Obviously, something is going on between this calf and Buster.......but, is it truly friendship?*
Do you think I should break the news to Buster that calves will nuzzle anyone or anything that gets close to them.......a hand, a coat-tail, a cat, a sleeve, a knee........and, yes, even a dog! It might break Buster's little ol' canine heart, though! Do I have the heart to do that?.......NO! Let Buster believe the calf's affectionate behavior is authentic.

Today is Veterans' Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in Canada......thus sayeth my calendar. Happy special day to all!

[P.S. - This has nothing to do with the above post.......I just checked my email and saw that Sunday's Dictionary.com Word-of-the-Day was horripilation........something which we all experience from time to time. But, what a word! I had never seen it before!]

How precious! If it continues, please document and blog and make a mini story about thier freindship. Books are written about this stuff.
Happy vets days!
What does that word mean?
Yes, best to let Buster have his illusions! He'll learn soon enough how fickle bovines can be, and he'll need your love all the more when his dreams come crashing down.
Here's an old Chinese or Japanese saying: A bird may fall in love with a fish, but where will they live?
Aren't you going to use it in a sentence ?
What a sweet photo! Please keep us updated on their friendship....=)
What a word! I don't believe that I have ever seen it before either!!
Such a sweet photograph. They both have such loving expressions.
Hi, adventure girl,
Actually, this goes on practically every day. Poor Buster....he thinks the calf really loves him, probably......
That odd word means "getting goose bumps".

rhymsie,
Good point there with your wise Oriental saying.....Buster would have to go live in the calf pen and he would find that too confining, I'm afraid.

Sigh....its an ongoing relationship.....day in and day out, and never really changes.

oregontribal,
Yes, their innocence is so sweet. A calf's kiss is very sloppy, too, and Buster never seems to care!

Ruth,
I'll relay to Buster that you think he looks sweet.
