So today, around two o'clock (2:00 ) this after noon, i had to go with tony, one of the boss' sons to deliver three HUGE pots , and a HUGE gargoyle, sitting on a rock, with his wings spread out behind him. Think 1500 pounds huge here folks 
we delivered the pots, sat them where the nice lady wished them to be, then rode another hour to drop off the gargoyle.
We ended up going a mile or so down a single lane dirt road to get to the house.
It happened to be on a farm the lady and her husband that bought the gargoyle owned.
As we found out where she wanted the
gargoyle placed, tony unhooked the fork lift from the bed of the truck, i tipped the statue over and he eased the forks underneath it.
I rode the forks while holding the statue from falling, Tony eased the lift underneath the trees beside a fence, and sat the forks down.
I then braced my shoulder against the gargoyls neck and pushed forward with my feet, tipping the critter back again.
tony then pulls the lift back slowly, and I let the critter ease down so as not to break the base of it with the immense weight.
i happen to get the feeling i'm being watched.
I turn around and look at the electric fence behind me.
and there i see fifty or so pairs of loverly brown eyes looking back at me
where the fence was barren before, there now stood a herd of cows, chewing their cud, and watching us place the statue
Being naturally curious (aka nosy ) animals, they all came over to see the new guy that moved in next door to their pasture
they stayed there the whole time we were there, and wandered away only after we left.
I found it funny as heck for some reason :P

Well what would you have done if you were a cow, bound to be walking on a certain limit of space where next to nothing happens, of course they got curious when they saw you two and the gargoyl (what ever that might be)
I bet it was the highlight of the day for them

That is hilarious! Who knew cows were so nosy! 
I guess I'd want to know what's going on around me if I were them too though. 
That's a great story though! Thanks for sharing, Ben.

Aww, those good dear cows! Reminds me of the pesky ones I took care of for one year. You'd never tell, but cows are really, really curious about any changes that are going on! So darn cute!Posted 03-15-2008 at 10:47 AM by Flamenco_Fleur

Great story, gave me a good laugh!
Sounds a gargoyle must be a cool thing to have

Fleur is absolutely right about cows. They are really curious about things and they can have this eerily calm observation, standing very still and just watching.Posted 03-16-2008 at 06:02 AM by andrew_c
