GH Meets the Cows

GH Meets the Cows

Momma took me out to the country. I love to explore the field and all around the house - so many smells, so little time! Momma decided to take me for a walk across the street to another field where they had these really big dogs that I had never seen before. I mean, they were HUGE. Momma said they all had the same name - "Cow." I wanted to get in that field and play with them so bad...but Momma would only let me sit right inside the fence with her hand tight on my leash. At first, the "cows" would only stare at me; they didn't want to play. Then the biggest cow started slowly walking over towards me and Momma. The other cows followed behind. When the big one stopped, they all stopped. Then he started moving slowly towards me again, and again so did the others. Finally, he started to get really close to me, while the others stayed back. He was so big, and he was completely black. And he smelled like no other dog I have ever smelled! He looked right at me, and he slowly bent down. I swear one of his nostrils was as big as my head! Slowly, slowly he moved his head in close to mine...I didn't know what he was going to do...he took a deep breath, and...I shot out from under that fence so fast Momma didn't know what hit her. She said she had never seen me move so fast, not even when I chase squirrels. I was so scared of that cow! I didn't know if it was going to eat me, lick me, or just snort on me, but I didn't want to find out. Momma laughed and picked me up. She petted the cow on the head to show me that he was friendly. I guess he wasn't going to hurt me, but from now on, I think I'll keep my distance from those cows.
