Empty It Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Not for a day or two, they're away to his cousin's house, she has an even bigger back garden than we have, and her grass needs cut. I'm not sure putting sheep into a field/garden with grass up to their oxters is a sensible idea or not, I always thought sheep were good for keeping grass cropped, but not for getting it down to a croppable level, but I'm no farmer.So instead of cutting their grass the cousin has just decided to borrow a couple of sheep?Sent from my SM-J600FN using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to shoot off up the nearest tree whenever they saw someone (or someone's dog) on the horizon. Now they just look at you like, "what?". They've obviously worked out the top speed of yer average mutt and/or owner, and don't give much of a fúck about any threat we might pose. Furry little tree rat tw@s. Those ones at Dunfermline (Pittencrieff Park) expect to be fed. If you turn up armed with nuts and can't get one to come right up to you then you must be OFTW* in their eyes. *not OFW, that's the local goalkeeper Edited September 30, 2021 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Genuinely might try and find a pack of stray dogs and become one of them now. Wolves would be great but I can imagine getting in with them might be a bit more difficult. Ostriches can f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was once told that if you put an ostrich facing into a corner it would just stay there and eventually die because it doesn't have the intelligence to turn it's head and move in another direction. I always thought it was bullshit but at the same time it gave me a perception of ostriches that I've never shifted. 2 minutes ago, Bairnardo said: Aye. Hard to get wolves. Everyone wants wolves.

Perhaps a more humane middle-ground solution would be to get his painter/decorator son to spray-paint them all ginger? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
