So...
If mares eat oats (and they do) and does eat oats (whenever they can get them), who the hell is feeding little lambs ivy?

I do, of course, that is if I can find them. But if I leave them alone will they come home?
Good God, woman, are you three bags full to the wind? Ivy can be poisonous if the wrong variety!
UH OH!
Now I know what they mean when they say bo peep keeps losing her sheep.
And I just thought I had a whole lot of bad luck!
You think that was bad luck? Wait until the PETA people read this!
Forget PETA.
Bo Peep we're on to you.
There's no place you can hide.
We will not rest until we have found you and brought you to justice.
Tonight, you will sleep with the fish.
-es. Fish-es.
bo peep/serta sheep. You win. This time. God, I needed that.
Oh wait, wait, wait...question? If bo peep is going to sleep wit de fish(es) does that mean the serta sheep's "taking her to the mattress"?
sheesh
Ok
Fish-es
Please realize that we try our best to master the idiosyncracies of the English language. I'm mean we're bilingual...do you know many humans who've bothered to learn sheep?
Um...do you REALLY want me to answer that?
Ahhh!
The warbler is very, very clever.
shh! don't tell anyone - it'll blow my cover(s).
Warbler,
Thanks for solving the mystery about what's happening with bo peep's sheep. I've been wondering why she keeps 'losing them'
and you call yourself a sheep dog!
What?
Just because I make an innocent mistake suddenly EVERYBODY is after me? Spend a day in my shoes, yes, my small squeaky shoes- every day herding sheep up the hillside and then down the hillside..day after day.. after day.
So, how I am supposed to know that some ivy is not good for lambs?? UH? Like I have a degree in botany?
Warbler,
Thanks for the fun.
Now we've got to go and bother some insomniacs
Is anyone watchimg out for "akiddle"? You know they will always eat ivy too! Wouldn't you? Is this whole line a little bit,"jumble and jivy" ?
Geez, watchful herder, now that you mention it the words sound queer and funny to my ear, but hey I'm just a sheep.
Warbler,
First, I commend you on taking up the plight or in this case, the very silence of the lambs who have not been able to voice their outrage at having to eat poisonous varieties of Ivy.
Second, the lambs are not our only concern here. What about the mares and does? Do they really want to eat oats? Don't they really want to be free? To run free on the range grazing on the wild foods that sustained their ancestors and keep them healthier than store bought feed? Who speaks for them?
Oats are a symbol of subordination of animals to the human species. We must remember that these animals are not ours to use, they too, have the right to determine their own existence.
Thank you for introducing this topic in your forum,
gratefully

ARRRGH!
Peta Pan! There's nothing tastier than a well-grilled nice and juicy lamb chop, with a dollop of mint jelly on the side!
What do you think of that?
Gee, if only Town Council Meetings were this much fun!
Stereotypes. I can't stand it.
Most of us in the marine world prefer to be called fish, or on more intimate ocassions 'the fishies'. The "sleep wid da fishes" line really refers to the sharks out here. It was something cooked up by their land-based cousins aka the loan sharks. Please don't paint us all with the same brush.
