Listen, do you have an opening for a sheep dog? I gotta get out of this nuthouse. The cats are running my life and I think I have a hairball. I helped The Woman with a rescue litter and even they ran my life. Anyways, i never been near a sheep either, but I learn fast. I'm a collie and that means I'm smart, right?PerfectToscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503091254535696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-58544255709358095632008-11-22T22:28:00.000-08:002008-11-22T22:28:00.000-08:00What a beautiful horse!

On the plus side, today I took Mr. Sprat (who is now called "Just Jack"), Orion and Omen over to Allena's. It seems strange not having them around, but also not having to look out a hundred times a day and make sure they are WHERE they are suppose to be is nice!<BR/>TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-71363265657232335562008-11-22T12:52:00.000-08:002008-11-22T12:52:00.000-08:00That would be one strange love affair!

Next spring after shearing, the smell will be less intense. Maybe I am odd, but I don't dislike the smell of my rams. Pine scented air freshener is something that I think of as "stinky." Maybe I feel this way because the rams are producing a natural scent with the purpose of inducing the ewes to be fertile and receptive, but air fresheners are chemical pollutants in my mind.Carol B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18148501664346856904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31671898.post-40710689775504848112008-11-21T21:54:00.000-08:002008-11-21T21:54:00.000-08:00I too have frustrated ram, one week and counting u...I too have frustrated ram, one week and counting until I turn them out into their breeding pens!!

So, today I uploaded 4 posts that have been waiting in the wings for awhile. I love checking out your blog for the beautiful pictures and the details of animal husbandry.
