CowaBunga!
The commercial says California cows are happy cows. I don't know how happy they are, but they sure are an inquisitive bunch. We often pass this pasture on our favorite walking trail, but we've never seen cows there before. Maybe their schedule had changed, though, because the other day, there were a group of cows, right on the other side of the fence.
At first, Cabana was rather intrigued. She had never been so close to cows before. 
Cabana was not the only one who was intrigued! After a minute, more and more cows started coming over to the fence to check Cabana out!
This made Cabana very nervous. She did NOT want to walk by them. I spoke reassuringly to her and tried to get her to continue on the trail. After a few minutes of nervous prancing about, thanks to our 26' retractable leash, Cabana angled out WAY into the grass, off the path, in a wide circle to get passed them with as much distance between the cows and herself.
The cows never made a single moo, and Cabana never let out a bark. It was a completely silent interchange. I'm interested to see what happens the next time we walk by this fence. Hopefully, the cows will give Cabana a bit more space!
That is so interesting - would be amazing to understand what was going through their heads as they had this interaction. Cricket is a little spooked by horses.
I know what they were thinking: FOOD.
That's all cows ever think about! :)
wow! Doni did the same thing only it was pigs, can't stand them! took alot of praise and dancing on my part. after the third day of visiting them he did better.
Dear Cabana, next tine your family goes out of town without you, you should stay at my house! Not only will we get to run run run, but I can also teach you about cows! I have lots of cows friends. Ok, I call them friends, they call me uninteresting. I'm kinda jealous that your cows came up to say hi. Mine just stand their and look at me. At least they are more polite than me sheep - those ladies take one look at me and RUN! It's like they think I am ugly or sumtin. Come play Cabana!!
Wags,

Silly Labbie, cows make really stinky smelling 'prizes' for you to roll in, or pick up up, and sometimes they are nice to snack on too!

I find cows fascinating :) They always look intense... yet not all there
LOL It would be fun to hear what was going on in her head.
Willow is always curious about other animals like cows, horses, sheep, goats, etc. She seems to think they're all just big dogs and wants to play with them.
Your pictures continually make me miss California! And not much does, really. We sometimes have cows in our nearby open space, but they are not separated by a fence and mostly keep their distance. Luckily nobody has reacted much to them.
P.S. Belated thanks for the shirt! Love the brown! Will definitely consider a jacket when you do another printing...
