My dear Fitzi-cat was a complete softie and expected me to rescue him from any drama. He would explore occassionally but mostly was happy just staying close to the house. Button, on the other hand, wanders te fields around the house and down to the shore.<br /><br />Dancer - Tee hee - I love your description! Not sure what breed of sheep it was but it does look rather round! I think lambing is near hence the size - sometimes the ewes look almost square by the time they lamb! Like the old naive paintings of sheep and cattle - a corner at each end!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-74032776062546626632011-03-01T18:20:31.094+00:002011-03-01T18:20:31.094+00:00I like Button's King Canute moment!
And that ...I like Button's King Canute moment! <br />And that has to be one of the roundest sheep I've ever seen. It looks as if it's puffed itself up, the way a cat does when confronted by a rival.

She soon had all the dogs in the neighbourhood put in their rightful (to her) place. Including a harmless airdale that would be walked past our home daily by his person, that is until the day that the little madam Bits dashed out, whacked the airdale on the nose while hissing and growling at it. From then on this poor doglet would drag its person right across the road before it would agree to walk past our home!<br /><br />My darling tabby, male rescue-cat - Zebby - is the complete opposite. He loves to stay at home and be safe and secure with His person (me) and is scared by any other humans visiting, the dear wussy and super affectionate Zebby Cat.<br /><br />Go Button and Squeak!Mickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.com
