Cows in the Yard

When you hear the phrase “cows in the yard” bellowed in the early morning, it helps if you’re a dog. Dogs apparently know instinctively that this means you must chase the cows. You love chasing cows! To a person, though, someone not living and breathing the daily reality of the farm, it’s like someone just started shouting random facts. Air under your chair! Ants in the earth! Gravity applies to you!
