Now he's started something. And he doesn't like it.

A few weeks ago, Mike put a handful of cow cubes in a bucket and shock it so it rattled very loud. The Longhorn cow that's in the pasture beside our house walked over and ate the cubes.

He's been doing this every day.

Now when he comes out of the back door, the Longhorn cow comes to the fence and moos.

He complained yesterday that he's created a monster. One of our inside cats does the same thing (meows not moos) in the morning for a can of wet food. This drives him crazy.

I keep telling him it's all a Pavlov's dog reflex.

This morning, the Longhorn cow was already at the fence and when we walked out the back door. She was standing there looking at him. I just had to laugh. Mike just moaned and threw his arms up in the air.

He created the monster so I guess I'll call him FrankenMike!
