Please drop any $ you can into the Tip Jar to help pets at The Parker ProjectEvery penny helps! Thanks!


Nestled in the country in lovely Dodge County Wisconsin, near Beaver Dam, #Nipclub Wisconsin rests in a former pasture on @TheNascarKitty's Dairy Farm. Make sure to be there for our Dairy Celebration.
Join us for a great celebration of America's Dairyland and enjoy June Dairy Days in Wisconsin where we'll show you the finest dairy products and a lot of other Wisconsin specialties (besides Cheese and Dairy we're known for Beer, Brats, being the origin of both the HAMBURGER and the ICE CREAM SUNDAE). 

A word from @TheNascarKitty: I grew up as a feral cat at a feed mill in Wisconsin. Surrounding us were scenes like in the picture above. I spent a LOT of time playing, sleeping and hunting at these farms. The big holstein cows look scary, but most of them LOVE cats...we are like furry hot water bottles when we lay on them. And...of course..there's the MILK!! The farmers always left a big tray of that days fresh milk (with the cream still in it of course) out for the kitties.  Even though Daddy (who worked at the Feed Mill) eventually took me to a forever home indoors, I got to spend 7 years being pampered as Mill Cat with a nice bed and food indoors at night, and free run of the farms during the day. HEAVEN!! Or so I thought...cuz once I had a comfy indoor home, I never wanted to go outside again and I never did. So while I look back fondly on my feral past....I am LUCKY to have found a home. Help those homeless animals find homes if you can.

June is National Dairy Month in America, and it's a great time to thank the hard working men, women, and ANIMALS who make sure we have a never ending supply of food, clothing, textiles, fertilizer, etc. 



#NipClub Pawties DOWN on the FARM

In the Past milking cows was a tiresome chore, done 2 to 3 times a day and required a lot of manual work, even with a high tech milking system. NOW, many farms are going to automated robot milkers. The cow actually comes into the parlor on her own when she feels she'd like to be milked, gets a meal specifically mixed for her while being milked. Wl

Milk, Cheese, Ice Cream, Butter, who doesn't love the great wholesome taste of real Dairy? 
Well, This week at #NipClub we are going to whisk you away to lovely Wisconsin! America's Dairyland, and the home of great pals @RealFakeGator, @MarioDaCat, @HankTheDoggy @4Catstrapski, and ME! (@TheNascarKitty) and a lot of other pals!!

While we're all used to seeing farms dotting the landscape everywhere we go, we know many of you are far away from the nearest farm, so let us show off some of the pride of Wisconsin   and OF COURSE....we will make sure there is more than enough treats for you to enjoy the TASTE of WISCONSIN!

Wisconsin's @RealFakeGator helps milk some cows.

@TheNascarKitty checks the pastures on one of his
favorite old tractors. Maybe he'll let you drive one!
Drive some antique tractors around. But don't be surprised if
while you're driving, @TheNascarKitty tricks you into doing
some field work or spreading manure. Farm work is hard
and any farmer is always glad to share the work.

@WinstonTabby had a few "drinks" then decided he'd like some milk...
Don't worry, there's an easier way...our Barktenders will serve it up
cold and fresh in a clean glass. 

Wisconsin's @MarioDaCat models his Green
Bay Packer Cheesehead, while getting some
fresh milk for specialty cocktails. 

Later that night, after enjoying several of his
"milk based Cocktails" @MarioDaCat dreamed
he was a cow. Don't worry, we didn't milk him.
