I have never known a bulldog but despite their common portrayal as the epitome of defiant Britishness I rather suspect they may be softy wimps at heart, and Winifred's photo in the sidebar supports this (the one of Winifred with her head snuggled up against that of another softy wimp, perhaps...)
Winnie is too cute and as i glance across at the pic with the family, one very self satisfied looking bulldog. Gosh, she must weigh a tonne but i know its not polite to discuss a ladies weight. There is a lot to love.
They are just about to shed and spend a lot of their time rubbing themselves against the wire fencing both are now eating from my hand, though they remain nervous, especially of strangers
We used to have an old tup that would butt you from behind when you weren't looking. Dropped me to the ground on more than one occasion then got chased round the field while I tried (in vain) to kick him!
When our old dog became a little too"sheep obsessed" a friend of ours suggested we put him in a field with their Tup... He learnt very quickly that sheep were not to be messed with!. He now turns away from sheep
Just a heads up then.......ewes become very aggressively protective in the last portion of their pregnancy and when the lambs are born. Might want to get Winnie a rear view mirror to keep tabs on her arse attacking ovines! Cheers.
With a title like that I had to read! Look out, Winnie!
ReplyDeleteAnd what was the reaction of the bulldog?

ReplyDeletegod how i envy you green grass
ReplyDeleteAnd how are the sheep doing? Are they less skittish? Have they shed their coats, poor things?
ReplyDeleteThey are just about to shed and spend a lot of their time rubbing themselves against the wire fencing both are now eating from my hand, though they remain nervous, especially of strangers
DeleteI've enjoyed my escape from my world to yours, if only briefly!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have a lot of losses recently Kim... Time to re charge a little?
DeleteTalk about a picture being worth a thousand words!!!
ReplyDeleteJohn, I'm honored to be an old follower!
ReplyDeleteHa. Winnie probably didn't even notice.:-)
ReplyDeleteThat is just too funny.....
ReplyDeleteYay Winnie. She landed on all four feet when she moved in with you. Can you imagine life without her now?
ReplyDeleteWe need to see pictures 2 and 3.
ReplyDeleteWinnie knows who rules the roost, and it's not a scruffy ewe by any manner of means!
ReplyDeleteThe unstoppable butt meets immovable butt - isn't that a scientific paradox?
ReplyDeleteIrene expected the arse to move
DeleteIt didn't!
I know a good lawyer if Winnie wants to sue Irene for sexual assult!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the ewe needs a good haircut - do you get them sheared?
ReplyDeleteShe's just about to shed her wool, Soay sheep don't need shearing Elaine
DeleteWe used to have an old tup that would butt you from behind when you weren't looking. Dropped me to the ground on more than one occasion then got chased round the field while I tried (in vain) to kick him!
ReplyDeleteBeing butted feels like you have been hit by a train.....I know only too well
DeleteWhen our old dog became a little too"sheep obsessed" a friend of ours suggested we put him in a field with their Tup... He learnt very quickly that sheep were not to be messed with!. He now turns away from sheep
DeleteThis one would always go dor the back of your knees when you weren't looking.
DeleteMaybe Irene was confused as to which way round Winnie was standing. (No no no! Sweet Winnie. Love her to bits!)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant picture :-)
ReplyDeleteGod I love that dog, she's gorgeous!!
Winifred appears to be presenting her arse to the ewe - as if she desires butting! If Winifred could sing she'd be singing, "Come on Irene!"
ReplyDeleteWinifred should be a character actor!
ReplyDeleteDo you have an "after" shot? I hope this didn't end badly LOL
ReplyDeleteYou live a comedy my friend. A fabulous comedy.
ReplyDeleteOh Winnie!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo John!
Look out she's behind you! Oh no she isn't Oh yes she is, etc, etc
ReplyDeleteDid you ever have a ram visit your girls John? Any chance you'll have little Soay field residents?
ReplyDeleteThis autumn Kelly!
DeleteJust a heads up then.......ewes become very aggressively protective in the last portion of their pregnancy and when the lambs are born. Might want to get Winnie a rear view mirror to keep tabs on her arse attacking ovines! Cheers.
DeleteI agree with YP, looks like Winnie's looking over her shoulder expectantly. Has she got some kind of sheep fetish, I wonder??
ReplyDeleteRule: Never turn your back on Irene.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I really do want to own that dear bulldog.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, poor Winnie.
