Now if that guy cleans up after himself, he is a real keeper.

And to think these guys were culled up until a few decades ago!

My father had one as a boy that was ‘free’ from a breeder, it was going in the lake otherwise..

A border collie would quickly find some sheep to do the mowing for him.

If you think that’s impressive, you should see Ricardo, the leaf-blowing Chihuahua.

We just finished fostering a white shepherd. I’m glad he has a good home, but I sure miss the little guy.

I love this story and I thank you for posting it. I don’t know if Flymos are sold in the US any more, but used ones could still be found in the State of WAshington in the 1980s.

My son’s track coach used to collect them. THey’d be heading to a meet, or a Sat. work out, when coach would suddenly pull off the road at a yard sale, hop out, negotiate a price, and bring back another used Flymo. He’d refurbish those that could be refurbished, and scrap out those that couldn’t.

The Flymo is a type of lawnmower that has no wheels. It runs on a blanket of compressed air that keeps the blades a uniform distance off the ground. It’s great on hilly ground or on steep banks because you never scalp the ridge of thel hill, or edge of the bank. I’ve always been fascinated by them and haven’t seen one for more than 20 years.

My sister emailed me a video about Patches, the horse that takes car rides, eats fast food, watches TV and fetches beer from the fridge. Oh, he answers the phone too, but as his owner says, he doesn’t talk, just moves his lips LOL
