my other favorite pro tip: you can block people who send you anons only if you don't answer the ask. in your inbox, you can click the three little dots on the ask and block the sender from there (which also makes the message immediately disappear), though they won't show up in your blocked list to retain their anonymity. it's some kind of test of moral fortitude, like you can only banish this fool if you decline the chance to get the last word, but you can easily have your cake and eat it too by screenshotting the ask or copying the text or something first.

third pro tip: blocking here serves to make it so the person you block can't interact with you, it doesn't hide the person you blocked from your view, so if you want to do that then you should add their url to your filtered post content. not filtered tags, filtered post content.

Hmm.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Actual answer: the sheep know the dogs are not sheep, and they also know the dog is protecting them and take their cues from the dog about whether they need to run for the barn or can just ignore anything scary that approaches.

However, a friend once had an extremely premature orphan lamb born in December who had to live in the house for a couple of months with leg braces and all that, who due to spending her lambhood with dogs instead of sheep came out of the whole experience convinced she was a livestock guardian dog! She would patrol the perimeter of the fields every evening with the actual dog, stand watch in the barn door at night like the dog, and was more than willing to throw down if she saw something scary coming towards the flock the way the guard dog did. Tragically orphaned lamb did a convincing job at being a guard dog without actually having any of the biological advantages a dog has over a sheep.

Which I suppose made her Sheep Batman.

Oh jesus, I thought this person was exaggerating until I dared try this out of morbid curiosity. I hate the state of society 🤮
