Yesterday we went to the Western Washington State Fair. When we went into the “Beef Cattle” barn, there was a dog who was tied up near a bull (who was also tethered.) This dog had the GUILTIEST expression on his face, and we soon found out why:
Whenever the bull would put his head down to eat some hay from the feeder, the dog would lean over and lick the inside of the bull’s nostril!
The bull, needless to say, found this very annoying, and would try to shake the dog off. But the dog knew that this bull would be back for more food, and every time he did: WHAM! BOOGER TIME!
It was the funniest/freakiest thing. My husband said he wished to God we’d had a video camera with us. We’d be famous.
Sheesh, dogs will raid the litter box for cat turds to chow down on and you think cow boogers are gross? I guess I’ve been around animals enough that it doesn’t suprise me. My folk’s pets are always grooming each other. The cats groom each others funky ears as does my dad’s chocolate lab Fozzie. My mom’s bramah heifer Sapphire also has the cleanest nose and ears around because of the dog. I’m along way past being grossed out a cow lick, and I ain’t talkin’ about unruly hair. Sapphire is an affectionate animal and if you haven’t your face licked by a bovine tongue I’ll just say the first time can be a bit traumatic. She’s a big girl, standing almost five feet at the shoulder, but quite and can sometimes sneak up behind a person. She usually gives herself away with a snort that envelops the victim in a cloud of methane gas.
I don’t think cow boogers are gross at all. I just think that the scenario is funny, and that Girl Next Door described it very well, with lots of inflection.
Of course, I’m one of those people who likes catching “Funniest Home Videos” on the tube and watching little babies fall on their heads or dogs and cats howl along while their owner sings a song…
(I don’t do sigs myself, but I think “WHAM! BOOGER TIME!” makes a great sig!)
