Swimming Cows!

Came across these pictures, and they definitely brightened my day...

Reminded me of one of my dearest friends, a kind and generous oxen named Laksman. When i was staying in India, we spent many hours together. I would share all the joys and sorrows of my heart with him and he would reciprocate in kind with rough oxen kisses on my arms and face. He is greatly missed and i look forward to the day my little sprout meets him.

All of the photos are courtesy of an organization called Care for Cows who rescue and rehabilitate injured, abandoned, abused, and neglected cows, oxen, bulls, and other animals around a holy town in North India. Their gallery is quite heart-warming.
