Dog meets cow
« on: June 25, 2010, 06:34:58 PM »
Well, two heifers actually.  Our dog is pretty timid, so we were pleasantly surprised that she was so friendly.  I think it was because they moved so slowly, and didn't make noise.  They were a little scared of her, too, but they seemed to like her.  =)























So now we know that our dog likes cats and cows, just not other dogs.

Her ears are saying a whole lot about the "I'm not so sure about this" aspect of the encounter.

Nice to know she knows how to be a lady until/unless provoked.

What's the backstory?  Why was she where she got to meet chewtoys on the hoof?

stay safe.

Those look like baby cows, possibly only 3-4 months old. Maybe their curiosity overcame their fear of canines, or else they haven't been chased by a pack of coyotes yet.

Oor Chewawa-Basenji met cows and calves for the first time today, while we were on a trail ride.

She barked and chased them out of our path.

Ginger was born and raised on the outskirts of a major metropolitan area, and she loves going to my parents' house out in the sticks.  Their front yard is bordered by a hay field, with an abandoned (but very picturesque) house in the middle of it.  The neighbor sometimes uses the house as a barn for livestock.  When I was a kid, he kept a pig there; then later a steer named Willy.  Now, he has those two heifers, and when my wife and I saw them, we decided to see what would happen.  This is Ginger's first time with an animal larger than a dog.  Hoping we run across a horse sometime.   =)
