Should I get Herc a Companion?

Writing about the fibreglass cows in Cowaramup, Western Australia, and wishing I could have a small one in Herc's paddock reminded me of these sheep we saw in England some years ago.
As someone pointed out, creations like these don't create a mess which is a big thing in their favour. I wonder if Herc would like one of these for company rather than a cow?

I think a sheep would be a good company, ut a cow would be lovely too. lol
I think Herc might find them boring though.

They are really cool. He may just like one and I am sure he would like it better then a cow.

Are you meaning real ones? These are made of some sort of wire and/or netting. And Smooch is having a turn of being an avatar! That's nice.

This is a very nice idea! In the past when I had a cat, later I bought another cat so that they could be friends My dad said if I didn't buy another cat, then our cat would not live for so long time. Having a company did change his life

That's true. They wouldn't eat much though would they?

How about a real one. And if you do that all the love that he gives you I am sure will be transferred.

@JudyEv I agree with you. We just cannot go away when we have pets. One is bad enough

@JudyEv I think that might be the best thing to do and then stay close by, if he thinks it is a girl, things could get interesting lol

In what way? He might wonder why we put a sheep in with him when he thinks he's a human. :)
