    Contd by Dom McGrath, Castle Hill.
    My uncle has three cows and he calls them Fanny, Lizzie and maggie. When he has finished milking them he puts a cross on the cows' backs. He ties the cows with chains.
    He also has 3 horses and 1 filly, and calls them Molly, Mick and Charley. He ties his horses with halters.
    We have a cat at home and we call her Mary. When we want her we say "Pych, Pych, Pych". Also we have 12 hens and 12 chickens but have no names on them.
