Gee, Mike! I want a couple of your "guardian sheep"! You & Theresa can bring them when y'all come to help put our fencing in.

Aww now....the sheep knew what should be coming and didn't want the dogs to side-track ya into doing something else, before they got what they wanted....

Almost all of the original 10 will do that. They will even head butt other sheep when they get pushy.

Fred - I'm not sure what goes through their minds but they have been that way since they had their lambs last year.

Our goats will do that to the cats if we are around them, and they can't stand for anything else to get any attention while they deem it their time and should be getting all the rubbings, scratcbings, and treats....of course it happened more when did the daily walk thing....so Glad that is over.....

If goats are anything like sheep they will remember. We haven't given the sheep feed of any kind for a couple of months till the last week or so and that is only to bribe them in from the electric net. All they have to do is see me coming and they come running for the gate.

I'm sure they remember all the grass ya cut and fed to them too....but, it always makes me feel good for my animals to greet me and want my attention....even the ducks will gather around me if I enter their area. I wouldn't have it any other way, and they all look to me for protection...if I hollar out they will all run to their pens and in I'm in the fence the goats will get behind me....

My sheep like me to accessorize my grungy farm clothes with a red plastic Folgers can.

We had a heavy frost this morning but it warmed up nicely this afternoon. I took some random pictures of the sheep and dogs. The pup tipped the scale this morning at 50 lbs even and he was 4 months old on the 9th.

He is wearing his weight really well and growing like a weed. They look really good together and think they will be quite the dynamic duo for ya there....
