Last evening, I witnessed Cody, my gelding, and a cow and a calf greet one another. At first, Cody reached and out and nosed the cow on her forehead. Then the cow reached up and nosed Cody on his. After that, Cody reached down and lipped a calf on his knot of hair between his ears. If was as if Cody was kissing the calf, ever so gently, and communing with both the cow and calf. He was out there a good 10 minutes, like old friends seeing each other after a long separation. It was really touching to watch.
