I don't think that the particular artist in question and his symbolism had the hots for the cow that was equal to that he had for his neighbor's wife, but then again, the artist could have had a fondness for cows, that strained the normal boundaries of farm husbandry. I am not judging, mind you. Not at all. I like cows...in a nice way. I draw the line after petting, though. The artist was symbolizing a young liberty, so the question is, did he originally covet his neighbor's wife because she was dumb, or....hot? That brings up the next question, which I have answered to my own satisfaction by observation, and that is that cows can be a loving being. That is why I am against cow tipping. I think about these things. I don't know why.
You couldn’t tip my Elsie. She always sleep on her side with the dog curled up by her belly and the cat was curled up against the dog. The three of them would work together to help the cat catch field mice. Funny to watch and very enjoyable.
