Blossom of the Crookedy Horns Blossom is the daughter of Elmer and Ruby. She does not share her mother?s good looks and is a timid cow with slightly crooked horns. Perhaps this has given her a complex and explains her lack of self-confidence. We don?t know. She was born on May 29, 1995. Blossom has recently become extremely lame. We are not sure why. She has joined Belinda in the hospice behind the house and we are starting her on a regimen of pellets and alfalfa mash laced with aspirin. We'll see if this helps.
