Some of them got so excited when they saw<br />
me that they started running around<br />
everywhere. One of the cows almost knocked<br />
me over but Louise stopped her. Louise was<br />
the youngest in the herd and she protected<br />
me.<br />
Mum and Dad were very happy that Louise<br />
helped me and since that day they have loved<br />
her. That was also the day she became my<br />
best friend. Now we share everything.<br />
Well, almost everything.<br />
But not the grass and the clovers because I<br />
don’t like eating all that green stuff.<br />
I wish Louise and her herd could be outside<br />
more often, but most of the time they are in<br />
the dairy barn.<br />
