Cows, chickens, and dogs...

I went to visit back home where I grew up recently and I had to stop and enjoy the farm animals... in the paintings.  It is the perfect way to enjoy them.  Unlike how I grew up, I didn't step in a cow pie..

or have any unpleasant scents accompanying my view.

Like a lot of you, I have so admired the cow paintings I have been seeing in blogland lately.

So, I thought I would share some really nice ones from my original charming home. 

Roosters are not forgotten...

back home they have quite a collection...

and unlike in my youth, their isn't any crowing to wake me or startled chickens when I step in the coop to gather eggs.

Now the paintings that truly tug at my heart are the true friends.... the hunting dogs.

The beloved pets...,

once again I so wish I could see them.  I would reach down and give them a pat.

Oh, the tales we have of our beloved pets...

the childish mischief they got into with us, just like a best friend. 

Did you have a beloved pet or farm animal?
