    For sheep Lucielle? I love ours too - she's nearly nine.

    She was originally from a farm but we just wanted her as a pet. She has had a couple of litters but I think she is getting too old for any more.

    Hi Linda and penguin, after reading your post I did go back to my first few panicked posts on this thread. A woman chasing her tail is what came to mind, if that's not too odd an image! I was terrified and convinced they were my last words before drowning in a sea of debt. That I haven't is largely down to the many lovely, helpful and wise people here who have helped me. Just knowing there's a friendly and supportive comment at the end of the wire is amazing, and I wouldn't have coped this far without it.

    :j :money: I LOVE THE DFW BOARD!!!!! :money: :j

    Penguin, thanks for your good luck wishes for the book. It's coming along.

    Lucielle - ours has never been near sheep, but likes to herd US when we're out on a walk!

    FMN xx

    :rotfl: Ha! Is it her way of punishing him for leaving her?! Ours metes out punishment, like forcing out a tiny wee on the carpet if she thinks we've gone off somewhere fun without her.... and people like to say they're not intelligent! :confused:

    Mine can be a bit like Nana off Peter Pan and if we go to the beach she has to know where everybody is.

    We in a similar position re: debts, but thanks to this forum are now making headway with some of it.

    We also have a long haired border collie..he is nuts, best dog ever, and waits patiently by the front door until the last one of his peeps is safely inside,:D
    this includes nightclubbing teenagers who crawl in at 3am...lol
