@kk: Funny. Of our two Cavaliers, one ignores the TV completely, the other ignores dogs on the TV, but goes into serious "defend the property" mode when lions, horses or cows are on the screen. Lions I get, but COWS??

Funny thing with cows and horses, and I didn't learn this until relatively late in my horse career, probably 95% of the horses I had been around until I was 18 were farm/ranch horses, and even if they weren't working, they were around cattle and there were no issues. It wasn't until my daughter and I started showing Draft Horses that I found out that hanging out with cattle isn't necessarily on a horses bucket list. I saw more than a few "hitches" (teams) come unglued when cattle came by. When you're working with a hitch it's unspoken that you are in the first line of catch sooth and repair equipment if you aren't actually driving a team at the moment. I gotta tell ya' it's humbling to see 4 to 8 one ton creatures attached to a conveyance that is close to that weight come unglued and try to go in as many different directions as possible! *whew*
So, yeah, cows
