What did I walk in on?

[Farmercharliesblog]

I was visiting my sheep when I once again found them sitting in a small group. I understand that is flocking behavior but I witness it with my dogs and sheep combined. I think they are having secret meetings. They all talk one at a time. Talking includes whimpers, growls, yips, barks, and grunts from the dogs and grunts, baaas, maaaas, and raaaas from the sheep. Every time they see me watching them they stare at me and go silent. I swear I just walked in on a secret meeting. Do anybody else’s animals do this?
