Cow thinks he's a dog

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. (NBC) -- Shelly and Jay Miller live on 10 acres of heaven. There they can indulge their love of animals: cows, goats, and dogs without bothering the neighbors.

Shelly brings the labrador retrievers to find their playmate, chuck, the steer.

....

They got the calf. And though they didn't expect him to live, they tried to save him. And so did their dogs.

Jay Miller says, "Once they saw Chuck, immediately they lay down beside him. They never got up. Uh, they didn't get up to eat or anything. They touched him. They licked him. They cleaned him. Until he got up and started running around, they wouldn't leave his side."

Chuck would even use the dogs' ears as a pacifier. Two years later, Chuck weighs 1,100 pounds and is the picture of health and something else.

Shelly says "he thinks he's a dog. He wants to play and buck and run and chase the dogs. I think he thinks he's a dog."

3. Years ago our big dog

started eating grass in the yard. She got pretty obsessive about it, so we took her to the vet. The doctor checked her out and could find nothing wrong, so he took her face in both hands, stared into her eyes and said "YOU ARE NOT A COW!" She stopped eating grass that day.

10. Umm...I'm hoping they mean the dogs. The dogs licked him.

But that sentence structure would have given my 5th grade teacher a fit.

12. There was a dog who used to lick himself

until one day, little Jimmy asked his dad: Why does Rover lick himself, Daddy?

Because Mommy gave him some the meatballs we had for dinner, and he's trying to get the taste out of his mouth.

Redneck 2 : "That dog'd bite you."

8. Years ago I saved a runt lamb and brought it home to raise. My dogs would play

with it and they would run together. When my older brother would drive away the lamb and the two dogs would chase the car. It was hilarious.
