Can't stop laughing ....

Sackable offence!

We had cows once. Took months to fill in the hoof marks.

I only wish someone had sheep near here that would obligingly eat my grass!

It would save me a lot of mowing.

This is not just grass. This is super-tasty, sheep-approved-for-grazing grass .

JUST BRILLIANT Doodledog ! and the capitals are deliberate

As a postman it was a stackable offence to bring undelivered mail back to the office, unless there was a solid reason. That reason had to be approved by a manager and the returned mail endorsed with that reason. The most common one was "Dog at Large".

My walk bordered a Common separated from the road by a gate. I turned the corner to find the gate open and one garden packed with cows happily munching the owners grass! I am not scared of cows, but there was no way I could reach the front door, so had to return the letters to the Sorting Office and get permission from my manager to endorse the letters. It took me nearly 15 minutes to convince him we needed to endorse the letters "Cows at Large"! He was convinced I was making it up.

Dottynan my friend has a cat constantly raiding her hedgehog house. She has tried various ways of making it inaccessible to moggies, but the pesky thing always manages to find a way in, to eat all the food.
My house faces on to common land. The farm up the lane used to host the Blackpool seaside donkeys for their winter holidays. It was a joy to see them galloping and rolling after a long summer confined to stables. They had a knack of escaping from the field, though. I would glance out of the windows and...oh no! They're out again! A few quick phone calls to the farm, and the neighbours, and it was all hands on deck to round them up before they reached a busy road.
They no longer come, since the farmer died. I miss those hilarious round-ups, but couldn't see myself chasing donkeys any more, at my time of life. I could do with a sheep or two, though, to help with the mowing.

We don’t get sheep, but we do get ducks, even though they live over half a mile away. It’s such fun to see them pulling at our plants!!

Brilliant - but have you had the lords a-leaping yet? Be aware there’ll be eight maids milking on Saturday presumably with cows, apart from Tuesday (5 gold rings!) due to birdflu you might be ok. 🎄

How sweet is that ... made me laugh ... thats what we all need a good laugh , especially how things are at the moment ... may have left their manure ... keeps grass growing & nice & tasty for them ... God bless them, also you for sharing this lovely story ... saves time & energy in mowing the lawn !

Good job it wasn't a goat

Apologies for the language, but this is really funny

Trying to tidy up our back garden after keeping chickens, in preparation for selling our house, we laid down new turf.

We woke up the next morning to find our new lawn devastated by a badger. It had been attracted by the easily accessible worms beneath the turf.

Only two sheep this morning ! Got up really early to let cats out as , being totally stupid, realised these ewes are probably pregnant, so no way do they need any stress. Cats now snuggled in their beds and sheep happily grazing, hopefully that is the way it will stay !
I'm wrong another two have just walked in !

Oh my goodness - hares are my favourite animal. I’d love to have one of those as a garden visitor - I often watch a YouTube of a big leveret in an Irish garden just calmly eating grass.

We sometimes have a hare which crops the grass around our house. It is fully appreciated but it could do with some friends to help. It is quite tame and doesn't run off when we go out of the door.

Did someone say a sheepcat? I'm available.

I've never seen a curly cat before. Is it a catapoo

We have a hedgehog feeding box and suddenly all the food was cleared every night so I put a garden camera out only to find it was a local siamese cat clearing the bowl. Considering the opening is just big enough for a hedgehog the cat did well to wriggle in and then back out.

Some years ago I was busy in the kitchen and my 3 year old son called from the living room "Horsey Mummy". Thinking he was watching tv I just said "lovely" but he persisted so I went to have a look and there were two horses on the front lawn chomping their way through it ! Unsure what to do I phoned the local police station (yes it was that long ago !)and told the desk sergeant. His response was "ok Madam, we will send a posse". Apparently several horses had escaped from a local riding school and had caused quite a lot of damage to cars as they hoofed it down the main road. Two ladies soon appeared and led them back home.

Oh how lovely, BlondieScot

We have rentable border collie. Only downside is that she is scared of sheep!!

Go out with something white trailing behind you and they will think it is food and follow you

Sorry, I never post photos of anything on a public website.

Understandable Hazel.

Is that a cuddly toy?

That is so very funny. Same thing happened to us about 35 years ago. We live on the border of London/Kent, quite rural, and I’d just arrived home from work in the City, looked out of the patio windows to see a flock of sheep in the garden! They found their way home to the field, with little damage to our fence. 🐑🐑🐑

Love it, hazel93

When we lived in Devon, a neighbour used to borrow a couple of sheep from a farmer each year to keep his lawn shorn!
