[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13540"] She loves apples, I'm quite tempted to have hubby give her apple slices several times a day, so that if nothing else, she'll come to associate him with the "treats" and hopefully won't run from him. The whole situation is quite funny, except for making it impossible for me to leave! You see hubby is the kind of person who bonds with all animals -- we've petsit for people and had their animals not want to go back home! We boarded 2 horses last year, both were "evil" animals, but within a few days they loved him and would do anything for him. Hubby just has a way with animals. Thinking back though, my greatuncle was the one who taught me what little I remember about cattle (I started off with 1 angusX cow when I was 6 years old, and built a herd that I managed until I was 18) and I remember him telling his friends "she talks to those cows and they talk to her", and he was very upset when I got out of cattle, he thought I should have made a career out of cattle farming, instead of being stupid, marrying a bum, and starting a family so young. Oh well, I guess you come back to the things that you really love eventually.
