The Small Dog on Guard…

Posted on April 23, 2020 by Sue Vincent

I live with a cow-field just over the fence,
For a guard-dog that’s really no joke,
‘Cause a cow is a curious beastie, you see,
And they all have a thing about looking at me
And their heads through my hedges they poke.

So when it is cow-season and they come out,
I’m on duty from morning till night,
For a small dog a whole herd of cows is not fair
But this spring for some reason the cows are not there…
So I thought I’d have no-one to fight.

So, I’m minding my business out there by the fence
When another great beastie I spy…
My heart gave a lurch and it really was thumping,
As big as a cow, but it’s running and jumping,
And I’d swear that it thinks it can fly!

    Umm … they can fly, but they don’t mind if small dogs see them. 🙂

    Great penned, Ani! Do you know, Choppy from Wisconsin met electric cows, last year. She tried to chase them, but suddenly got pushed back. 😉 Maybe your cows also able throwing electricity.
