Cows, possessed of a forgiving nature, agree that crisp apples mitigate the sins of barky dogs.
Today Sparky reminded me I hadn't taken any photos for Friday Cow Blogging this week. When I let him out, he went to the fence and started barking at the cows, who scattered at the sound. Way to remind me I need to photograph the cows, Sparks.
I put him inside, grabbed a bag full of apples, and headed out to the fence, eager to make amends. Fortunately the bovine nature is a forgiving one, and they came back to welcome me and my apples.
I'm still figuring out how to control Sparky's barking. Other than using his excellent recall to call him in when he barks, I'm stumped. I think we need to seek arbritration with the cows. Surely he'll come to an agreement with them eventually.
