This afternoon, having done all horse/pony/sheeple chores (feeding buckets, hay nets put up, checking, counting legs, feeding carrots, second breakfasts….), I took BeAnne to my shed for some peace and quiet.
Monster said he was already comfortable and wasn’t joining us.
Lambie was flouncing around outside so I invited him in too.
BeAnne took up her spot (my old Icelandic lopapeysa (gansey) on her comfy-wumfy bed)
Lambie was in a bit of a mood – I have no idea why but he spent most of his afternoon staring resentfully into the middle distance chewing his cud.
After a while, he sat down while I stabbed away.
(There was a faint, actually I lie, a strong smell of pee – it’s that time of year. Lambie has a thick fleece and he can’t help it. He is not peeing in my shed just carrying the smell about with him. As his Muzzah, I forgive him totally).
Meanwhile I optimistically put on the aromatherapy essential oil diffuser and made my sheeple.
I used Blue-Faced Leicester for the fleece – smaller curls which are rather lovely and obviously Shetland wool for the rest. I liked him.
He happily joined the others. I wonder what they talk about when I’m not there?
Oh bless them, all 3 Frances! Monster looks as cats do when they have got the cream = any advantage to themselves, be it super comfy bed, actual cream, fuss when they want it, terrorising other animals, best food, muzzah’s lap, etc, etc, etc ……!
Be-anne looks comfortable and serenely sleepy! Good to see.
Lambie, well just Lambie I guess!? Could be having an off-day but could be jealous of the wee ones who don’t smell of pee (unless said Lambie is blissfully unaware – highly likely)? Just a thought …..
As for your very wee ones (gorgeous by the way), I reckon the main topic of conversation is about the reasons you even bother with all the other creatures when they (the very wee ones) are so quiet, well behaved, non-smelly and require much less maintenance!
Love your little sheep …. they’re just lovely! Oh heck, I love your big sheep too…and all the rest of the critters around your place. Hope BeAnne continues to do well and the monster too.
Take care….all of you.
love the sheep you make. Does Lambie get a cut for working as your model? Sorry he has an Aroma right now.
He gets a kiss. All he needs!
