We like a happy ending here on Field Day, which is why this story about a sheep coming to the rescue of a dog has warmed our hearts. Dobby, the Labrador-cross, was chasing sheep when he fell 250ft down a cliff in Devon. Luckily for Dobby, it seems sheep don’t hold a grudge and he [...]
We never know who we’re going to get contacted by next at Field Day. Now we’ve received an email from those lovely folks at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home. They take in many cats which would suit living on farms – cats which, although friendly, would be happier having more space and freedom than companion [...]
We’ve talked about animals with identity issues before. Well here’s another one – a sheep in Shropshire that thinks it’s a dog.
We love nothing better than a cute picture of a cuddly canine here on Field Day and this photo of Ice the border collie is no exception.Posted by FWispace user Countryk9 in our Harvest Highlights gallery, the snap shows Ice playing in freshly-mown grass before the rowing machine arrives at Langford and Partners in Cheshire.Judging [...]
Probably to the relief of most of you, my sojourn on Field Day is almost at an end. Tim will be back next week, complete with an impressive sun tan and probably still decked out in his holiday Bermuda shorts and flip-flops. I felt I couldn’t let my last day go by though without a final [...]
Continuing the downward spiral in the quality of Field Day content in Tim’s absence, I thought it only right and proper to continue the WoW (World of Whimsy) battle with Gob of the Wash. He countered my effort yesterday with this little number over in his blog. I reckon we can do better than a [...]
Apologies to Field Day readers who’ve noticed I haven’t been writing much on pets recently. Hopefully these two will make amends. Thanks to Paola for the picture of the extraordinarily cute Coco Bean (above) and Sahar for the one of Nutmeg (below). And yes, Nutmeg is what my cat’s also called – that’s why she emailed [...]
Judging by the contents of my email inbox this morning, anyone would think the silly season had started early. Looks like it could be a day of pet-related stories… We’ve featured tales of the massive and the minute before (the Shire horse and the Jack Russell) but here are two very disparate dogs. It’s [...]
OK, I lied. I said that today would be a day of serious news but, frankly, I hadn’t anticipated this. A swimming Persian.
Today is obviously a day of bizarre stories involving animals. I’ve been sent three links. The first, a heartwarming story of a dog reunited with its young owner after five years (all together now: Aaaarrrhhh). The second, a dog washing machine in Japan. The third, a video of a man teaching an alpaca to surf [...]
