help her further that endeavor. That is almost like social responsibility, which of course I know nothing about. The story of how the Cowch came to be is heartwarming, if not a bit on the loony side. Read it and make up your own mind.
In any case, you can order yourself a 3 foot newborn, a 5 foot yearling or 8 foot adult. There are a number of cows to choose from that are apparently modeled on ones she has in her own sanctuary. I know an 8 foot cow on the floor is just what my cramped living room needs.

Check out their online store for sure.
[...] Helga jest miłośnikiem krów. Ma ich kilka i są dla niej tak ważne, że produkuje na ich wzór wielkie podłogowe poduchy. Nie jest to może super praktyczny i niezbędny przedmiot w domu, ale na pewno budzi zainteresowanie i wywołuje uśmiech na twarzy. Wszystkie krówki są naturalnej wielkości i można wybierać między małym cielakiem, większą jałówką oraz dorosłą krową. Ceny w zależności od wieku i rodzaju wahają się między 300, a 800$ (830-2212 zł).

I find it kind of disturbing that a story about a woman who runs a sanctuary for cows features an ad for LEATHER purses from Amazon.com.
I AM checking out the store, and love the idea. The Cowch is adorable!
Hon, don’t ya’ll know leather comes from steer, i.e, castrated male cows, not precious lactating heifers? And veal comes from castrated little boy cows; don’t ya just luv that scallopini with a dry white?
