I thought they used cow poo for that?


We did, we did - the remainder of which now has two Action Men slowly sinking into it

When are you next in Aber by the way - are we doing lunch?

But I digress. Who's got time to collect sheep poo?.


Well, my terrier likes to pick bits up and run off with it.. I'm wondering if I could train him to retrieve enough pieces... like a truffle dog only, um... well, a bit different!

but if there's a market for it....

Our Jack Russell does that too - well, any poo from any rear end will do for him. He does look particularly funny with a large lump of sheep poo in his mouth though - a sort of canine Winston Churchill with cigar!

Pehaps we could train a pack of 'em...?

Is that aimed at me, m'dear? I've been thinking about Aber for a while: haven't been for ages, but maybe I should.

Of course it's aimed at you! Just let me know when you're likely to be coming in some time and we'll do lunch. You could always combine it with a visit to the National Library or the Farmer's Co-op...

Oh crumbs, Christmas is starting to snowball already! It'll have to be some time after September, though, or we won't be allowed to buy anything. What about going to the CAT too?

Sheep nut snowballs? Would it work with pig nuts or layers' pellets?

Layers' pellets would be a bit small, don't you think? Perhaps you could moisten some chick crumbs and squidge them together.

Chick crumbs? The chicks have eaten them all! And I'm not buying them in just to make balls.
