On the sixth day God created the animals... Does He have a sense of humor or what??? People tell me that my animals make them smile. God's amusing sense of design is what makes me smile! |
Greener Grass (Pencil Drawing) I grew up on a small dairy farm with two sisters and a brother. All of our cows were named. They were very tame, and they were our pets. My dad would fence off |

different areas of the farm and pasture the cows out in them. Many times we would
be sent out to bring the cows in for evening milking. One beautiful, warm summer
afternoon my sister and I talked and played as we walked out to bring them
in. Stub (named for her stubbed horn) had just calved. Her baby had gone under
the electric fence and wandered into the cornfield. Stub was obviously distressed
and trying to find her new baby. She took one look at us and decided that we
must have taken him. If you have ever seen an angry bull, you have seen nothing
compared to an angry, red-eyed mother cow whose baby is gone. She took off after
us full speed, and we thought we were goners. We were under the fragile
fence, into the cornfield, |
and out of there! We were so surprised that our pet would charge us,
but . . . I haven't seen many 'moms' who wouldn't do the same for their children! |
