Animals are the kwaziest people


This is James Cocker, just turned two years old on Christmas Eve.


You wouldn't know it from this picture, but James has an attitude problem. He spent his puppyhood in an apartment with my son and  his girlfriend, coming to live with us about six months ago. He's decided he doesn't like cats, chickens, birds, horses or my iguana, Dickens.



James also doesn't like airplanes and tries to catch them when they come in low over the yard to land at the small airport across the street.

This is Zooey, a 4 year old mare.  

 She also looks laid back, but looks can be deceiving.
(Does this pasture make my ass look big?)

When James first came to us, he ran into the pasture and attacked Zooey's feet. She calmly walked away, knocking him over. Since then, they haven't gotten along. Today, Zooey and the other 2 horses were outside our bedroom window, where they often gather to enjoy the warmth of the sun reflected off the house. James took offense and began barking through the window, so Zooey gave him a close look. So close, she shoved the screen in. When she wandered off, I fixed the screen. She came back and shoved it in again. I fixed it, then went out. According to Diane, James began barking again, so Zooey came over and bit a large hole in the screen. I guess she showed me who's boss.

This is Sebastian, my almost 3 year old Golden, who we rescued from people who kept him in a crate day and night and then couldn't understand why he was so rambunctious when they let him out to play with their children.


He ignored the whole affair at the window.
