Just wondering really as tonight Ebony was at the far end of the 9 acres, any further over and she would have been half way to Calais :rolleyes: So I start to walk well in my case wobble slowly across the field yelling for all my worth, nothing did not even lift her head up :eek: I kept wobbling and yelling still nothing. God know how long it took me, but I was loosing the will to live :D Then when I was about 2 feet away from her at last she looks up:D Big smiley face, Hello Sweet Pea I say, then in a flash she comes charging past me and nearly knocks me of my foot, when I turn round all I can see is a Big Black Bottom disappearing out of sight :eek: Trust me was not calling her Sweet Pea at this moment :mad: So I wobble all the way back to the gate where Precious is standing looking at me with a face that said what took you so long :D
So please tell me that yours also have this hearing defect when it suits them :rolleyes:
 
Yup,my boy will ignore me on fresh grazing, or even put his head up and look right at me, than put it back down again and sometimes will walk off a few steps if i go to catch him, he knows that this is bad manners and stops with a 'Dont think so pal, BLOODY STAND!' and then he looks at me as if to say 'well i gotta try right?'. :D :rolleyes:
 
oh yes!
'coooommmmmeeeeee on, in timeeeeeee'....... i dont exist

yet 'carrots!!!!!' well all ears point in my direct :rolleyes:
 
Yes mine do! They only hear/come to call at dinner time when they hear me coming from miles away and charge straight to the gate! if they see me with rugs or tack we have to play join up!
 
in the winter the herd can hear me when they are on the third field, out across 30 acres, a good 15 minute walk.... at the moment I can stand a few metres away and they take no notice, so much grass they aren't even interested in hard feed!
 
Sounds familiar. .....

I go to the field, shout madam, she looks up with a slightly quizzical expression "Did I hear something?"

I shout again and she puts her head back down and carries on eating, clearly convinced she was hearing things.

I trudge up the hill puffing, panting andsswearing until I get 100yds away when madam raises her head calls to me and looks surprised that I have "snuck up on her" :rolleyes:

It is strange when she's in she hears my car coming and shouts hello before I get in the barn...... :rolleyes:
 
Yup. Deano turns his bum in my direction when he glimpses me arriving then jerks his head up as if totally taken aback by my 'sudden' arrival at his head, despite me having called repeatedly for him for the ten minutes it took me to reach him. Charming!
 
Yes and likes to do a big fart too in indignation that I dare disturb particularly when dealing with back end ie tail brush...saves the trumpeting just for me!
