These guys are my neighbours

The farmer has put a herd of these fellows in the field next to our house. I don’t know what breed of sheep they are but they are the most agreeable chaps imaginable. :slight_smile:

handsome too!

Do they say baaaaa?

I always find those eyes wierd

Well, the eyes and ears coordinate better when they are right together… I…uh… I guess.

Well, of course they would be agreeable! (And, yes! Handsome, too!)

Do they look like this? Four white feet? If so, they’re Balwen Welsh Mountain.

Dixie, you may be thinking of goats’ eyes. They’re very odd–have a satanic cast to them. None of my relatives have that. I think that fellow in the front was blinking when the camera went off.

You have hit the nail on the head there - that’s them all right! :slight_smile: White tips to the tails too. I can hardly resist jumping over the fence to give their coats a damn good ruffling but they’re not quite up for that yet. Has any beast on the planet got a coat that you want to ruffle more than these?

Those are pretty ruffleable alright.

Very handsome sheep/neighbors indeed! I wish I had neighbors like that, all I have are friendly family types… not that there is anything wrong with that.

You are a lucky fellow Mr. Shaw.

:astonished: There are laws for people like you. :astonished:

I thought the laws were against people like that :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:

We must keep things positive, or the thread will disappear mysteriously, along with most of my other posts and threads.

Bears – I just want to grab their little heads and ruffle them and go “Wuzzy, wuzzy, wuzzy wuzzy, wuzzy.”

And on a divergent tack – Are these outdoor goats or indoor goats?

Der ships, nod guts. :really:

djm

Have they offered to keep your lawns clipped and your flower beds weeded yet?

I saw three sheeps come sailing in on Christmas day, on Christmas day.

Ouch! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

“A man who puns would pick a pocket”, you know. :smiley:

OK – gonzo is not so big a man that he cannot admit that he doesn’t know the difference between sheeps and goats without turning them over and checking the label. (But those sure do look like evil goat eyes.)

So – Are these outdoor sheeps or indoor sheeps?

Who gives a sheep, anyhow! :stuck_out_tongue:

Goats and sheep have the same kind of “slot” eyes.
The Chinese don’t distinguish: there is only one character in Chinese to signify the animal which may be either a sheep or a goat.
From this I suspect that the Chinese must operate a different sense of smell from the rest of us…
