Pasture Laughter

I am thankful to God for the gift of unexpected reasons to laugh. Today I was sitting on the ground, waiting on the water tank to fill up for the cows. My border collie Zeta was with me, and I started teasing her and playing with her, making playful growling sounds and blowing on her, which makes her want to jump at me and slurp me on the face, neck, wherever she can get at. She started making ...me laugh as we were tousling on the ground beside the water tank. Then I looked over at the cows that were all lined up around the tank on the other side of the fence. They just made me laugh more. Cajun, especially. She's this little cow who is very laid-back, almost always waits till the last to come in the milking parlor, just rarely ruffled or excited by much. But the look on her face as she was looking at me and Zeta was too funny. Her eyes were wide as she stared at us, as if to say something like, "WHAT is going on? I have never seen this side of you, and it does not seem natural to me!" I so wish I had taken my camera with me today!
