Thereā€™s another alternative ā€¦ the Pioneer community here in the treehouse continues to grow ā€¦ well ā€¦ thereā€™s quite a few folks here that could have their sheep alter ego!

And how do you suppose Im going to remember all those namesā€‹:joy::joy::joy: and match them to the sheep. This lot is small and most are different. We still have 100+ mules and welch (type off sheep) and loads look a like . I will have sleepless nights trying to remember. And than there is the point that some off the named sheep will end up going to market :sweat::sweat: what happens if I have to tell you that little woolly kaveh has gone to market than it will become a sad treehouse. :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

This is true ā€¦ whatā€™s the cost of keeping them as happy sheep for their whole lives (asks a City slicker clearly!) ā€¦ can they produce joy and fluff all their life or do they have to go to the market!

I canā€™t really tell you the up keep for one sheep. As just one isnā€™t that much, but itā€™s the space they canā€™t stay a whole year in one field as fields need to be rotated. To keep the fields and sheep free from decease. The time everyday, they need checking as sheep have a tendency to get stuck on their backs and they will die if they get stuck for to long. They can get a lot off deceases. :person_facepalming::person_facepalming: If you would buy a breeding ewe from the market they probably start around the Ā£180 and thatā€™s for a cross bred. Pure breds will be more. And the once that go to market pay for the once staying. :person_shrugging::person_shrugging:

I have been thinking of sheep walking. You have alpaca walks but I think it can be done with sheep.

People with anxiety that donā€™t have a pet or access to animals in the city would they be interested? Or would that add to the anxiety?

I find the animals donā€™t judge if you green, purple blue, white , black thin or chubby like me :joy::joy:their happy to see you with food or just for a scratch.

Itā€™s been a idea :thinking::thinking: than more sheep can stay :relaxed::relaxed:

A lovely walk in the country side. And talk as much or as little to the sheep :sheep: your walking. Ask questions if you want and I can tell you about the sheep or if you want the enjoy the peace and quiet I can be :shushing_face: after the walk you can go to the village pub for a drink and a meal . Kids can come or stay at home . :person_shrugging::person_shrugging: Itā€™s just a idea.

On days where my anxiety is bad I donā€™t like leaving the house at all. But I can definitely be persuaded if there are animals :joy:
Like today Iā€™ve left the house for the first time in over two weeks to take my doggo on a playdate.

So for me personally I think it would be good to go see sheep for a while

Thatā€™s good to know. Thank you @lrakarid and @chris.king5 I might have to look and see if itā€™s just enough to have public liability insurance or if we need a special insurance. :hugs::hugs:
