The sheep get so much attention in this blog one would think we don't really have any red dogs, but we do, yes we do !
The sheep were sheared, and this year was the best shearing weather we've ever had. After snow and an ice storm, I was expecting miserable weather, but the sun shone and it was actually fairly warm. The naked sheep appreciated basking in the sun after their shearing while I skirted their fleeces. I had 3 supervisors who after rolling in the dropped wool, and playing tug of war with each other using discarded clumps of wool, decided to snooze near me while I worked.They are getting older , as are we all. Sienna is 11 years old, her daughter Willow is 9 years old, and Bea is 7 years old. No more puppies around our place, but when you watch them playing together in the sun you wouldn't know it. It was a pleasant day, skirting & sorting wool in the sun with my 3 red dog supervisors.
