On a lighter note. Jack the sheep who thinks he is a dog.

[snagglepuss]

snip

A sheep that was rescued as a lamb and brought up with a springer spaniel is now convinced he is a sheep dog.

Jack is so sure he is a canine he fetches sticks, wears a collar and a lead, jumps up on his hind legs and even tries to bark.

The six-month-old pet doesn't even recognise his own species and tries to herd sheep when he is put in the field with the rest of the flock.

Sheep veterinary expert David Howell said: "Sheep are more intelligent than some people think and they are very capable of learned behaviour.

22. I loved 'Babe.'

Had a cardboard movie cut-out of Babe and hung it on my wall.

I love animals.

That sheep is adorable.

My cousin has a goat and as a young goat he acted just like their dog. I guess now he has grown up, wasn't neutered, and is a pain....just like my cousin. lol!

14. 50 years ago, I had a pet pig we named Poochie. She lived inside our house until she weighed about

75 pounds. She would follow us without a lead and chased our school bus. My dad let us keep her until she was around 4 years and 600 pounds. She could not be bred due to a bad back hip. We always thought her mother had rolled over on her and crushed the hip.
