:laugh: I'd be one of those girls ... you know, the innocent looking ones at the beginning of horror films? Opening credits, me strolling through a field at night for no apparent reason, wearing something totally inappropriate, looking the picture of innocence with plaits in my hair and big wide eyes, when suddenly I'm trampled by a herd of mad cows and my five minutes of fame is over

That looks nice Carra - if only, hey? If I were going to spend big money on a place, I think I go home and get something like this http://www.viviun.com/AD-142871/

Well I jacked this morning. Stood outside the school gates nattering for too long, and ended up road walking the dogs instead .... to the butty shop ... and here I am Fab that's a lovely tale and a great photo! Your childhood visits to the farm sound absolutely idyllic. You're very lucky. I grew up right in the city, but it always felt like I was in the wrong place. After much begging and harassing, my Dad used to drive me north of the city on the odd summer's day, and take me horseback riding - cowboy saddles, none of this silly English stuff with little helmets I enjoyed it and use

:laugh: I'm off out again this morning, not sure where I'm going yet. But if I come across any moo moo's I shall remember that even some of the THL 'ard men are as scared as I am ... I feel so much better now

Not a chance in hell of that happening Jiggy!

Shurrup, not everybody is willing to ride bulls round the fields to prove a point It's all well and good you lot, posting about different types of cattle and their temperaments, but with all the different breeds you're on about I'd have to carry a laminated folder with me for reference. I was born and raised in the city, they all look the bloody same to me! Could probably get one of these laminated folders you're on about from "Farmer's Weekly" Dont forget a torch so you can read it in the dark How on earth would I have time to read that when I'm so busy running away?

Cheers for the close-up shot Fab - I nearly fell off my chair then "what is your favourite colour ..." I must say, I feel much better about being scared now - at least I'm not alone in my irrational fear.

As long as were talking curves and not curves on curves here......... ....no definitely curves. Not fat. Curvy. Pamela Anderson curvy or Dawn French curvy.... lol, don't think pamela anderson is curvy mate, just got bit tits.............. marilyn munro was curvy..

Gorgeous photos However, when they fix you with that blank bovine stare, well ... they ain't so gorgeous then

Sorry but ... :laugh: :laugh: It's not so bad if the field is a big one and they're busy elsewhere and don't take much notice of me. I find I'm more comfortable in large areas. But they had me cornered today. Sure they would've disposed of me quick smart if I'd taken another step forward. I turned my head to eyeball the gate, see if maybe I could get to that and over fast enough but when I looked back they'd all turned their heads to see what I was looking at - then they looked back at me as if to say 'go on, dare you to try'. Hateful creatures.

Once when I was out lamping alone I found myself within spitting distance of a bull - not that I spit, very unladylike - and I couldn't clear out of there quick enough. I ended up going miles out of my way so I wouldn't have to go over the fence there ... the calves and cows were all lined up near the fence, staring at me in the darkness. Blech. Himself says I'm being a sissy and can't understand why I'm so twitchy around cows. So of course I'm trying not to be. Failed miserably today tho. I tried to force myself past them and over a gate but my feet turned me around all by themselves

I'd have spoken to the management about it first. I would've maybe even contacted a ferret welfare group to have them get in touch with the shop if I was that concerned. Last folks I would call is the rspca - shower of b@stards.

I've a pair of army issue gaitors - you might be able to get them from Army surplus? Frankly I find them a fussy bit of equipment and don't use them very often.

I have issues with cows. I don't like to walk in fields with cows, it's like a phobia However, I'm trying to overcome that since avoiding cows is really limiting my mooches. Last week I managed just fine, with some cows up the top of a field and myself and the mutts scooting past across the middle I was all proud of myself till today. I went over a stile on a public footpath, down a little track, and was suddenly faced with a whole whack of cows. The calves took umbrance to my passing them and started darting around,alerting all the big 'uns to my presence. Then all the cows turned to f

Canny be that good if your still single.............. Only just after nearly 5 years I'm looking for rebound lovin :laugh: Aw Mushy, you're not serious are you? Sorry to hear that if you've split up matey.

I've heard they make nice pets too actually. But in a country without a native population, why on earth risk the potential for them to colonise here by allowing them in as pets. The gov't folks who decided that was a good idea should get some skunk perfume for a thank you gift I love that there are (supposed to be) no skunks here - makes walking the dogs so much more relaxing!
-
There's a few dafties who keep skunks as pets here, and I seem to remember reading that there is a colony living wild now somewhere in the UK? Now that's bad news.

If I had to choose between painful ops, pins, plates and long drawn out crate rest, I'd just have the leg off and be done with it. Most dogs will get on amazingly well on three legs. And a lot of working dogs make really good pets in the right home, so if I wasn't in a position to keep it I'd find someone who could.

I use one. A most valuable tool - saves me bellowing like a lunatic when the lurcher is miles away
