Shetland sheep have changed my life and touched my heart. They have brought me joy, adventure and serenity. Follow along as I live each day influenced by memories of my mighty flock of mini sheep ~ aided and abetted by "Bellamica", the English Shepherd,"Sable", my livestock guardian dog and "Hero" the rescue dog that stole my heart! You'll also meet many of the homeless dogs that I rescue and rehome as part of Bluff Country Canine Rescue.

Animal Updates...
Madonna brought her babies out of the nest! I did notice that the remaining egg is cracked in one spot. I listened, but couldn't hear any sound coming from it.
I put Madonna & her 2 babies back in the nest when I finished up my work outside.
I treated the adult ewes to a snack of yellowing leaves that I pulled off my abundant Day Lilies...
Bellamica and Crescent Moon entertained each other:
While Daisy the cat surveyed her 'kingdom'...
And sharpened her claws on the patio fence that supports my gigantic Clematis! Life is Good in the Bluff Country!
Thanks, Rayna! Partridge Silkies. That must be what Madonna and Ann Margaret are too. Bruce is mostly black and white speckled. I'll have to post a photo of him too....
Actually, nothing on a daylily is poisonous to anything that I know of. Lily-of-the-Valley are a completely different story though...But yeah, daylilies..I have 3 cookbooks for them :) Just try eating a bud sometime...very tasty :)
Very nice partridge silkie babies! :) They'll be slightly different colors when they get older, but will be pretty none-the-less :)

ReplyDeleteYeah for Madonna and the baby chicks! I hope they are both hens.

Life does indeed look good at the Bluff Country.

ReplyDeleteLily leaves are poisonous to kitties, but must not be to sheep.
