From someone who learned a lot at Freddiesfarm, I hope the adoption works out. I would have loved to offer her a home but with three Spaniels who are all selectively deaf I dont think I could cope!
Quote from: Freddiesfarm on May 10, 2012, 07:25:38 amI don't need to be patronised but as a mere weak and feeble woman I am trying to manage a flock of 300 ewes plus 400 lambs not to mention 8 dogs, 3 horses and a couple of bullocks. Posting the message above was the hardest thing I have ever done as I have spent the last two years trying to work out how to keep little Meggie happy but in my environment with mostly rented land and crap fencing I cannot afford for her occassional bouts of over enthusiasm.so don't patronise or judge - it really doesn't help anyone! I hope this wasn't meant for me.I suggested the dog part of the forum in case anyone on there would take your dog and they may not haveread the sheep forum.I suggested trying to 'work' the dog in a smaller area as an option which you may not have considered, how's anyone to know that you've spent two years wrestling with a problem.Mostly this forum is very friendly and helpful but now and again people can jump down someones throat.
