Oh dear ....know the feeling I rehomed a castrated Shetland tup. Lovely lad, very friendly. People come from miles around to visit him. BUT .....I have walked miles looking for that sheep. He can squeeze through diddy gaps, if someone comes in the gate, he is out like lightening. And gone in an instant - vanishes. He has been good recently, until yesterday. Got from work and he was standing waiting outside th gate to be let in. Improvement on going all over the village, so I am grateful for that.
He has lots of grass, company, so why does he want to wander. And when he does go in someone else's field, he does not mix with their sheep. Just stands bleating waiting for silly old me to go and fetch him. I just listen for his pathetic bleat when I call out his name......I think he gave himself a fright, and thought I was never coming for him, once. He was gone two days and I hunted all over. Finally found him in next doors massive field. Stood by the fence as far as he could get ......head down, looking very depressed. I swear he smiled when he saw me!!
And me? Definitely not smiling .....he had somehow got through locked gates and high fences, and I struggled for two hours to find a way out of the blooming field to get him home. He heard a bit of bad language that day.
