Goldie and Her Friends Attend to Important Matters
I always wonder what the animals do all say when I’m working. Today I snuck out and spied on Goldie, to see what was going on in the woods. Soon the whole pack joined her for a very important meeting with the neighbors.
Hello, hello, let’s all take our places.
Apparently, the dogs and cattle had some items to discuss, and Goldie was in charge of getting things going.
Now let’s settle down! Where the heck are the refreshments? The cows aren’t sharing their milk. It’s time for the meet and greet. Let’s all touch noses. Wait your turns, Brownie and Blackie!Now that we’re all here, let’s go over the dog agenda. You cows need to stop moving around in the woods at night. We can’t hear the coyotes and hogs for all your stomping. Wait wait! The rest of the dog committee wants to make our points! Ooh. It’s Alfred. We have to listen to him. He guards us. Let’s all touch his nose. Dang it, I’ve lost control of the meeting. You guys, get back with the group. Penney, go back inside. We’re breaking into subcommittees. Mooers to the left, stompers to the right, please. Barkers in the middle. I’m lobbying for less barking and more nose touching. Will you go along?
At the above point, Vlassic and this calf appeared deep in conversation. The calf was nodding and seriously considering what Vlassic had to offer.
Meeting adjourned! Let’s go bark, moo and stomp!
And the party is continuing as I type. The animals seem to genuinely enjoy their interactions. Humans with the agenda of napping, however, wish they’d find another venue for their get-togethers.

I live in the countryside too and my dogs are fascinated by the cattle too – especially my Husky!
