"i brought our milk on the hoof"

Laura and Lena picketed the cows not far apart in good grass. Every morning and every evening they met to take care of the cows. They led them to drink from the lake, and moved the picket lines to fresh grass, and then they did the milking, and while they milked they sang. -By the Shores of Silver Lake, Chapter 10, "The Wonderful Afternoon"

There are lots of cows in the "Little House" books; this glass cow is in honor of all of them, especially Bossy and Blossom, Ellen, Rosie, Sukey, and Wreath of Roses. Rosie? Yep, she's the other cow in Little House in the Big Woods.
