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.

Before...
The weatherman promised sunshine and warm temperatures.
Perfect weather for finally shearing my Shetland sheep!
I do believe the girls will be quite happy to give up their lovely locks
Looking forward to seeing more of the shearing. That reminds me 0 - I must get my two fleeces washed. Any hints or tips would be appreciated? Blessings, Star
There wasn't any rain predicted but I was a little nervous when dark clouds started building up while we were waiting for the shearer to arrive. Fortunately, the rain passed us by and the sun came back out for a sunny (and hot!) shearing day.
They're not fluffy ANY MORE, Katie! ;-)
Star ~ perhaps I'll do a post on skirting and washing my fleeces...
Those will be some big awesome fleeces! Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful sheep!
ReplyDeleteThose are some amazing looking fleeces! I bet the girls will be relieved to get their summer do's :)

Did you get the thunderstorms that came through the cities Saturday morning? I got rained out that the Art Festival.
ReplyDeleteWow they really have gotten fluffy!
