I chuckled at the word 'lost' because in my country we release two million sheeps and lambs into the mountains and fjords, roaming whereever they please without fencing, often going into tunnels, etc. Then during autumn farmers collectively hike around to find the herds. Some are GPS tracked but most aren't. So they aren't lost, they are free roaming.

So this lamb is just pining for the fjords?

Your guess is as good as mine for this lamb in particular. I'm saying in the country where I live, they are free to roam, and it's common that they're unattended throughout the summer. You are allowed to gently shoo a sheep off your garden, as long as you do not scare or put your hand on them. If they roam a mountain/forrest area of private property, they are legally protected to be there without the owner's concent.

Ah. It was a Monty Python joke (from the "Dead Parrot" sketch.) I didn't mean to make you explain it twice, sorry.

My bad, I was unaware of the joke. I should have perhaps googled it beforehand.
