Yep, but I dearly love it, and it's a good living.

What do you sell? Or do you really run as a petting zoo?

I used to have a zoo with over 200 animals, 35 different species, but now I only have the ones listed below. I sell baby camels, baby zebra, baby goats, honey and chicken eggs. Soon I'll sell camel milk and cheese.

Ponies come to Commmme  onnnn :)  Dog comes when he fancies it, always manages to pick up a nice sniff of something when you want him to heel :D  But we do have a secret weapon too, a squeak out a toy (he loves them :D ) SHeeps come same as the horses, or on sight really they just come running, bless :)

Well if its my husbands outside he calls the hens in with a '' come on my ladies, followed by good girls, theres good girls, have you had a nice day?  with a Come on ladies for the few stragglers'' but all said in a high pitched sing song voice, if its me its ''come on then'' in a very impatient voice, funnily enough when my 21 yr old moved back in after running out of money she had exactly the same sing song voice with a come on my ladies that I was laughing.......... apparently my husband had been telling her what his ladies liked and that she mustnt stress them at all!!!!!!!! Does seem to be working though getting 2 dozen eggs a day from not many more hens than that so maybe it is working!

I tend to shout 'choooookeeeees', and they'll all charge towards me like some feathered bomber airplanes. As for the cat, he doesn't really care what I call him, mostly it's 'boyboyboy', at times it's 'oi git'

Wizard, Helen can call me anything, I normally dont listen ;)

I've taken on the chuck chuck chuck chookie chookie for the chickens we bought, they seem to like it.  Infact I love my chickens, best thing I ever bought - they are such stars, I love the way when I am talking to walkers on the path they always seem to come up and peck their ankles and shoelaces. Makes great conversation.

Its getting to the point where I dont have to call the sheep now - just have a bucket in hand and they come running.  Herding them down from the top fields today was so so so simple only had to go back twice for a few stranglers indulging on the hedgerows on the way.  Last year they ran a mile from me. This year its like a mile sprint with a bucket in my hand with them all in tow.

Had a good morning :)
