Mowing my tender lawn I think of all the animals on the farm who would love this. What we need here in the city is the Urban Shepherd. Someone who tends a very small herd of kid friendly sheep and takes them from lawn to lawn. He/she would operate much the same as lawn services but they might need
one block at a time to sign up instead of just one lawn.
Bonus: If it doesn't work out there are a lot of barbeques around.
(?) Same with goats

Same idea different animal, no points for cows, llamas, alpacas or other similar herbivours! |
|

Bonus: You might also find a small supply of fertiliser in your garden after each visit... |

They have these in Germany. The council pays wandering herdsmen to take their sheep to graze common land and meadows. It's just a hop. skip and jump to doing the same for gardens I suppose. Only problem is, how do you stop them eating the plants that you want to keep?? |

No 1 son, aged 5, tells me he wants to be a shepherd. I say, how wonderful son, I am so proud of you but why? I want to wear a badge, ride a horse, drink beer and shoot the baddies. |

Receiving the Freedom of London gives you the right to drive your sheep across certain London bridges, amongst other things. |

//Does your sheep have left-hand drive, or right-hand?// can some one tell me why that sounds grammatically awfuk? |
|
| |
<grin> sheep don't drive, they just run about all over the place looking for grass. |
