[ad_1] It’s been very foggy all day but when I walked the dogs, I found all the sheep together, which gave me great joy. At last, I thought, and I took a few photos and sat down on a rock. Various sheep came up to talk to me….. Bert Maggie Gussie Fink-Nottle (and sometimes known […]
Lost Sheep | My Shetland
[ad_1] These two didn’t turn up for their breakfast this morning and of course I was worried. Everyone always turns up for breakfast. Them’s The Rules. I swithered about letting Dahlia and Gussie stay out or going to look for them and decided that the others would eventually find them and that was better than […]
Sheep | My Shetland
[ad_1] Firstly, I should apologise to Madge because I have no photos of her. She just wasn’t in a very photogenic mood and wouldn’t stay around long enough for me to take a pic of her. So we will start with Harrel-the-Barrel and he is very much a barrel. I spend my days trying to […]
Dropping off Sheep | My Shetland
[ad_1] An early dog walk in my 5 acre field that has been left to grow grass for the winter months. It is a lovely walk and all the wild flowers are growing like Topsy. This time of year I keep my Shetland plant book on my desk. For reference purposes, it’s easier. Bogbean – […]
Farewell Queen of Sheep | My Shetland
[ad_1] Well, that’s Daisy gone south now too and I know Lambie will miss her hugely. Every morning this last week, Lambie has run (yes, run) to Daisy so they can have a lovely chat and scratch together. Apparently only Daisy understands him because she is the Queen of Sheep and I don’t, because I […]
Today’s Sheep | My Shetland
[ad_1] Out and about my daily dog walk this morning, I decided to go and see the sheep in their natural habitat. They come up for their breakfast in the shed and then return to whichever field they chose for the day. That’s the routine. Lambie first, as usual. Lambie with his Hallowe’en face. He […]
Mountain of Sheep | My Shetland
[ad_1] Here is a Mountain of Sheep, ok, hill. Picky, picky. Dear little Maggie. She arrived at our gate a few years back and has never left home, ever. It might be the breakfasts – just sayin’ – and I think it is. And Edna, who again came off the hill in a gaunt state […]
Sheep and Duckies | My Shetland
[ad_1] After weighing and packing veg all afternoon, I took my camera and the dogs out to check everyone was where they should be, happy and unproblematical. Guess what? Ducky Group #3 were outside for the first time. I have been leaving their door open during the day but they, to a duck, all decided […]
Return of the Queen of Sheep
[ad_1] As I said, Flossie is home and Lambie (I lie not) ran up to her this morning. He was very happy to see her. Meh, I thought to myself and possibly said it out loud too. So I spent my morning doing my yearly car muck out when I remove all the winter’s hay […]
