Right inside the cows\u2019 hay feeder. Maybe it&#8217;s because it\u2019s warm and cozy, and it still lets them keep an eye on everything going on around the farm. The only problem is that it makes mealtime a bit tricky for the cows. To reach their hay, they have to pay a \u201ckiss tax\u201d to the pups first.

One commenter cracked us up when they joked, &#8220;That last bark from the hay pile\u2026must be working remotely today. LOL!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">@rebecca_michelemaria pointed out, &#8220;I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve seen happier dogs!
