Rupert went to town to see the doctor today. Clean bill of health and up to date on everything he needs. The vet said she has never seen anything like him. Meaning he is a spoiled mess! 😅

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm during this winter blast. While we wait on Spring, Rupert and I have been collaborating with our local library. In this digital and face paced age, we want to encourage kids to slow down and find joy in story telling again. With that being said, Rupert will be working on setting up Read with Rupert days at the Shelby County Public Library. I have a children's book that will soon be in publication, and if you are a local author send me your book details and I will have Rupert read and promote your books during the events as well. This is gonna be fun! Stay tuned for more information!

Rupert is taking full advantage of his time in the off season. Tell me your cow is spoiled without telling me your cow is spoiled!

Thanks to Corey W. for this cute picture of my sweet boy and I. ❤️ I'd like to get Rupert out to more events. As a business, you can hire him for a flat rate. Great for ribbon cuttings, open houses, or events involving children. Partnering with local libraries and local authors to do 'Readings with Rupert' is a project I would like to work on as well. Get kids with an open book and off the screen!

A few of the many highlights from Shelby Main Street's Celebration of Lights today. Thanks to Darlene Snow for welcoming Rupert back a 2nd year. Loved seeing all the smiling faces and Rupert was a doll. ❤️

Hello! Hello! Rupert is ready to spread some Christmas cheer this weekend. Look for him by the Christmas tree and the water fountain in town square!! Complete with his Christmas photo and kissing booths! Would it really be a hometown Christmas without a Christmas Cow?

It was such a great afternoon spending time with Shelby Counties finest during Shelbyville First Baptists First Responders weekend! Rupert hasn't been able to get out and about because of the heat wave, but we couldn't have been blessed with any better weather today. 🙌 🎚

Rupert has been hanging out under his shade tree the past few months trying to stay cool. He will be getting all spruced up in a few weeks and heading to Shelbyville First Baptist Church to show his love and support for our first responders of Shelby County. 🚔 🚓 👮‍♂️ 🚨 Hoping for cooler temps by that time!
