  1. Domestic Animals

    Share Share Post
    At home we have a cow, two pigs, and an ass. We have a cat and a dog.
    When people are driving cows, they say "hi - ho" and " chew on". When they are calling pigs they say "chac - chac". When they are calling a dog they say "heugh - heugh". And when they are calling a cat they say "puss - puss".
    When people clip horses they put the hair in holes in the wall for luck. Mr Murphy of Greyrobin puts the hair in the wall for luck.
