Ode to the cows of India!

If there is any animal that rules the roost in India, its the cow. The only thing the madmen whom drives India's buses will bow out to. They wander the streets freshly coloured or washed eating whatever they can find including the products of your lowly farmer selling vegetables on the street when he turns his back ~ of which we witnesses on a number of times. Those of you whom say cows are stupid and don't have personalities I challenge you to come to India! Well they may be stupid but they command the respect that we in the western world give our dogs, and they in turn act like them! You can pet and scratch them, and get them to do tricks for food ~ don't believe me, check out Gunnar's travel site when he had a cow on his hind legs reaching for food! I share a whole new opinion for these mammals, however that doesn't mean one of our first meals when we get home won't be a nice juicy steak! :)





They're often getting into the garbage lying around...


This guy just loved me, and LOVED getting his neck scratched. I kid you not, I had a friend for life. He followed us for 2 blocks after this picture was taken until we finally lost him.
