Sheep are also good dancers

It would be interesting to know how this turns out. I once raised two orphaned lambs and they became quite dependent on me. They were smarter than the other sheep and always found a way out of the fence and up to the house to call for me. They grow so fast --the driver will likely soon have a rather large sheep trying to get up to the wheel with him!

Have to add this -- sheep make great watchdogs too. My first home in Alaska was very rural (1and 1/2 mi. to the first dirt road) and people often had to walk in during winter and spring break-up. The dog would lounge around until someone was on the doorstep but the sheep were always on the lookout. If I saw them staring down the road I knew someone was on the way. One day the two of them chased a moose back down the trail! Imagine a one ton moose running from a small Shetland sheep  - it was so surprised it slipped on the ice and had to scramble up to get away!

This story reminded me something actually..

Years ago, when I was still working on the constuction sites in the wild, a baby goat was rescued from village dogs by our watchman in the middle of a night. (they were like wild dogs and can be quite scary some times) 

He was so cute and lovely and we fed him for a few days along with two dogs (sivas kangal) I used to have. The owner found out his goat was with us and when he wanted to take him back, I bought the goat from him because the goat got used to us, he was lovely, and he was playing with my dogs..

The goat grew up with the dogs and he was fed at the same time as the dogs (of course he was not given meat )

We could see the goat was sleeping in the dog house and the dogs were sleeping out side from time to time. When the dogs were barking and running after something, he was following them with his ´beeeeeeee´. 

I think he had an serious identity issues..

Anyway, there was a long holiday and when I came back, the goat was missing. I think some people who did not like me there, ate him..  

When he comes of age he will get his own vehicle . . . a jeep.

Well I´m reading a Bill Bryson at the moment and, according to him, Moose have no brains.

I´ve seen a moose that was trained to work for some gold miners. He was clever. Also we have moose in and out of our yard all the time. They are smart and smug about it. Did you know they are more dangerous than bears here in Alaska? I try to warn the tourists about that as they hop out to take photos.

I´ve never seen a live moose as I live in the UK.  As I was reading Bryson´s chapter on moose and their stupidity on the roads, I was reminded of the many pheasant where I live.  They wait at the side of the road and as soon as they see a car coming they jump in front of it!!!  I think this is where the phrase "bird brain" may have been coined.
