Nicole lives on a 9-acre farm that is home to all sorts of rescued animals including dogs, cats, goats, pigs, chickens, pigeons, cows, and even a parrot.
And her cow, Sven, is quite the handful.
Because he grew up with six dogs, Sven sort of considers himself one of the pack.
And because the rest of the dogs are allowed inside, Sven assumes that he is as well.
Nicole says, “Anytime the door is open longer than a few minutes he will make a break for it. Cows are super, super curious animals (worse than cats) and when he was a baby he was sick for a few days and lived in my laundry room for a while so he was used to being inside. He rarely makes it inside anymore because I make sure to lock the doorknob.”
But when Sven does make it inside, all it takes are a few treats to get him back out.
“I usually laugh if he makes it inside and just grab some treats to bribe him back outside before any damage is done,” Nicole says. “Cows are very food-motivated so he normally walks right out for a cookie. He did get in a few months ago and made it all the way to my bedroom and woke me up.”
