Tim.......ears ;D ;D a peculiar habit which she grew out of with maturity!! ( don't we all ???......well.......some of us do!! Ha!! ;) )
Pat...Yes , sadly no longer with us.
Sheep !.....live very close to farm, garden backs on to fields, so probably the farmer yelling and wielding stick to round them up, that frightened her as a pup !!
She loved cows, squirrels, rabbits and hedgehogs!! ;D ........but growled at anyone with a walking stick! ( probably farmer thing again! )
