Title: Saving a sheep Post by: Aafke on 09-Jan-12, 05:18:28 PM When a sheep is lying on his back, it is in big trouble and it is not able to turn him self. The sheep will die in a short time because the intestine are pushing on the his lungs.
The first time was a few years ago, it was very easy, we saw a sheep on his back, Robert walked to the sheep, gave it a push and that was that. (http://www.kodakgallery.com/imaging-site/services/doc/5358:7652679070103/jpeg/BG/async) The sond time it was on Texel with my sister and we saw a sheep on his back but didn't know what to do, there was a high fence and a stream. We looked around for a farmhouse orso. There came a car, it stopped next to us, a man get out the car, climbed over the fence, jumped over the stream, pushed the sheep back on his feet and came back.

We stopped at a special bird place, I was looking around and saw something moving in the grass, probably a dead bird and the wind is moving the wings. But I always want to know and looked through the telescope, it was hard to see but it was a sheep on his back. I asked Robert to save the sheep, again there was a high fence and a stream, but Robert didn't believe that the sheep was in danger. After a long time and a lot of talking from me, he climbed over the fence and saved the sheep. Good job Robert!!!!

You said you saved a Sheep and a man helped you. I wonder how many die without being helped. Very sad but 3 very happy sheep because of you! Thank you!

Aafke: "No, he's going to die". Robert: "The sheep is fine. I'm not climbing over the fence." Aafke: "Please? Please? Save the sheep for me, please? I'll stop making noise". Robert: "Ok, I'll go over the fence and move the sheep"! Or something like that ;) Title: Re: Saving a sheep Post by: Aafke on 10-Jan-12, 06:28:25 AM Janet, you are sooo right!!!!
