Title: My dog thinks he is mum to our orphan lambs
Post by: ellisr on February 27, 2011, 09:56:21 pm

My GSD has taken the 2 orphan lambs under his paw and now thinks he is mummy and has to protect them. He spent the afternoon herding them around the front lawn making sure they didn't go to far from there pen and when they were naughty and wandered of he would yap at them and give them a tap with his paw then walk them back. Needless to say my sides hurt with laughing at the big softie we have now nicknamed him fifi as he is such a fusspot

Never thought of taking photos saying that I wouldn't have been able to focus the camera I was laughing that hard and we had to watch him invade he got a bit carried away and hurt one by accident as he is the clumbsyest dog I have ever known. My friend visited with her puppy once and I toldhim to sit which he did straight on the puppy and then he couldn't understand why we both shouted no at him and spent the rest of the day huffing in the kitchen

I'm trying very hard not to imagine how the lambs will be sucking milk from "him"!  ::)
