    being real though, cows are about dang dumb lol.

    They can be sweet, but holy crap, the kind of messes they get themselves into is absurd. I once helped my cousin with a cow that had gotten her head stuck in the fork of a tree. She was upset and trying to get to some tall grass the whole time.

    She could have just walked around the tree. Like, the next nearest tree was ten feet away, but she just couldn’t get past seeing the seeds of the grass through the fork.

    We get her loose, and she tries to stick her head back through.

    We guide her around, mostly by pushing her in the right direction, and she just starts eating like nothing had happened.

    I will say that she was also the sweetest cow I ever met. Loved getting scratched and brushed, so she’d come trotting over any time she saw a sucker familiar human and just butt them with her head until I the sucker the person complied. She would reward you with licks.

    So, yeah, grass pupper lol.

      We used to have a dog that would be so invested in what he was sniffing in that he would bonk his head into a tree. And then back up and do it again. He also once was on a hill, lifted his leg to pee, but it was the wrong leg, so he fell down the hill.

      Sounds like that cow and my dog would have gotten along.

      I’ve never played the game. Is that a joke or a bug?

        It’s an in-joke within the community. These messages are shared on the Internet, and you can only use preset phrases and words (e.g “behold, ___!” here). From day one, people have been calling turtles and other cute critters dogs.

          Yep this is it, and I could be wrong but I believe there is no preset phrase for ‘turtle’ so I guess people decided that was the closest thing.

      “I need every kind of puppies” is not proper English either. Guess they’re still learning.
